Package description
The @vue/server-renderer package is designed for server-side rendering (SSR) of Vue.js applications. It allows developers to render Vue components on the server and send the rendered HTML to the client, improving the initial load time and SEO for Vue.js applications. This package is part of the Vue.js ecosystem and is specifically tailored for Vue 3.x applications.
Rendering a Vue Component to a String
This feature allows you to render a Vue component to an HTML string on the server. This is useful for generating the initial HTML for a page on the server, which can then be sent to the client for faster initial load times and better SEO.
const { createSSRApp } = require('vue');
const { renderToString } = require('@vue/server-renderer');
const app = createSSRApp({
data: () => ({ msg: 'Hello, server-side rendering!' }),
template: '<div>{{ msg }}</div>'
});
renderToString(app).then(html => {
console.log(html);
});Streaming a Vue Component
This feature enables streaming rendering of a Vue component. Instead of waiting for the entire component to be rendered before sending it to the client, the rendered output is streamed to the client as it's generated. This can improve the perceived performance of the application.
const { createSSRApp } = require('vue');
const { renderToNodeStream } = require('@vue/server-renderer');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const vueApp = createSSRApp({
data: () => ({ msg: 'Hello, streaming SSR!' }),
template: '<div>{{ msg }}</div>'
});
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
const stream = renderToNodeStream(vueApp);
stream.pipe(res);
});
app.listen(3000);Similar to @vue/server-renderer, this package is used for server-side rendering of React applications. It provides methods like `renderToString` and `renderToStaticMarkup` for rendering React components to HTML strings on the server. While both packages serve similar purposes for their respective frameworks, their APIs and usage are tailored to the specifics of React and Vue.
This package enables server-side rendering for Angular applications. It includes features for rendering Angular applications to HTML on the server and transferring state from server to client. Like @vue/server-renderer, it's designed to improve initial load time and SEO, but it's specifically built for Angular applications.

Note: as of 3.2.13+, this package is included as a dependency of the main vue package and can be accessed as vue/server-renderer. This means you no longer need to explicitly install this package and ensure its version match that of vue's. Just use the vue/server-renderer deep import instead.
renderToStringSignature
function renderToString(
input: App | VNode,
context?: SSRContext
): Promise<string>
Usage
const { createSSRApp } = require('vue')
const { renderToString } = require('@vue/server-renderer')
const app = createSSRApp({
data: () => ({ msg: 'hello' }),
template: `<div>{{ msg }}</div>`
})
;(async () => {
const html = await renderToString(app)
console.log(html)
})()
If the rendered app contains teleports, the teleported content will not be part of the rendered string. Instead, they are exposed under the teleports property of the ssr context object:
const ctx = {}
const html = await renderToString(app, ctx)
console.log(ctx.teleports) // { '#teleported': 'teleported content' }
renderToNodeStreamRenders input as a Node.js Readable stream.
Signature
function renderToNodeStream(input: App | VNode, context?: SSRContext): Readable
Usage
// inside a Node.js http handler
renderToNodeStream(app).pipe(res)
Note: This method is not supported in the ESM build of @vue/server-renderer, which is decoupled from Node.js environments. Use pipeToNodeWritable instead.
pipeToNodeWritableRender and pipe to an existing Node.js Writable stream instance.
Signature
function pipeToNodeWritable(
input: App | VNode,
context: SSRContext = {},
writable: Writable
): void
Usage
// inside a Node.js http handler
pipeToNodeWritable(app, {}, res)
renderToWebStreamRenders input as a Web ReadableStream.
Signature
function renderToWebStream(
input: App | VNode,
context?: SSRContext
): ReadableStream
Usage
// inside an environment with ReadableStream support
return new Response(renderToWebStream(app))
Note: in environments that do not expose ReadableStream constructor in the global scope, pipeToWebWritable should be used instead.
pipeToWebWritableRender and pipe to an existing Web WritableStream instance.
Signature
function pipeToWebWritable(
input: App | VNode,
context: SSRContext = {},
writable: WritableStream
): void
Usage
This is typically used in combination with TransformStream:
// TransformStream is available in environments such as CloudFlare workers.
// in Node.js, TransformStream needs to be explicitly imported from 'stream/web'
const { readable, writable } = new TransformStream()
pipeToWebWritable(app, {}, writable)
return new Response(readable)
renderToSimpleStreamRenders input in streaming mode using a simple readable interface.
Signature
function renderToSimpleStream(
input: App | VNode,
context: SSRContext,
options: SimpleReadable
): SimpleReadable
interface SimpleReadable {
push(content: string | null): void
destroy(err: any): void
}
Usage
let res = ''
renderToSimpleStream(
app,
{},
{
push(chunk) {
if (chunk === null) {
// done
console(`render complete: ${res}`)
} else {
res += chunk
}
},
destroy(err) {
// error encountered
}
}
)
