React Server Rendering

得益于 virtual DOM 和 jsx, React 并不需要依赖于 DOM, 所以能在服务器上渲染 React 应用, 并且向客户端发送 HTML 代码.

Babel es6+

Node 目前只支持部分 es6 特性，我们需要 Babel 把代码转换一次，新建 .babelrc 文件

{
  "presets": ["es2015", "react", "stage-0"],
  "plugins": ["babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy"]
}

为了自动转换代码，我们使用 gulp

const gulp = require('gulp');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');

gulp.task("transform", () => {
  return gulp.src("app/**/*.js")
    .pipe(babel({
      presets: ["es2015", "react", "stage-0"],
        plugins: ["babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy"]
      }))
      .pipe(gulp.dest("build"));
});

gulp.task("watch", ()=> {
    gulp.watch("app/**/*.js", ["transform"]);
});

gulp.task("default", ["transform", "watch"]);

Async

React 在 server 中的 Lifecycle 有些不一样, 因为服务器对客户端是单向的，这样基本上只会出输出我们在 jsx 中定义好的 markup 代码，异步请求的数据并不会被渲染，所以我们需要定义一些钩子，让异步请求完成后再向客户端发送数据。

React + Redux + React Router + immutable 应该是现在最稳定和常见的 React 应用组合，下面将以这个为例子：

Middleware

在 redux 中加入 promise middleware, 自动处理含有 promise 的 action：

export default function promiseMiddleware() {
  return (next) => (action) => {
    const {promise, type, ...rest} = action;
    if(!promise) {
      return next(action);
    }

    const SUCCESS = type + "_SUCCESS";
    const REQUEST = type + "_PENDING";
    const FAILURE = type + "_FAILURE";

    next({...rest, type: REQUEST});

    return promise.then((result) => {
      const data = result && result.data ? result.data : result;
      next({...rest, data, type: SUCCESS})
    }).catch((error)=> {
      console.log(error);
      next({...rest, error, type: FAILURE})
    });
  }
}

Action

在 action 中添加 promise：

import request from "axios";

export const GET_POST = "GET_POST";

export function getPost(params) {
  return {
    type: GET_POST,
    promise: request.get(`/posts/${params.id}`)
  }
}

Reducer

middleware 会自动添加 promise 中各种状态的 action type, 所以在 reducer 中直接处理：

import {GET_POST} from "../actions/post";
import {Map, List, fromJS} from "immutable";

const initState = Map({
  post: Map(),
  isFetching: false
});

export default (state=initState, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case `${GET_POST}_PENDING`:
      return state.set("isFetching", true);
    case `${GET_POST}_SUCCESS`:
      return state.set("isFetching", false).set("post", fromJS(action.data));
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

Container

在 Container 中加入 promises 钩子:

import React, {Component} from "react";
import {connect} from "react-redux";
import {getPost} from "../actions/post";

@connect(state => {
  return {
    post: state.post.get("post")
  }
})
export default class Post extends Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  static promises = [
    getPost
  ]

  render() {
    const {post}  = this.props;
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>{post.get("title")}</h1>
        <div>{post.get("content")}</div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Server

在当前 route component 的所有 promise resolve 后才会向客户端发送数据

import { renderToString } from "react-dom/server";
import { RouterContext } from "react-router";
import { Provider } from "react-redux";

function fetchComponentData(dispatch, components, params) {

  const promises = components.reduce((prev, current) => {
    return (current && current.promises || [])
      .concat(current && current.WrappedComponent ? current.WrappedComponent.promises : [] || [])
      .concat(prev || []);
  }, []);

  const fetch = promises.map(promise => dispatch(promise(params)));

  return Promise.all(fetch);
}

app.use("/", function(req, res) {
  match({ routes, location: req.url }, (error, redirectLocation, renderProps) => {
    if (error) {
      res.status(500).send(error.message);
      console.log(error);
    } else if (redirectLocation) {
      res.redirect(302, redirectLocation.pathname + redirectLocation.search)
    } else if (renderProps) {
      fetchComponentData(store.dispatch, renderProps.components, renderProps.params)
        .then(()=> {
          const rootMarkup = renderToString(
            <Provider store={store}>
              <RouterContext { ...renderProps } />
            </Provider>
          );
          const initialState = store.getState();
          res.status(200).send(
            `
              <!DOCTYPE HTML>
              <head>
                <script>window.__INIT_STATE__ = ${JSON.stringify(initialState)}</script>
              </head>
              <html>
                <body>
                  <div id="root">${rootMarkup}</div>
                </body>
              </html>
          `;
        );
      }).catch((error)=> {
        console.log(error);
        res.status(500).send(error);
      });
    } else {
      res.status(404).send('Not found')
    }
})
