Enhance SSR
Server sider render for Custom Elements.
Enhance enables a web standards based workflow that embraces the platform by supporting Custom Elements and slot syntax.
Usage
import HelloWorld from './path/to/elements/hello-world.mjs' import enhance from 'jsr:@enhance/ssr' const html = enhance({ elements: { 'hello-world': HelloWorld } }) console.log(html`<hello-world greeting="Well hi!"></hello-world>`)
An example custom element template for use in Server Side Rendering
Elements are pure functions that are passed an object containing an html function used to expand custom elements and a state object comprised of attrs which are the attributes set on the custom element and a store object that contains application state.
export default function HelloWorld({ html, state }) { const { attrs } = state const { greeting='Hello World' } = attrs return html` <style scope="global"> h1 { color: red; } </style> <h1>${greeting}</h1> ` }
The rendered output
<head> <style scope="global"> h1 { color: red; } </style> </head> <body> <hello-world> <h1>Hello World</h1> </hello-world> </body>
Render function
You can also use an object that exposes a render function as your template. The render function will be passed the same arguments { html:function, state:object }.
{ attrs: [ 'label' ], init(el) { el.addEventListener('click', el.click) }, render({ html, state }) { const { attrs={} } = state const { label='Nope' } = attrs return html` <pre> ${JSON.stringify(state)} </pre> <button>${ label }</button> ` }, click(e) { console.log('CLICKED') }, adopted() { console.log('ADOPTED') }, connected() { console.log('CONNECTED') }, disconnected() { console.log('DISCONNECTED') } }
Use these options objects with the enhance custom element factory
Store
Supply initital state to enhance and it will be passed along in a store object nested inside the state object.
Node
import MyStoreData from './path/to/elements/my-store-data.mjs' import enhance from 'jsr:@enhance/ssr' const html = enhance({ elements: { 'my-store-data': MyStoreData }, initialState: { apps: [ { users: [ { name: 'tim', id: 001 }, { name: 'kim', id: 002 } ] } ] } }) console.log(html`<my-store-data app-index="0" user-index="1"></my-store-data>`)
Element template
export default function MyStoreData({ html, state }) { const { attrs, store } = state const appIndex = attrs['app-index'] const userIndex = attrs['user-index'] const { id='', name='' } = store?.apps?.[appIndex]?.users?.[userIndex] || {} return ` <div> <h1>${name}</h1> <h1>${id}</h1> </div> ` }
The store is used to pass state to all components in the tree.
Slots
Enhance supports the use of slots in your custom element templates.
export default function MyParagraph({ html }) { return html` <p> <slot name="my-text"> My default text </slot> </p> ` }
You can override the default text by adding a slot attribute with a value that matches the slot name you want to replace.
<my-paragraph> <span slot="my-text">Let's have some different text!</span> </my-paragraph>
Unnamed slots
Enhance supports unnamed slots for when you want to create a container element for all non-slotted child nodes.
⚠️ per the spec default content is not supported in slots
export default function MyParagraph({ html }) { return html` <p> <slot>This will not render.</slot> </p> ` }
<my-paragraph> This will render <strong>all</strong> authored children. </my-paragraph>
Transforms
Enhance supports the inclusion of script and style transform functions. You add a function to the array of scriptTransforms and/or styleTransforms and are able to transform the contents however you wish, just return your desired output.
import enhance from 'jsr:@enhance/ssr' const html = enhance({ elements: { 'my-transform-script': MyTransformScript }, scriptTransforms: [ function({ attrs, raw }) { // raw is the raw text from inside the script tag // attrs are the attributes from the script tag return raw + ' yolo' } ], styleTransforms: [ function({ attrs, raw }) { // raw is the raw text from inside the style tag // attrs are the attributes from the style tag const { scope } = attrs return ` /* Scope: ${ scope } */ ${ raw } ` } ] }) function MyTransformScript({ html }) { return html` <style scope="component"> :host { display: block; } </style> <h1>My Transform Script</h1> <script type=module> class MyTransformScript extends HTMLElement { constructor() { super() } } customElements.define('my-transform-script', MyTransformScript) </script> ` } console.log(html`<my-transform-script></my-transform-script>`)
bodyContent
Enhance SSR outputs an entire valid HTML page but you can pass bodyContent: true to get the content of the body element. This can be useful for when you want to isolate output HTML to only the Custom Element you are authoring.
const html = enhance({ bodyContent: true, elements: { 'my-paragraph': MyParagraph, } }) const output = html` <my-paragraph></my-paragraph> `
context
There are times you will need to pass state to nested child custom elements. To avoid the tedium of passing attributes through multiple levels of nested elements Enhance SSR supplies a context object to add state to.
Parent sets context
export default function MyContextParent({ html, state }) { const { attrs, context } = state const { message } = attrs context.message = message return html` <slot></slot> ` }
Child retrieves state from parent supplied context
export default function MyContextChild({ html, state }) { const { context } = state const { message } = context return html` <span>${ message }</span> ` }
Authoring
<my-context-parent message="hmmm"> <div> <span> <my-context-child></my-context-child> </span> </div> </my-context-parent>
instanceID
When rendering custom elements from a single template there are times where you may need to target a specific instance. The instanceID is passed in the state object.
export default function MyInstanceID({ html, state }) { const { instanceID='' } = state return html` <p>${instanceID}</p> ` }
P.S. Enhance works really well with Begin.
