Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@greenwood/plugin-renderer-lit

Overview

A Greenwood plugin for using Lit's SSR capabilities as a custom server-side renderer instead of Greenwood's default renderer (WCC). This plugin also gives the ability to statically render entire pages and layouts to output completely static sites. For more information and complete docs on Greenwood, please visit our website.

This package assumes you already have @greenwood/cli installed.

Prerequisite

This packages depends on the Lit package as a peerDependency. This means you must have Lit already installed in your project. You can install anything following the 3.x release line.

# npm
$ npm -i lit

# yarn
$ yarn add lit

# pnpm
$ pnpm add lit

Installation

You can use your favorite JavaScript package manager to install this package.

# npm
$ npm i -D @greenwood/plugin-renderer-lit

# yarn
$ yarn add @greenwood/plugin-renderer-lit --dev

# pnpm
$ pnpm add -D @greenwood/plugin-renderer-lit

Caveats

  1. Please familiarize yourself with some of the caveats called out in the Lit docs, like:
  2. Lit only supports templates on the server side for HTML generated content, thus Greenwood's getBody API must be used. We would love for server only components to be a thing though!
  3. Lit does not support CSSStyleSheet (aka CSS Modules) in their SSR DOM shim.
  4. Full hydration support is not available yet. See this Greenwood issue to follow along with when it will land.

See this repo for a full demo of isomorphic Lit SSR with SSR pages and API routes deployed to Vercel serverless functions.

Usage

Add this plugin to your greenwood.config.js:

import { greenwoodPluginRendererLit } from '@greenwood/plugin-renderer-lit';

export default {
  // ...

  plugins: [
    greenwoodPluginRendererLit()
  ]
}

Now, you can author SSR pages using Lit templates and components using Greenwood's getBody API. The below is an example of generating a template of LitElement based <app-card> web components.

// src/pages/products.js
import { html } from 'lit';
import '../components/card.js';

export async function getBody() {
  const products = await getProducts();

  return html`
    ${
      products.map((product, idx) => {
        const { title, thumbnail } = product;

        return html`
          <app-card
            title="${idx + 1}) ${title}"
            thumbnail="${thumbnail}"
          ></app-card>
        `;
      })
    }
  `;
}

Options

Isolation Mode

By default, this plugin sets isolation mode to true for all SSR pages. If you want to override this, just export an isolation const.

// src/pages/products.js
export const isolation = false;

See the isolation configuration docs for more information.

Hydration

In order for server-rendered components to become interactive on the client side, Lit's client-side hydration script must be included on the page. This setting is true by default, but if you want to turn it off, you can export the hydration option from your page with a value of false.

// src/pages/products.js
export const hydration = false; // disable Lit hydration scripts for this page

Prerender

The plugin provides a setting that can be used to override Greenwood's default prerender implementation which uses WCC, to use Lit instead.

import { greenwoodPluginRendererLit } from '@greenwood/plugin-renderer-lit';

export default {
  // ...

  plugins: [
    greenwoodPluginRendererLit({
      prerender: true
    })
  ]
}

Keep in mind you will need to make sure your Lit Web Components are isomorphic and properly leveraging LitElement's lifecycles and browser / Node APIs accordingly for maximum compatibility and portability.
