SvelteKit SSR Toggle Demo

A simple demonstration of toggleable Server-Side Rendering (SSR) in a SvelteKit-style application built on Val Town.

Features

  • Toggleable SSR: Switch between Server-Side Rendering and Single Page Application modes
  • Real-time Mode Display: See which rendering mode is currently active
  • Client-side Updates: Test client-side reactivity in both modes
  • Responsive Design: Built with Tailwind CSS for a clean, modern interface

How It Works

SSR Mode

  • Content is rendered on the server
  • Initial HTML includes pre-rendered content
  • Better for SEO and initial page load performance
  • Server provides initial data via window.__INITIAL_DATA__

SPA Mode

  • Content is rendered entirely on the client
  • Faster subsequent navigation
  • More app-like user experience
  • Client handles all rendering after initial page load

Usage

  1. Visit the application
  2. Click "Switch to SPA/SSR" to toggle between modes
  3. Use "Update Client Data" to test client-side reactivity
  4. Notice the differences in rendering behavior

Technical Implementation

  • Backend: Hono server with Deno runtime
  • Frontend: Svelte components with TypeScript
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS via CDN
  • State Management: Svelte reactive stores
  • API: RESTful endpoint for mode toggling
