Overview
Vite SSR is a powerful tool that simplifies Server Side Rendering (SSR) for both Vue and React applications using Node.js. Designed to enhance developer experience, it offers a seamless integration with Vite’s capabilities, ensuring lightning-fast hot module replacement even in SSR mode. This small yet effective library abstracts much of the complexity typically associated with SSR, making it accessible for developers looking to optimize their applications.
By leveraging Vite SSR, developers can create SEO-friendly applications with quick loading times, all while maintaining the flexibility to adopt their preferred routing and API logic. Whether deploying on serverless platforms like Vercel and Netlify, or traditional servers like Express.js, Vite SSR provides the tools necessary for modern web development.
