Isolated development environment

x0 dev src/App.js

Options:

  -o --open   Open dev server in default browser
  -p --port   Set custom port for dev server

x0 dev src/App.js -op 8080

Static Render

Render static HTML and client-side bundle

x0 build src/App.js --out-dir site

Render static HTML without bundle

x0 build src/App.js --out-dir site --static

Options

  -d --out-dir    Directory to save index.html and bundle.js to
  -s --static     Only render static HTML (no client-side JS)

Fetching Data

Use the getInitialProps static method to fetch data for static rendering. This method was inspired by Next.js but only works for static rendering.

const App = props => (
  <h1>Hello {props.data}</h1>
)

App.getInitialProps = async ({
  Component,
  pathname
}) => {
  const fetch = require('isomorphic-fetch')
  const res = await fetch('http://example.com/data')
  const data = await res.json()

  return { data }
}

CSS-in-JS

x0 supports server-side rendering for styled-components, glamor, glamorous, and fela. To enable CSS rendering for static output, use the cssLibrary option

x0 build src/App.js --cssLibrary="styled-components"

Available options:

Head content

Head elements such as <title>, <meta>, and <style> can be rendered at the beginning of a component. Browsers should handle this correctly since the <head> and <body> elements are optional in HTML 5.

const App = props => (
  <React.Fragment>
    <title>Hello x0</title>
    <style dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
      __html: 'body{font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,sans-serif}'
    }} />
    <h1>Hello x0</h1>
  </React.Fragment>
)

Configuration

Default props can be passed to x0 in a package.json field named x0.

"x0": {
  "title": "Hello",
  "count": 0
}

Routing

To render multiple pages and use routing, add a routes array to the package.json configuration object.

"x0": {
  "routes": [
    "/",
    "/about"
  ]
}

x0 build src/App.js --static --out-dir site

The current route will be passed to the component as props.pathname. This can be used with react-router's StaticRouter and BrowserRouter components.

// Example with react-router
import React from 'react'
import {
  StaticRouter,
  BrowserRouter,
  Route,
  Link
} from 'react-router-dom'
import Home from './Home'
import About from './About'

// universal router component
const Router = typeof document !== 'undefined'
  ? BrowserRouter
  : StaticRouter

const App = props => (
  <Router
    basename={props.basename}
    location={props.pathname}>
    <nav>
      <Link to='/'>Home</Link>
      <Link to='/about'>About</Link>
    </nav>
    <Route
      exact
      path='/'
      render={() => <Home {...props} />}
    />
    <Route
      path='/about'
      render={() => <About {...props} />}
    />
  </Router>
)

Code Splitting

To split client side bundles when rendering a static site, x0 supports React Loadable with no additional setup needed.

// example of using React Loadable
import React from 'react'
import Loadable from 'react-loadable'

const About = Loadable({
  loading: () => <div>loading...</div>,
  loader: () => import('./About')
})

const App = props => (
  <div>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <About />
  </div>
)

Proxy

If you want to proxy requests you can configure it using the x0 key in your package.json. This can be useful when you're running a local api server during development.

The following example proxies all /api requests to http://localhost:3000.

"x0": {
  "/api": "http://localhost:3000"
}
