Complete server-side rendering example with React Helmet

Closed Administrator requested to merge github/fork/cereallarceny/ssr into master

Created by: cereallarceny

I've added a section in the README (both the user guide and the root) to allow for server-side rendering to be done in an unobtrusive manner. It assumes you're using a few technologies (which you may certainly sub out for others):

  • React Helmet
  • React Router v4
  • Redux and Thunk (totally optional)

The tutorial is available here. The demo repository is available here.

Please note that this demo is done entirely without running eject, nor does it require that you change anything about your create-react-app application. The only known restrictions are as follows:

  1. No code splitting.
  2. You can’t use document or window in your React application except in componentDidMount and componentWillUnmount. This is because servers don’t have access to the DOM.

I'm 100% flexible on the wording. What I put may not be sufficient in detail. Please let me know and I'll happily amend the commit.
