Help setting up vite-plugin-ssr on existing repo using Solid Start and Electron

[nikitavoloboev]

I would love to use vite-plugin-ssr on my project, code here:

https://github.com/learn-anything/learn-anything

The issue I have and reason for wanting vite-plugin-ssr is that I currently have 2 packages, one with Solid Start code here.

But I also have a separate solid website here that does not use Solid Start but instead exposes index.html file and is built from default vite solid template. Electron app renderer process needs index.html which Solid Start can't provide (entry-client.tsx and entry-server.tsx are used instead).

Can vite-plugin-ssr help solve this problem of having one solid setup like in solid start that exposes index.html file?

Thank you.

I am trying to make it work but there was no solid example in docs.

Will try replicate Inlang setup.

See https://vite-plugin-ssr.com/solid and https://github.com/magne4000/vike-solid/tree/main/vike-solid/renderer.

Electron app renderer process needs index.html

If you pre-render your pages then you'll get .html files at dist/client/.

Keep us updated how your Electron integration is going and let me know if you believe there is a blocker on vite-pugin-ssr's side.

@nikitavoloboev any update to use Vike (previously vite-plugin-ssr) + Solid + Electron or if there is a framework to use/help?

With Next.js (React) + Electron there is nextron.
