Meetup 9: CSS for server rendered React components without Node.js (continued)
· One min read
Managing Partner at Dining Philosophers, LLP.
We continued the development of our Dream powered Server Side rendered React components (without node.js) with styled-ppx
styled-ppx working only on Client side
We used Melange compiler to compile Reason to JS, which is fed to webpack.
Making sure it works on server side.
We use CssJs.render_style_tag() to generated server side rendered CSS to inject into the style tag.
Dynamic CSS props
This was uncharted territory. Thankfully, @davesnx had given a heads-up! The CSS rendering, render_style_tag must be called only after React components are rendered.
