This is Moqui React SSR (Server-Side Rendering) Add-On Component

This Moqui add-on component adds support of React Server Rendering capability to Moqui.

You may try the demo

Desgin

  • Use Nashorn rendering react app in JVM
  • Support multiple apps, each app should have a unique name.
  • All apps share one Nashorn Engine to render all requests
  • Support multi-threads of rendering with isolated global bindings.
  • Use Apache Common Pool to pool Nashorn ScriptContext bindings instead of creating one per render
  • Can configure library js to run once when creating ScriptContext. It boosts performance and reduces memory footprint dramatically. But it should be used only when app js don't pollute global.

Performance

Run demo which configure libaray js only run once.

Requirement for React App

The react app should support server-side rendering. and app should not pollute Javascript global.

Javascript Polyfills for Nashorn

Nashorn only implements EMACScript, but client-side javascript app may use Browser capability

Nashorn

This component has already added polyfills for XMLHttpRequest (Not complete version, but can work with fetch) and HTML 5 Specification (Section 6)

The client-side javascript app would need to polyfill promise and fetch on global if it used them.

Variables

  • __APP_BASE_PATH__: defines the react app base path. In some cases, base path might not be /, so react router should prepend __APP_BASE_PATH__ in root route.
  • __IS_SSR__: when rendered in nashorn, __IS_SSR__ = true is injected in global, so react app could use window.__IS_SSR__ to tell it is rendered on server
  • __REQ_URL__: the request Url injected in global, it is the HttpServletRequest URI except protocol, domain and port part. React router should use it for SSR route logic.

Result of Render

Result is a map with two keys

  • html: server render string of html
  • state: redux store state rendered by server

The index.html should be rendered on server with use of html and state to accomplish server side rendering.

Boilerplate of SSR App

React Redux Starter Kit

You may use customized version of React Redux Starter Kit which add SSR support.

Although this component name contains React, it may be used by other single page app technologies like Angular JS, but only React app is tested.

Reference

Should I use a separate ScriptEngine and CompiledScript instances per each thread? https://github.com/winterbe/spring-react-example
