Iso

Iso is starter-pack for creating isomorphic single-page application with using SSR technology on NodeJS.

Warning

For a comfortable development you will need the knowledge of React, Redux and Fastify.

Tech

ISO uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• Node.js - Open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment.
• Typescript - JavaScript with syntax for types.
• Fastify - Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js
• React - JavaScript library for building user interfaces
• Redux - A Predictable State Container for JS Apps
• Rspack - Module bundler
• HMR - Hot Module Replacement
• Browsersync - Time-saving synchronised browser testing
• SWC - Rust-based platform for the Web
• ESLint - Statically analyzes your code to quickly find problems.
• Loadable-components - React code splitting library.
• Prisma - Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM
• react-i18next - Powerful internationalization framework for React / React Native which is based on i18next.
• Etc. (See package.json)

And of course ISO itself is open source with a [public repository] on GitHub.

Usage

Install

ISO requires Node.js v20+ and Redis (optional) to run.

$ git clone https://github.com/ogarich89/iso.git <project name>
$ cd <project name>
$ yarn install

Development

1. Create configuration file

$ touch config/environment/development.json

2. Set params

{
 "port": 3000,
 "browserSyncPort": 3001,
 "api": "https://reqres.in",
 "withStatic": true,
 "inspect": true,
 "logger": true
}

port - Node.js server port
browserSyncPort - Development proxy server port with browserSync and HMR
api - Backend API hostname
sessionRedisDb - Redis database index
withStatic - Serve static files with NodeJS server
withRedis - Session with Redis store
inspect - Debugging Node.js with Chrome DevTools
logger - Fastify logger
analyze - Rsdoctor
sentryDSN - Error monitoring with Sentry
certificate - Optional object for run https server { "key": "/path/to/key.pem", "cert": "/path/to/cert.pem" }

If you want to use Prisma run the command

$ cp .env.example .env

and set DATABASE_URL environment variable

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/iso?connect_timeout=1000

3. Run dev server

$ yarn dev

or run each command in a separate terminal tab

$ yarn watch:client
$ yarn watch:server
$ yarn server

Open in browser http://localhost:3001

---

Run without watch files, HMR, BrowserSync, Gulp

$ yarn start

Open in browser http://localhost:3000

---

Production

1. Building for source

For production release:

$ yarn production

Build mode (development | production) depending on NODE_ENV
Reading file config/environment/(staging | production).json depending on ENVIRONMENT

$ yarn build

2. Run Node.js server

$ node server/index.mjs

F.A.Q.

How to add page?

1. Create file example.tsx in src/components/pages
2. Connect the page in src/routes.ts

const routes = [
  ...
  route({ 
    path: '/',
    layout: 'main',
    children: [
      { path: '/example', page: 'example' },
    ],
  }),
  ...
];

How to add nested page?

1. Add Outlet component to example page
2. Create file nested.tsx in src/components/pages
3. Connect the page in src/routes.ts

const routes = [
  ...
  route({ 
    path: '/',
    layout: 'main',
    children: [
      { 
        path: '/example', 
        page: 'example', 
        children: [
          {
            path: '/example/nested',
            page: 'nested'
          }
        ] 
      },
    ],
  }),
  ...
];

How to create initial action?

1. Create file example.ts in src/store/actions

export const exampleInitialAction = createAsyncThunk(
    'exampleInitialAction',
    async (req: { url: string }) => {
      const { data } = await request('example', $DATA, $PARAMS, req).catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
        return { data: null };
      });
      return data;
    },
);

2. Add to page in src/components/pages

const routes = [
  ...
  route({ 
    path: '/',
    layout: 'main',
    children: [
      { path: '/example', page: 'example', initialAction: exampleInitialAction },
    ],
  }),
  ...
];

3. Configure the initial action on the client side

You can use hook useInitialState if initialAction return one state in array

const state = useInitialState(initialAction, exampleSelector, exampleResetAction);

or arrange the initialization of the state at your discretion
