HatTip entry

The main server-side entry point of a Rakkas application is the src/entry-hattip.js (or .ts, .jsx, .tsx) file. Rakkas has a default implementation, so you don't have to provide one. But it exposes advanced customization features that you might find useful. It should export a default function which is a HatTip handler.

One important use case is injecting HatTip middleware into your application. Currently available middlewares are:

• @hattip/cookie: Cookie handling middleware
• @hattip/cors: CORS middleware
• @hattip/graphql: GraphQL middleware

import { createRequestHandler } from "rakkasjs";
import { cookie } from "@hattip/cookie";

export default createRequestHandler({
	middleware: {
		// HatTip middleware to be injected
		// before the page routes handler.
		beforePages: [cookie()],
		// HatTip middleware to be injected
		// after the page routes handler but
		// before the API routes handler
		beforeApiRoutes: [],
		// HatTip middleware to be injected
		// after the API routes handler but
		// before the 404 handler
		beforeNotFound: [],
	},

	createPageHooks(requestContext) {
		return {
			emitBeforeSsrChunk() {
				// Return a string to emit into React's
				// SSR stream just before React emits a
				// chunk of the page.
				return "";
			},

			emitToDocumentHead() {
				// Return a string to emit some HTML into the
				// document's head.
				return "";
			},

			extendPageContext(pageContext) {
				// Add properties to the page context,
				// especially to pageContext.locals.
				// Extensions added here will only be
				// available on the server-side.
			},

			wrapApp(app) {
				// Wrap the Rakkas application in some provider
				// component (only on the server).
				return <SomeProvider>{app}</SomeProvider>;
			},

			wrapSsrStream(stream) {
				const { readable, writable } = new TransformStream({
					transform(chunk, controller) {
						// You can transform the chunks of the
						// React SSR stream here.
						controller.enqueue(chunk);
					},
				});

				stream.pipeThrough(writable);

				return readable;
			},
		};
	},
});
