Content details

The content you specify for your path can either be a string or a promise returning function.

If it's a string, it's treated as a straight React template to be rendered.

If it's a function, the function should return a promise that resolves an object:

function myContent() {
  return Promise.resolve({
    status: 200,
    html: "<h1>Hello React!</h1>",
    prefetch: ""
  });
}
