🎒 Nexo

Preact apps with Deno

Quick start and example

• Nexo Starter
• npx degit nexojs/starter

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
