A quick demo that illustrates how to add SSR to a Preact CLI app
This demo was built with preact-cli, using the default template.
It's powered by an Express server with gzip compression... nothing special there.
Because of how preact-cli produces the build directory, the server must respect static/file requests first. This also means that your build/index.html will always be served on the / request. This isn't a bad thing, it's just something to be aware of!
Important: This server behaves exactly like Preact CLI's prerendering. This means that if you (or your libraries) have references to window or document, you must wrap them in conditional statements or include a shim.
