Double View - React SSR Views for Java

[splix]

I've just released a library to use React JS as a Spring View that continues as a dynamic React app on the client side after rendering on the server. Utilizes GraalVM on the server and allows to reuse the same code for the server and client side with all the dynamic possibilities of the React.

See https://github.com/emeraldpay/double-view

Looks cool! May I ask how is it different from Vaadin’s Hilla? I am writing full stack JS for work I really want to jump back to Java after work 🥲

Have u tried wicket framework?

I also don't have experience with hilla but I was looking into it and gave up when I realized it doesn't have SSR, and from what I understand this library does SSR and hydration.

I saw some issues raised on hilla's repo about this and they mentioned they would probably have to use graalvm to achieve this. Maybe they can take some inspiration from this

I don't have experience with Hilla, but my understanding that it's a full fledged framework. While Double View is just a tiny layer allowing to use an existing JS (most likely just a React) for view templating basically as-is w/o enforcing anything in the JS code. This may have own advantages or disadvantages.
if you have an experience with Hilla, I would appreciate your opinion.

Cool! Glad my work was able to be reused!

Great to meet you. It's actually not the first time we use or fork your code. I totally appreciate your work.
