🎒 Nexo

Preact apps with Deno

Quick start and example

Features

  • Hot module replace for server modules
  • Live reload
  • Outputs server errors in browser
  • Logs client bundle errors in browser
  • Preact SSR
  • Otion SSR
  • Auto bundling and hashing of client js assets

Philosophy

  • Only require Deno on the system
  • Render as much as possible on the server
  • But render dynamic parts only on the client
  • Don’t reinvent existing browser architecture
    • No client side routing
    • Neither polyfill’s nor babel for stone age browsers like IE-11
  • Oak for http
    • Giving freedom how to setup server middleware
    • No file system based routing
  • Preact for dom rendering
  • Otion for css

Future ideas

  • Live reload scroll position recovery
  • Minifying client bundles
  • 404 Page template
  • Lazy bundling of client js
