Bun

1. Yarn: yarn add @trellisorg/ngx-hono-ssr hono

3. Bun: bun install @trellisorg/ngx-hono-ssr hono

Setup

In your Angular applications server.ts file (or whatever is configured in the ssr.entry property in your (angular|project).json file) update it to use the @trellisorg/ngx-hono-ssr package like so:

Node

import { serve } from '@trellisorg/ngx-hono-ssr/node';
// Import the `bootstrap` function that is exported from typically the `main.server.ts` file.
import bootstrap from './src/main.server';

const PORT = 4000;

serve({ bootstrap, port: PORT });

console.log(`Node server listening at: http://localhost:${PORT}`);

The serve function handles all assets discovering and static asset serving but provides the ability to overload any property of the serveStatic middleware from @hono/node-server as well as the properties passed to the @angular/ssr CommonEngine responsible for the server side rendering process.

Once this is done run your build process and serve the application.

Note: You cannot use the serve target of your application and use the Angular dev server for this because Angular does not use your server.ts during development, instead it uses an internal Vite Dev Server.

Bun

import { serve } from '@trellisorg/ngx-hono-ssr/bun';
// Import the `bootstrap` function that is exported from typically the `main.server.ts` file.
import bootstrap from './src/main.server';

const { app } = serve({ bootstrap });

export default {
    fetch: app.fetch,
    port: 4000,
};

Similarly to the Node version above, the serve function takes the same options and configurations to customize the initialization of the static asset middleware and Angular CommonEngine

Note: If serving using bun you must make sure your application is initialized in zoneless mode by providing the ɵprovideZonelessChangeDetection() function in your applications config as zone.js conflicts with Bun and will cause your application to not render.

Example

See apps/hono-ssr-demo for a full example of this working. Run either:

1. npx nx build-node hono-ssr-demo && node dist/apps/hono-ssr-demo/server/server/mjs
2. npx nx build-bun hono-ssr-demo && bun run dist/apps/hono-ssr-demo/server/server/mjs

And then go to http://localhost:4000
