Any thoughts on hydrating data with SSR?

Hi:

Any thoughts on hydrating data when creating an SSR rendering. I'll love to have an express server generating on server side the complete view (Maybe i'll use puppeteer - https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer). Where should i hydrate the data? from my simple understading i believe something like this could work:

Moon.use({
    data: Moon.data.driver(window.ssr.moon.data || 1)
});

Moon.run(({ data }) => {
    console.log(data); // => 1
    return {};
});

Something like that would work, but Moon doesn't currently support hydration and the view driver expects the root element to be empty. If hydration were to be added, would you prefer it being added before or after v1 stable is released?

I love the work you have been doing on the framework. Do you have a roadmap and a release date for the framework?. I'll love to have a view driver with hydrated data but is up to you to figure out the correct time for this implementation. I'll try to give opinions on missing features and maybe i could help a little bit, i'm just starting to grasp a lot of the functional programming concepts.

The feature could be something like:

Thank you! I'm not sure yet as it would require another driver that renders views to strings. Any feedback or help is greatly appreciated — I'd recommend you join the Slack if you haven't already. I can answer any questions or help with contributing if you'd like :)
