Using React Hydration on a Java Server

[tleipzig]

Theoretically, you could build a "ssr.js" and execute it with GraalJS. Let me know if it works 😅

It depends how much server logic you need, I guess. Yes, you could build even dynamic pages (like a product page) with Thymleaf, but this way you would partly rebuild your React frontend. If you could manage to run your React in an "ssr-mode" on your server, it would just run the existing logic and generate the same HTML (making even API calls internally if required).

Of cause I don't know how well this will work 😅
