Generate .html files from react-dom-html templates
Introduction
Generate .html
files for serving client application bundles, sending emails or any other task that requires static Html pages to be generated.
react-dom-html eliminates the need for any html
boilerplate, it uses a sensible default structure that you can
completely customize for your needs without needing to use strings.
react-dom-html-cli
generates .html
files using react-dom-html templates.
Install
// npm
npm install --save-dev react-dom-html-cli
// yarn
yarn add react-dom-html-cli -D
The easiest way to run the executable is add a script
to package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"generateHtml":
"react-dom-html generateHtml templates/inputTemplate.js output/generated.html"
}
}
Run the script to generate html:
# npm
npm run generateHtml
# yarn
yarn run generateHtml
Usage
- Define a html template
IMPORTANT: The template
must be the default export from the file.
// htmlTemplate.js
import React from "react";
// You can use react components with the template
// The `<app />` element is REQUIRED, it represents the application container
// That is where your application will be rendered
export default {
includeDocType: true,
html: (
<html>
<head>
<meta charSet="utf-8" />
<title>My Application</title>
</head>
<body>
<app>
<div>Loading...</div>
</app>
<script src="/public/scripts/appBundle.js" />
</body>
</html>
),
appContainerTagName: "span"
};
You need to have .babelrc
configured for React (or JSX) before running the cli template generator
See demo/.babelrc
for an example.
- Run the cli executable
react-dom-html generateHtml htmlTemplate.js generated.html
- Your
html
file is now generated!
Template API
The template accepts all options from react-dom-html, you can read more about template options there.
An additional option is supported:
includeDocType
: set totrue
to include the HTML 5 doc type, or a string for a custom doc type
Also, the <app />
element is permitted to have children when using the cli.
type templateOptions = {
includeDocType?: boolean | string,
html: ?Element<"html">,
appContainerTagName: ?string
};
Minimal template example
The following template is the minimum elements required to correctly render:
- The
<app />
element is required, and must be a child of<body>
// htmlTemplate.js
import React from "react";
export default {
includeDocType: true,
html: (
<html>
<body>
<app />
</body>
</html>
)
};
