@shopify/react-html
A component to render your react app with no static HTML.
Installation
$ yarn add @shopify/react-html
Usage
The <HTML>
component serves as a top level wrapper for a react application, allowing you to avoid needing any kind of server side template, in favour of purely using reactDom.renderToString
.
import * as React from 'react';
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server';
import HTML, {DOCTYPE} from '@shopify/react-html';
import MyApp from '../app';
export default (ctx, next) => {
ctx.body = DOCTYPE + renderToString(
<HTML>
<MyApp />
</HTML>
);
await next();
}
Due to limitations in react's implementation of HTML, you still need to prepend the <!DOCTYPE html>
directive. To assist with this the module also exports a DOCTYPE
constant.
The component will automatically propagate any usage of the react-helmet
module in your app's content to manipulate the title or other top level HTML or HEAD attributes.
Interface
export interface Props {
children?: React.ReactNode;
styles?: Asset[];
scripts?: Asset[];
blockingScripts?: Asset[];
headData?: {[id: string]: any};
data?: {[id: string]: any};
hideForInitialLoad?: boolean;
}
interface Asset {
path: string;
integrity?: string;
}
interface Browser {
userAgent: string;
supported: boolean;
}
Basic props
Most simple applications will only need these basic properties.
children
The children to be rendered inside the #app
div.
styles
Descriptors for any style tags you want to include in the HEAD of the document.
scripts
Descriptors for any script tags you want to include in your document. All scripts passed to this property will be deferred by appending them to the end of the document. We encourage this as a default, although you may use blockingScripts
for any scripts that must be included in the HEAD of the document.
blockingScripts
Descriptors for any script tags you want to include in the HEAD of the document. These will block HTML parsing until they are evaluated, so use them carefully.
hideForInitialLoad
Sets the body contents to be hidden for the initial render. Use this when injecting stylesheets dynamically in development in order to prevent a flash of unstyled content.
Serializers
These props are useful for more complex applications that want to synchronize redux, apollo, translation, or any other data across the network boundary. These props are stringified into the DOM using (@shopify/react-serialize
)[https://github.com/Shopify/quilt/blob/master/packages/react-serialize/README.md].
headData
Any serializable data that needs to be available from the DOM when the synchronousScripts
are run.
data
Any serializable data that needs to be available from the DOM when the deferredScripts
are run.
Asset Components
This module also exports the asset components the <HTML />
component uses internally for it's script and style props.
import {Style, Script} from '@shopify/react-html';
Style
The <Style />
component lets you render <link>
tags in your document dynamically as part of your react app.
<Style
href="./some-style.css"
integrity="some-integrity-hash"
crossOrigin="anonymous"
/>
Script
The <Script />
component lets you render <script>
tags in your document dynamically as part of your react app.
<Script
src="./some-script.js"
integrity="some-integrity-hash"
crossOrigin="anonymous"
/>
