kbrw/reaxt

This system is an Elixir library that facilitates server-side rendering of React applications using Node.js. It manages the build and serving of JavaScript assets via Webpack, supporting both server-side rendering and client-side hydration. The architecture includes infrastructure for hot-reloading and parallel compilation to improve development workflow and performance.

The legacy JavaScript-based React server-side rendering implementation and its associated Webpack development server have been removed from the codebase. This eliminates the \react\_server.js\ module that handled server-side rendering via \node\_erlastic\ and the \webpack\_react\_server.js\ configuration that previously served assets on localhost:8080, indicating a shift away from this specific server-rendering architecture.

Reaxt now supports client-side rendering via a new \client\_entry\_addition.js\ that uses \ReactDOM.hydrate\ to attach interactivity to server-rendered HTML, allowing seamless transitions from server to client. To improve build performance, the system now compiles client and server bundles in parallel using separate Webpack watchers (\webpack\_server\_client.js\ and \webpack\_server\_server.js\) that communicate with the Erlang node via \node\_erlastic\. Additionally, a global configuration mechanism (\config.js\) allows runtime customization of Reaxt behavior, and the client-side build process now provides desktop notifications for compilation status and errors.

The legacy config/config.exs file has been removed from the project. This file previously contained boilerplate configuration and comments related to the deprecated Mix.Config module and environment-based configuration imports. Its removal indicates a shift away from this older configuration pattern, likely towards a more modern or simplified setup handled elsewhere in the application.

The library now supports chunked server-side rendering via \Reaxt.render\_result/4\ and \Reaxt.render!/4\, which route requests to specific pools (e.g., \:react\_server\_pool\) instead of a single global \:react\ pool. This change is accompanied by a new hot-reload architecture: the application supervisor now conditionally starts \WebPack.Events\, \WebPack.EventManager\, and \WebPack.Compiler\ processes when the \:hot\ config is enabled, allowing the server to wait for Webpack compilation and restart pools on client changes. A new \WebPack.Plug.Static\ handles static file serving with compilation-waiting logic and exposes \/webpack/events\ for Server-Sent Events. Additionally, the \ReaxtError\ exception now captures and parses JavaScript stack traces for better debugging, and the \start\_link\ function now passes a global configuration object to the Node.js server process.

The static JavaScript files in priv/static have been regenerated to reflect a change in the webpack public path from the previous default to /webpack/static. This update also includes the client-side code and hot reloading logic, enabling the application to serve these assets from the new path and support live updates during development.

priv/static · medium confidence

This release upgrades the project to require Elixir \~\> 1.12 and significantly updates core dependencies: exos is bumped from 0.0.1 to \~\> 2.0, poolboy from 1.4.2 to \~\> 1.5, and new dependencies plug (\~\> 1.15) and poison (\~\> 6.0) are added. The JavaScript side replaces the old react\_server package with a new commonjs\_reaxt package, upgrading React and React-DOM from 0.12.2 to 16.12.0, and webpack from 1.4.13 to ^5.1.3, while also updating node\_erlastic to the @kbrw scope. These changes align the library with modern Elixir and React ecosystems.
