explosive v0.1.0

Explosive

A flexible library for stateful server-side rendering. Everything here is experimental, unstable, buggy and full of dragons. Please do *not use in production.

Due to the use of jsdom, io.js is required.

Installation

npm install explosive

How it works

Explosive aims to be as unobtrusive as possible. It provides facilities to render your front-end application on the server.

It consists of two parts:

• server middleware — Explosive provides an Express-compatible middleware that takes care of all rendering on the server.
• store - You have to put your data inside an Explosive-managed store to have it synced with the server.

Because the code is very much a proof of concept, only frameworks that support server-side rendering out of the box, like React, are supported. Other ones that do not have the facilities to attach to pre-existing markup will not work at the moment.

This document will be updated with examples and a more thorough explanation as the design stabilizes.
