A deprecated demo tutorial (with video) showing how to build isomorphic/universal JavaScript apps using React and Node.js with Express, rendering React components to strings on the server. It demonstrates server-side rendering benefits like SEO indexability and faster perceived load times.
Use cases
- learn how to render React components on the server with Express
- understand isomorphic/universal JavaScript concepts
- make a React app indexable by search engines
- see how to share React code between client and server
- follow a video tutorial on server-side rendering with React
- learn how to use React.renderToString in an Express app
When to choose
- you want a simple, historical example of server-side rendering with React and Express
- you're learning the fundamentals of universal/isomorphic JavaScript
- you want a walkthrough with an accompanying video tutorial
When to avoid
- you're starting a new production project - the code uses deprecated React APIs like React.createClass and node-jsx
- you need modern SSR - use Next.js or similar frameworks instead
- you need maintained, up-to-date examples with current React versions
