Stencil Prerender Test App

This is a simple monorepo setup to test Stencil SSG (prerendering). The repo consists of two packages:

1. packages/stencil-library: A Stencil component library
2. packages/server-app: A Node app that consumes the Stencil hydrate script to serve static HTML

How To Use

1. From project root, run npx lerna bootstrap to install dependencies for all packages
2. From project root, run cd packages/stencil-library && npm run build to create the hydrate script
3. From project root, run cd packages/server-app && npm start to spin-up the Node server on port 8888

The Node app uses the renderToString() method from the Stencil Hydrate App to easily convert an HTML string to valid HTML. The transformed HTML is then written to the server response.

To change what is rendered, you can modify the call to renderToString() in packages/server-app/srs/index.ts with whatever HTML you want. All web components defined in packages/stencil-library are available to use in the HTML string. If you modify the Stencil library, you will need to rebuild the library package (cd packages/stencil-library && npm run build). The packages are symbolically linked via Lerna, so you do not need to install an updated build of the Stencil library.
