FAQ
Everything you need to know about jeasx
- Is there something like a context object similar to React?
Yes, Jeasx provides a context object via
this
which gets automagically propagated to sub-components. You can populate the context in an endpoint (e.g., a guard):export default function RootGuard({ request, reply }) { this.date = new Date(); }
Later, you can access the context in any sub-component which gets called via an endpoint:
export default function CurrentDate() { return <p>The current date is {this.date.toISOString()}</p>; }
Have a look at the demo to see how things work using the context as them provider.
- Can I post-process the resulting HTML?
If you want to prettify the HTML output, you can wire up a response handler in any endpoint (e.g. a guard). The response handler takes the resulting payload as a parameter and returns the modified payload.
import * as prettier from "prettier"; ... export default function RootGuard({ request, reply }) { this.response = async (payload) => { return typeof payload === "string" && String(reply.getHeader("content-type")).startsWith("text/html") ? await prettier.format(payload, { parser: "html" }) : payload; }; }
- Is there a way to set the document title in a sub-component (aka Helmet)?
Yes, have a look at the head example which demonstrates how easily this can be achieved with a guard.
- Is it possible to use SASS/SCSS?
Certainly! Please check out the GitHub repository of this website to see how things should be wired.
- How to use a Browsersync with Jeasx?
If you want to reload CSS automagically, start Browsersync in proxy-mode in a second terminal:
npx -y browser-sync start -w -f "dist/**/index.css" -p localhost:3000
- What are the hosting options for a jeasx project?
Jeasx provides two different hosting modes tailored to meet your specific needs: traditional hosting on a node server or a serverless approach. For effortless node-based hosting, I highly recommend a platform like Railway, which seamlessly operates jeasx without the need for additional configurations. If you prefer a serverless approach, Vercel is the perfect fit, where jeasx provides the necessary configurations out of the box.
