AGENDA
1. The term "Universal" JS
2. Who & Why
3. Common problems and technologies
4. Building a frontend only Single Page App
5. Making it universal
5
ADVANTAGESOF UNIVERSAL JAVASCRIPT
"JavaScript-only" development
Maintainability
Better SEO
Faster "perceived" load time8
ADVANTAGES...MORE
Keep using React/JS paradigms also to
generate "static" websites
Speed up content loading with
linkprefetch
loige.link/universal-react-made-easy-talk9
MODULE SHARING
Use Node.js modules in the browser
UMD
12
UNIVERSAL RENDERING
Render the views of the application from
the server (first request) and then in the
browser (next requests)
13
UNIVERSAL ROUTING
Recognise the view associated to the
current route from both the server and the
browser.
14
UNIVERSAL DATA RETRIEVAL
Access data (and APIs) from both the server
and the browser.
AXIOS UNIVERSALFETCH
15
UNIVERSAL STATEMANAGEMENT
Manage changes on the state tree both on
the server and the client...

"Static" Express server

RECAPWhat we learned so far
1. Define views combining React components
2. Add routing using React Router
3. Compile the client bundle with Babel and
Webpack
4. Run the app with a static Express server54
Updating the server app// ...import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server';import { StaticRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom';import { App } from './components/App';
// ...app.get('*', (req, res) => { let markup = ''; let status = 200;
const context = {}; markup = renderToString( <Router location={req.url} context={context}> <App /> </Router>, );
// context.url will contain the URL to // redirect to if a <Redirect> was used if (context.url) { return res.redirect(302, context.url); }
if (context.is404) { status = 404; }
return res.status(status).render('index', { markup });});

RECAPWhat we learned so far
1. Create a Single Page Application with
React and React Router
2. Add server side routing and rendering
using React and React Router libraries in the
Express app58
