Alpine.js SSR

Dead simple server-side-rendering for Alpine.js

Alpine.js SSR allows you to server-side-render (SSR) your Alpine components in lightweight and dead-simple way. No need to set-up a Puppeteer-server, just import the module and off you go. After server-side-rendering your components stay fully hydratable and interactive!

Why?

I love the simplicity and power of Alpine.js, but was missing the option of server-side rendering for SEO and robustness. There were no SSR options available for Alpine.js, so I built my own.

How to?

First install the package from npm:

npm install alpinejs-ssr

Import the module and call the compile function:

import {compile} from alpinejs-ssr

const html = `your Alpine.js html`
const data = {"your":"data"}

compile(html, data);

Supported Alpine.js attributes

Supports most attributes that make sense in a server context: x-text, x-html,x-for,:src,:id

Let me know if you're missing any. x-if has not been implemented for SSR, because it would break interactivity on the client-side if the server would remove those blocks.
