Webpack plugin to prerender JS apps in a JSDOM context
A plugin to prerender and inject JavaScript apps into the static markup generated by html-webpack-plugin at build time. This was heavily inspired by html-webpack-prerender-plugin by Reuters Graphics.
Install this package and html-webpack-plugin as dev dependencies
yarn add --dev html-webpack-plugin html-webpack-jsdom-prerender-plugin
Add the plugins to your webpack configuration
// webpack.config.js
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')
const HtmlWebpackJsdomPrerenderPlugin = require('html-webpack-jsdom-prerender-plugin')
module.exports = {
entry: './src/js/index.js',
output: {
path: './dist',
filename: '[name].js',
},
// ...
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
filename: 'index.html',
template: './src/templates/index.html',
}),
new HtmlWebpackJsdomPrerenderPlugin({
'index.html': {
chunks: ['main'],
},
}),
],
}
Create an HTML template for your app
<!-- src/templates/index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head></head>
<body>
<div id='root'></div>
</body>
</html>
Make sure your app will change the DOM when it runs. If you're using
a framework like React you can use the flag
window.__HTML_WEBPACK_JSDOM_PRERENDER_PLUGIN__ to see if your app is
running in a prerender environment rather than on the client.
// src/js/index.js
import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server'
import Component from './my-component'
const node = document.getElementById('root')
if (window.__HTML_WEBPACK_JSDOM_PRERENDER_PLUGIN__) {
node.innerHTML = renderToString(<Component />)
} else {
render(<Component />, node)
}
Note The plugin only currently supports two types of publicPath: "auto" (the same behavior as if the publicPath is excluded) and a path relative to the root, for example "/assets".
