  • Static Site Generation (SSG) with route pre-rendering
• TypeScript: Full integration for robust, type-safe development
• File-Based Routing: Intuitive routing based on your project’s file structure
• API Routes: Dedicated server-side endpoints for seamless API development
• Streaming: Efficient data rendering for faster page loads
• Build Optimizations: Code splitting, tree shaking, and dead code elimination
• Deployment Adapters: Easily deploy to platforms like Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, and more

Getting Started

Installation

Create a SolidStart template project with your preferred package manager

# using npm
npm create solid@latest -- -s

# using pnpm
pnpm create solid@latest -s

# using bun
bun create solid@latest --s

Project Structure

• public/: Static assets like icons, images, and fonts

  • routes/: File-based routing for pages and APIs
  • app.tsx: Root component of your application
  • entry-client.tsx: Handles client-side hydration
  • entry-server.tsx: Manages server-side request handling
• Configuration Files: app.config.ts, package.json, and more

Adapters

Configure adapters in app.config.ts to deploy to platforms like Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, and others

import { defineConfig } from "@solidjs/start/config";

export default defineConfig({
  ssr: true, // false for client-side rendering only
  server: { preset: "netlify" },
});

Presets also include runtimes like Node.js, Bun or Deno. For example, a preset like node-server enables hosting on your server.

Building

Generate production-ready bundles

npm run build # or pnpm build or bun build

After the build completes, you’ll be guided through deployment for your specific preset.
