Production build without SSR

[msteller-connyun]

🚀 Feature

Allow production builds without SSR

Motivation

I’v some custom plugins/webpack-loaders which seems to require the window object.
Works fine in dev build, but fails to build for prod thanks to SSR.

I don’t need SSR, a normal SPA is good enough for my purpose.

<BrowserOnly/> is not resolving my issues.

Pitch

Add a new flag to build

build no-ssr.

I don't think it is something we want to support unless there are strong args and many people asking for this.

Docusaurus is focused on content-centric websites and SEO, SSR, Jamstack is important for such sites.

Why is your build failing? BrowserOnly may be not enough, you might also need a lazy require instead of a top-level ES import.

const BrowserOnlyReactJson = (props) => {
  return (
    <BrowserOnly>
      {() => {
        const ReactJson = require('react-json-view').default;
        return <ReactJson {...props} />;
      }}
    </BrowserOnly>
  );
};
