Best solution for converting reactjs project based on boilerplate to SSR - reactjs

salam;
We developed a PWA based on react-boilerplate. it's totally based on webpack.
now I'm supposed to implement SSR on this application. the problem is that , I can't find any suitable solution on converting current project to SSR.
I tried nextjs but integration with project is not possible. additionally its requirement for changing infrastructure is too much.
I tried some other libraries such as react-snapshot and ... but each of them has some specific issues.
any body can help me?

Micro Frontend Architecture in React Native Application

I am creating a react-native application, And the application having many module like
Login Module
Payment
Cart
Product etc.
So I want to follow Micro Frontend Architecture for each module. I have searched on internet but did not find anything. So I want to know is it possible to achieve Micro Frontend Architecture for React-Native application. If yes then How ?
You can use Re.Pack, which is Webpack toolkit for React Native. Since v3 it provides its own ModuleFederationPlugin, which allows you to set up Module Federation (MF) architecture of building micro-frontends.
Example MF app can be found here: https://github.com/callstack/repack-examples/tree/main/module-federation. It covers a basic example of 2 mini-apps loaded dynamically from a "host" app.
There are no proper solutions for RN Micro-frontend so far.
there are a few libraries that may help you to achieve this.
https://github.com/callstack/react-native-brownfield
React Native Wix
But these are not recommended
kindly go through this link so you will be more clear about your question.

Microfrontends are concept originating from Web apps world. Achieving the same paradigm on mobile/React Native is possible, e.g. by using Re.Pack, but requires a quite complex setup. On the other hand, using Re.Pack will give you more app superpowers, like dynamically loading bundle splits from Internet.
As a simpler alternative, I would suggest setting up a monorepo containing separate NPM packages for each of the modules. This way you can achieve code separation more natural for mobile apps paradigm.

Can you use Next.js with a React Native App?

I have recently been learning Next.js for React and I like the routing system a lot more than react navigation. Now I am about to start a react native frontend and I was wondering if you can utilise Next.js's routing system in react native as well as it's other benefits. I know that you can use it with expo but I am a little confused as to how it all works and I am starting to wonder if the Next only works on the web side of things..
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Unfortunately you can't do such thing, due to the fact that the views of react native are Equivalent to native views in Java or Objective C. When you get build version of react native , you are receiving Java or Objective C native views thank to react native's RN bridge. Meanwhile, when you get build version of your Next.js project, you are going to receive HTML, CSS, JS and these codes are not familiar to native platforms.
However, you can use your Next.js backend as your endpoints and fetch data in react native via calling this endpoints.
UPDATE Oct_2022:
there seem to be a new tool created for this purpose , called solito. I haven't used it personally but it might meet your needs.
UPDATE Jan_2023:
It looks like there are more Tools being created for Both web and native platforms , check react-native-web
You can check out Tauri. With that you can create from Next.js, React, Svelte etc. cross-platform native Apps. Currently, Windows, Mac and Linux are supported stable. Android & iOS is currently in Alpha
The magic behind Tauri is, that they provide around your Frontend library/framework a Rust layer with that you can interact with platform native APIs. They call it Commands.
You can find the guide for Next.js here.
Also, if it's not exactly answering the question - "Is it possible to use Next.js in React native?" - I hope that it's helping everyone who is searching for a solution to use Next.js as Cross-Platform Frontend Framework
I read a thread on ycombinator on this where Solito was mentioned and tried it out. In the comments I found this, which suited my needs best :
https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter
Solito looks nice but the all in one repo was using Expo, which I did not like because it installs an extra app. I would check it out for yourself and look at the repo above too, which is using Capacitor and is aimed at having one codebase for the two apps.
Both examples worked well. For Tauri I could not find the mobile support so I didn't try it. I would be interested to read more about people's experience with running a minimum stack for cross platform development.
Note : Solito uses React Native, the repo uses Capacitor instead, which may also suite your needs because it works on both iOS and Android.
There's a lot of support now for this tech stack. Besides solito, which is already mentioned, there is also https://tamagui.dev/ which tries to solve all the issues with react-native-web and Next.js along with Solito.
While they currently recommend a monorepo (which adds a lot of complexity in my opinion), I'm playing around with a vanilla React Native + Next.js here: https://github.com/criszz77/luna
This command should get you started to play around:
npx react-native init MyAppName --template #criszz77/luna

using ChartIQ in nextJS

I have recently downloaded the trial version of ChartIQ SDK from here and it is working fine on a React project. But when i switched to Next.js, some features are not usable anymore.
I'm facing three problems on my Next.js project.
CIQ.Studies is undefined so I cannot add studies to my chart.
Also stxx.changeVectorType is undefined so I cannot use drawing tools.
And only candleSticks , mountain and line types are available.
I am using the same chartiq-8.3.0.tgz file both on my React and Next projects and it is all working fine on React but I am experiencing what I just said on Next.js. Can anyone help with me with possible solutions on that?
Nextjs load libraries on server side, where CHARTIQ is client library that works with document object on the browser.
You need to import the libraries with SSR (Server Side Rendering) disabled
doc : https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/dynamic-import#with-no-ssr
I contacted chartIQ technical support. And the solution is to include advance.js instead of chartiq.js

Which method is best to setup large React Project by create-react-app or web pack?

I am new to React i have some queries please answer me.
Which method is best to setup large React Project by create-react-app or web pack?
Which is the correct directory structure for large react project(type based or feature based)?
I would suggest you go with Webpack method because with that method you get better control over things + you will be knowing what all things are being used in your project + when you will be setting up everything from scratch it will be easy to debug things.Rest is your choice. but as you mentioned your project is very big I would suggest Webpack method.

Universal rendering for react app based on create-react-app

I have an app based on the create-react-app starter kit and need to switch to universal/server rendering due to SEO issues.
Is there an easy way or example of taking the create-react-app teamplate and adding or modifying it to support universal rendering?
A lot of the examples I see for universal are overly complex for my needs and I prefer to keep it very clean and simple, if possible.
Thanks.
EDIT: FYI,
I found this medium post which points at this repository.
Seems simple enough, but since I'm a newbie on all webpack/react/node related stuff, if anyone thinks it's the wrong approach, would love to know...
There was a proof of concept of adding server rendering in this PR.
I can’t speak to how good it is but it’s something you could start with.
You may also look at some of the alternatives.
A few of them provide server rendering out of the box.
I've just created react universal (server-side rendering) starter used recommendations from redux and react-router v4. Fill free for feedback
https://github.com/gzoreslav/react-redux-saga-universal-application
You can take your app (bootstrapped with Create React App) to the next level by replacing react-scripts with a slightly altered version - react-app-tools, which allows adding server-side code to your project (e.g. for server-side rendering purposes and/or implementing an API endpoint). It will allow compiling and running your app using normal Create React App pipeline, using a single instance of Webpack, on the same HTTP port.
You can find more info by visiting React App SDK.
