webpack-react-compiler-plugin v0.0.2

React webpack compiler plugin for webpack

Create isomorphic static sites using webpack and React.

Installation

npm install webpack-react-compiler-plugin --save-dev

Usage

Add ReactCompilerPlugin to your webpack.config.js.

const ReactCompilerPlugin = require('webpack-react-compiler-plugin')

module.exports = {
  // other config options

  plugins: [
    new ReactCompilerPlugin()
  ]
}

In your main entry source file, export the routes to render and call connect to hook up to the pre-rendered HTML pages on the client. Add a static layoutProps to every page to tell ReactCompilerPlugin which component to use as the layout template.

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import connect, { ClientOnly } from 'webpack-react-compiler-plugin/runtime'
import Layout from '../layouts'

class Index extends Component {
  render () {
    // Use `ClientOnly` whenever you're doing client-specific stuff like
    // accessing `window` or `document`
  }
}

// Tell `ReactCompilerPlugin` which component to use as a layout template
Index.layoutProps = {
  layout: Layout,
  title: 'Index'
}

const routes = {
  index: Index,
  home: require('./home')
}
// export pages to render
module.exports = routes
// connect to the prerendered components on the client
connect(routes)

Also have a look at example for a minimal setup.

Caveats

• If you want to have styles, you currently have to create a CSS file using extract-text-webpack-plugin
