I decided to give a shot at just using React only for server side rendering of my components written in JSX.
I decided to eliminate React on the client side as there is not much client side interaction and I thought of adding it later only if needed.
I have couple of questions on this approach though:
How to use plain simple vanilla JavaScript at the client side? I'm still using JSX for my components. Any simple example, like handling a button click via event listener?
Bringing the entire hot module replacement experience with this approach. Right now i am using
webpack --watchand then restarting node server on any files changes as also stated in this comment. Also, where it's just pure SSR, how to refresh the screen? Right now I don't have to restart my server, but I have to still refresh my screen to reflect my changes.
Has anyone been successfully able to use webpack-hot-middleware in this approach, where it's just pure SSR?
