v1.0 RC - Clown Town

When we released SolidStart Beta it was a celebration of all the libraries and frameworks that inspired us. There have been so many other frameworks exploring this space alongside us. We have learned so much from them. A year and a half later, I'd like to think that in turn we've influenced them as well.

This release is dedicated to all those who have contributed to getting us here. Everyone who tested builds, reported issues, made PRs (even the ones we didn't merge). We wouldn't have made it to this point without all of them. This release is for them so that the next can be for all of you. We've reached a release candidate for 1.0!

We've learned a lot along the way. The name of this release is a throwback to an early moment in the project's history that had a profound and important impact on how we operate. While I don't wish to rehash, I will say it changed the way we looked at our work in open source and challenged each of us to decide what it meant for us publically and personally.

So today with our goals in sight, we lay this one to rest, and thank everyone who has ever contributed to the project. Not everyone who started on this road with us is still with us. That is the life of volunteering and open source. But you have our (and my) thanks:

There are still a few more things to get in line for the 1.0 release. We are still expecting some bugs, and the official SolidJS docs for SolidStart are still under construction. But we are well on our way. I look forward to pushing this across the finish line in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your support and encouragement.

@ryansolid and Solid Core Team

v0.7.0 - Calm Before the Storm

This is a smaller release that doesn't fundamentally change anything you are already doing in Solid Start but it needed to happen since there were some circular dependency issues and I used this as an opportunity to cleanup some of the config. So this release is very much a precursor to us getting to 1.0 RC candidates. If you have been watching the repo the issue count is down to the lowest it has ever been (even after I went issue bankrupt with Beta 1). We've been slowly getting key enhancements in and fixing bugs. There are a couple things outstanding like the ultimate decision on Base Path and some weird cache issues during HMR but the general behavior is coming together nicely.

Changes

FileRoutes have moved

Honestly I should have done this ages ago but we just keep getting weird circular deps issues due to them. Now they are their own export. This means changing your entry point import to:

import { FileRoutes } from "@solidjs/start/router";

But this should address a lot of the weirdness there.

Support for breaking out of nested routes

Sometimes you don't want to nest routes. Now you can represent paths with "." to avoid matching with parents. For example if you had users listing page under "/users" and you wanted the details to be under "/user/:id" but they don't share a layout or data fetching. Now you can name your files.

users.tsx
users.[id].tsx

And they won't try to nest. These can also each be their own nested routes as well by using "." notation on folders. Thanks to Remix V1 router for the inspiration, and Vinxi for making this implementable in about 30 seconds.

UPDATE: The above API was replaced with a simpler mechanism we already have. You can use (name) to differentiate paths. The text between the paranthesis is not included on the path but it prevents nested matching.

users(list).tsx
users/
  - [id].tsx

getServerFunctionMeta

This is a specific helper but it is useful sometimes to get the underlying information about your running server function. You can do that now by calling this method. So far it only returns an id but it can help give you a stable reference across different environments this way. Thanks @katywings for making this happen.

import { getServerFunctionMeta } from "@solidjs/start/server";
 
// or some in-memory db
const appCache: any = globalThis;
 
const counter = async () => {
  "use server";
  const { id } = getServerFunctionMeta()!;
  const key = `counter_${id}`;
  appCache[key] = appCache[key] ?? 0;
  appCache[key]++;
 
  return appCache[key] as number;
};

Dropped Direct Interop with Solid's Request Event and H3

This is mostly unnecessary with our response wrapper and ALS. And was causing extra complication that was unnecessary. If you want to use Vinxi HTTP helpers or H3 utilities directly just use the .nativeEvent property on our Request Event.

Conclusion

There are another half a dozen smaller changes so see the changelog for more details. But things are getting closer. Thank you everyone who is participating in the beta and reporting issues. We appreciate your patience and look forward to your continued participation.

v0.6.0 - Take Flight

Listening carefully to the feedback and reflecting on the second month of beta 2 we have prepared this release which improves on a lot of the usability around Start itself. This is less about features and more about stabilization but I'm excited that one of the coolest features we've showed off in a while was developed in the process: Single Flight Mutations.

Single Flight Mutations

This feature is really a combined Start + Solid Router feature but it showcases off the power of server function protocol. Inspired by React Server Component's ability to send back the next page in the same request with their server actions, we have added the ability to instead send back the data for the next page(or refresh of the same page's data). And not just send it back in a blocking way but to stream it back as it is available.

So you can picture the classic listing page + details page setup. You can in an action update a details page and have it redirect back to the listings page. We can now do that in one request. The item will be saved and return a redirect, at which point it starts sending back the request however the body will contain the data for the next page streamed as it completes. Suspense will allow the browser to start redirecting before all the data has returned and each cache function resolve as its data comes in.

Try the Notes and TodoMVC examples to see this in action.

The best part is this requires no new API. No required code change on your part. Can still use all the features like optimistic updates etc... And it supports granular revalidation. While by default we will revalidate all the data on the next page, you can still use our revalidate options in our router helpers (reload, redirect, json) select only certain cache keys and we will honor that. We diff the knowledge of which cache keys are already available on the page so that while we won't fetch any data that isn't in the keys from existing cache, we will still fetch new data for the new page sections (if it is a redirect).

This works with SSR on or off so it is available to any project that supports Server functions.

Vite 5

v0.6.0 adds support for Vite 5. I admit this took us a while but we were working on a whole new build system with Vinxi. @nksaraf has done amazing work here and continues to push the envelope. Also thanks to @birkskyum for getting this rolling and testing the integration until it was ready to go.

We look forward to an even quicker dev experience and all the other goodies that come with the update.

vite.config -> app.config

A lot of people expressed confusion over the difference in options and settings and we decided you were right. In so we have stopped using vite.config.ts and instead opt for an app.config.ts. We have also updated the settings to be clearer. SolidStart's own settings are now top level and you will find the vite settings under a vite property. This allows more flexibility as Vite can be configured now per Vinxi router.

import { defineConfig } from "@solidjs/start/config";

export default defineConfig({
  ssr: false,
  server: {
    preset: "netlify"
  },
  vite(options) {
    if (options.router === "server") ....
    return { plugins: [] }
  }
});

We've added the ability to disable the dev overlay in dev so you can see the errors the way your users would in prod. We've also moved the ssr mode settings from the config to the runtime to handle more dynamic needs.

Handler Config as a Function

We've expanded the capability of handler config so that we can do my dynamic things at runtime. Things like switch between render modes. This way we can turn off streaming for bots etc.. Or applying a nonce based on the middleware configuration.

import { createHandler, StartServer } from "@solidjs/start/server";

export default createHandler(() => (
  <StartServer document={/*...*/} />
), (event) => {
  return { nonce: event.locals.nonce, mode: event.locals.isBot ? "async" : "stream"}
};

A Long and Steady Road

We've been at this for a while but things are consolidating nicely. We are now feature complete for SolidStart 1.0 so it is time to fix bugs and get docs going. If we based on the feedback of these recent changes I hope to have an RC out in the coming weeks. Thank you all for your patience and your support.

Best,
@ryansolid

v0.5.0 - Async Local Storage ...Everywhere

This release is a bunch of organizational shifts from our learnings after running Solid Start Beta 2 for the first month (see: #1279). These are all minor changes but we hope they will smooth out the dev experience significantly. This release is largely possible due to the heroic efforts of @nksaraf and the multitudes of updates/fixes @lxsmnsyc has been making behind the scenes.

RequestEvent improvements

Main update is we've changed how we look at the main event object. Before we were mashing everything on top of H3 which wasn't always the best. We couldn't just adopt H3's Event because we have conventions in the Solid ecosystem and it was a bit awkward trying to figure out how to best interact with both systems in place.

Main change here is that instead of merging, the underlying H3Event is now available at event.nativeEvent. But having to pump that through helpers all the time would be a bit clunky so we have a couple new mechanism to make it easier to use.

Stubbing out the Response

If you are doing simple operations like updating the headers or status of the response you can do that now directly off our event the same way you can with request:

import { getRequestEvent } from "solid-js/web";

const event = getRequestEvent();
console.log(event.request.url);

event.response.headers.set("x-foo", "bar");
console.log(event.response.status);
event.response.status = 201;

This response object proxies the H3 methods which has the nice benefit of being able to use it easier in isomorphic settings without worrying about imports and bundling. Components like <HttpStatus> and <HttpHeader> are built using this primitive.

Async Local Storage Everywhere

HTTP helpers are now available at vinxi/http. Previously we were re-exporting these but we don't want to own this piece. Currently there is a light wrapper around H3 done here. But it means that the provided helpers are usable now directly without passing the H3Event in.

import { useSession } from "vinxi/http";

async function someServerFunction() {
  "use server";
  const session = await useSession({ password: process.env.SESSION_SECRET});
  doSomethingWith(session.data.userId);
}

You can still pass in the H3Event if you want as the first argument, and these Vinxi wrappers also support passing in Solid's RequestEvent as well but between these 2 APIs you probably won't be interfacing with the H3Event much directly in application code.

Typing Locals

SolidStart uses event.locals to pass around local context to be used as you see fit. Before this was just a record but now you can add specific types to it as well:

declare module "@solidjs/start/server" {
  interface RequestEventLocals {
    myNumber: number;
    someString: string;
  }
}

Server Function Improvements

HTTP-Cacheable Server Functions

Technically this came out in 0.4.11 but will announce it here. Solid Start now supports GET server functions. This is important because it means they can be cached with HTTP cache. And that the arguments to the function will be serialized into the URL.

// example with streaming promise and a 60 second cache life

import { json } from "@solidjs/router";
import { GET } from "@solidjs/start";

const hello = GET(async (name: string) => {
  "use server";
  return json(
    { hello: new Promise<string>(r => setTimeout(() => r(name), 1000)) },
    { headers: { "cache-control": "max-age=60" } }
  );
});

Note that cache from @solidjs/router will automatically opt into GET.

Return Responses as well as throw them

There were several comments about ergonomic issues of only supporting throwing of Response objects in server functions. Mostly it was about TypeScript. However, now that we need to support json helper for adding headers for GET instead of the typical redirect or reload cases of Actions we also support returning Responses.

@solidjs/router's redirect, reload, and json helpers will all return responses but from a type perspective will not impact your server function. For instance json above will see that hello function returns a Promise<{ hello: Promise<string> }>. And redirect and reload return never meaning getUser below can only ever return Promise<User>.

export async function getUser() {
  const session = await getSession();
  const userId = session.data.userId;
  if (userId === undefined) return redirect("/login");

  try {
    const user: User = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: userId } });
    
    // throwing here could have been a bit awkward.
    if (!user) return redirect("/login");
    return user;
  } catch {
    // do stuff
    throw redirect("/login");
  }
}

API Routes Refined

A decent amount of feedback in Beta 2 has been around the FS routing system with API routes. One of the consequences of being Router agnostic is that the API routes needed to be processed separately. In our case it means API routes are always matched before Page routes. With the desire to be able to break them out in the future to be deployable in different places this decision makes a lot of sense. But we had a lot of duplication between router logic and API routes, that didn't really optimize for them.

In 0.5.0 API route logic has been pulled out and they are now being matched and processed by unjs radix3. While ultimately we decided to still have them in the same folder structure for maximum flexibility and visibility, we'd recommend keeping them separate on paths to make it more clear. While you can technically have a GET method and a default export for a Page component at the same URL if you really want to, you would have to use Accept headers to early return from the API route without a value. And know it will go through the API route first and then Page route.

Other updates

Moved createHandler back into @solidjs/start/server and middleware to @solidjs/start/middleware

While it was only a recent change to move createHandler out it was not the right decision. Circular bundling issues are better resolved by moving the server utilities to a different package (vinxi/http) and having middleware in its own entry. So you entry-server.tsx returns to:

import { createHandler, StartServer } from "@solidjs/start/server";

export default createHandler(() => (
  <StartServer
    document={({ assets, children, scripts }) => (
      <html lang="en">
        <head>
          <meta charset="utf-8" />
          <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
          <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
          {assets}
        </head>
        <body>
          <div id="app">{children}</div>
          {scripts}
        </body>
      </html>
    )}
  />
));

And your middleware.ts might look like:

import { createMiddleware } from "@solidjs/start/middleware";

export default createMiddleware({
  onRequest: [
    event => {
      console.log("REQUEST", event.request.url);
    }
  ]
});

Replacing Solid Start's CLI

create-solid in this repo hasn't built properly for almost 8 months now and was slowly falling apart. I was manually editing the bin file on my one computer with a working build. I have removed it from the repo. You can continue to use the currnet version until the new version is published under the same npm init solid command. We will be replacing it with https://github.com/solidjs-community/solid-cli built by our community in Rust. It's faster, better organized, and more featured thanks to the amazing work of @Tommypop2 and @dev-rb. So it will be where CLI work will continue to improve instead of in this repo.

Support for Solid's renderToString

Since the release of Beta 2 we have been focusing on streaming as the default. But you could always opt into wait for all data loading with the ssr: "async". With 0.5.x we have also added back support for ssr: "sync" which uses renderToString. This mode synchronously renders on the server until it hits a Suspense boundary and then fetches and renders the rest in the browser. While generally less performant than streaming, it may be a good option for those just moving to SSR.

Continuing towards 1.0

We think these quality of life improvements will made development a lot more streamlined and help you all better build the applications you are looking to make. I'm excited to work through the next couple features as approach RC of 1.0.

@ryansolid

v0.4.0 - Beta 2

It's been a long year and we couldn't be more thrilled to see all the amazing projects built on SolidStart. Things like https://post.news being built on Start among others. We've had incredible support from companies and contributors, including the Chrome team's help in our research into performance increasing technology. And we were able show the world new technologies like Server Functions that were able to be adopted by other frameworks like Qwik and Next.js.

However, we've learned a lot in this year, both in terms of our technology approach and the efforts in maintaining a metaframework. What we had done worked, but it didn't work well and it became apparent early in the year we needed to do something about it. And that itself was a journey into exploring different technologies. In the end we settled on Nitro to provide our server layer for Start. Together with more effectively breaking apart responsibilities into existing ecosystem libraries we were able to reduce the maintenance of SolidStart considerably dropping the lines of code from over 10k to about 1400 across 32 files instead of the original 150.

My talk at Vite conference this year highlights the thinking that went into this.

The culmination of this work is this new beta, we are calling Beta 2. It is a reset in a sense. A new beta that better delivers on what we set out to do in the first place. It is a smarter beta, one that better isolates change and will allow us to evolve the framework with the technology. Technology we have today and technology we'll discover tomorrow. That means that the path to version 1.0 will be much shorter because we don't have to worry about being way ahead of the curve. We'll be able to release features as they are ready without breaking things.

I want to give a big thanks to @nksaraf, @lxsmnsyc, and everyone involved in the RFC process and provided feedback in the discord of the past few months. Without you things wouldn't be where they are today. Alright lets talk about the features.

1. Rebase to Nitro's adapters and Vinxi

As mentioned we are now based on Nitro, the same engine that powers Nuxt and Analog. This means we can leverage the same platforms and work together to improve features across the ecosystem. It takes a lot of effort to build for each platform so having this shared base is incredibly important. You can access your Nitro settings under the start.server settings in your vite config.

import { defineConfig } from "@solidjs/start/config";

export default defineConfig({
  start: {
    server: {
      /* NITRO SETTINGS */
    }
  }
});

This means full access to pre-rendering in any project including automated link crawling, dozens of built-in presets for deployment, the full power of H3 a universal HTTP server, and cozy integration with the rest of the unjs ecosystem.

We are using Vinxi as well as a bundler layer. Vinxi is a "Bun App" inspired meta-bundler that sits on top of Vite and wires together assets, server functions, file system routing as a generic framework agnostic layer. The combination of these 2 libraries makes up the majority of the functionality of SolidStart now.

2. Router/Metadata Agnostic

A big part of the goal here is to let any existing Solid library work with Solid Start, including routers. In so we, have removed @solidjs/router and @solidjs/meta as being a core dependency and instead made the FileSystem routing consumable by any router. We've adapted the application entry point in such a way that you can insert your Providers as you wish.

// app.tsx
import { Router } from "@solidjs/router";
import { FileRoutes } from "@solidjs/start"; // only thing imported from SolidStart
import { Suspense } from "solid-js";
import "./app.css";
import Nav from "./components/nav";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Router
      root={props => (
        <>
          <Nav />
          <Suspense fallback={<div class="news-list-nav">Loading...</div>}>
            {props.children}
          </Suspense>
        </>
      )}
    >
      <FileRoutes />
    </Router>
  );
}

And the "page" entries support a route config that you can match to any router you wish.

// whatever route props you want send to your router
export const route = {
  load({ params }) {
    void getUser(params.id);
  }
} satisfies RouteDefinition;

export default function PageComponent(props: RouteSectionProps) { }

It feels a lot like create-react-app or create-vite-app except it works with SSR and deployment out of the box.

3. "use server" Server Functions

async function callMeAnywhere(id: number) {
  "use server";
  const res = await db.findSomething({ where: { id } });
  return res.data;
}

server$ was a pretty powerful convention for server functions. We were able to type the function and even pass in config options. However, with Solid Beta 2 we pick up the React convention and move to "use server";. This has other advantages of allowing for module level scope, makes it more visually clear that a server function is different, and it is consistent with React ecosystem which will make it easier for us to leverage work from other bundlers. In a way this is similar to our choice to use JSX with Solid. There are some key differences mind you.

• Our server functions are just functions, no more or less. Server actions are taking server functions and using them with actions from Solid Router. actions are a navigation consideration that are independent of whether the navigation happens in the browser or the server.

• Our server functions are RPC in the browser but are just plain function calls on the server. They can be called on the server or on the client as needed.

• Our server functions exist independent of the concept of Server Components. They can be declared anywhere. They do not do closure extraction so you can only close over variables at a module scope. They will not automatically grab server code and serialize it into the client.

The benefit of this approach is these server functions will work with any existing promise library whether built in primitives like createResource or 3rd party like createQuery from Tanstack Query.

Our server functions also got a serious shot in the arm now using Solid's serializer, Seroval, to handle the encoding letting us stream back a variety of data formats, sending promises or even async iterators over the wire.

4. Client Rendered SPAs are still very real

We are serious about supporting existing applications. Sometimes the move to server rendering isn't easy. Luckily you can just toggle ssr: false in your config. But its more than that. Just because you have a client rendered SPA doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to benefit from easy APIs with Server Functions. Client Rendered only apps can still use server functions.

When you make the decision to do server rendering, beyond just flicking the switch we provide a clientOnly wrapper that allows you to define code that can't run on the server to be lazily loaded in the client and run after hydration. Things like jQuery plugins or big browser only data-grids now can now work seamlessly with SSR.

import { clientOnly } from "@solidjs/start"

const BigDataGrid = clientOnly(() => import("../BigDataGrid"));

function IsomorphicComp() {
  return <BigDataGrid />
}

5. Everything Else

Honestly, there are a bunch of other new features that come with this release, but that doesn't belong here but in their respective libraries. But that's the point. @solidjs/router now brings createAsync, cache and action data APIs, along with link prefetching. We feel this is a drastic improvement over the named createRouteData and createServerData$ APIs with much better TypeScript support. @solidjs/meta now offers zero configuration SSR head injection. But neither is owned by SolidStart. You can continue use the old version of the @solidjs/router with its data function paradigm with the new SolidStart or upgrade to the latest and it doesn't matter.

What you have here are the primitives you need from a metaframework, FileSystem Routing, Advanced Bundling for things like Server Functions/Islands, and a universal Server Runtime and deployment system.

Note: Some experimental features like Islands Routing are not in this Beta as they haven't made their way to their new home yet. And Islands is still experimental. But now that we have the right foundations these should be additive as they become available.

The Road to 1.0

I apologize it took so long to get here. But we're very happy with this separation of responsibility. Separating the opinionated stuff from the more stable and build a Solid foundation for building applications with Solid in the future. This approach took a while to work out but it should also significantly expedite our move to 1.0.

There are pieces to iron out, in terms of TypeScript and testing, bugs to stomp out on deploy and bundling, and documentation to be written but SolidStart has gone from an ambitious project to a project that can be used to build ambitious projects. We thought we were in a good place a year ago, but only now have we really accomplished what we set out to do, create a metaframework for those of us who don't like metaframeworks.

Thanks for coming on this journey with us.

0.3.1 - Grand Unifying Theory

This release has a ton of code changes that had been orphaned on an experimental branch. Mostly around Islands router. Biggest update for those is those feature options are under experimental option now, and Islands use use client. This may not be the final API but it allows us to take the next steps.

// new config
import solid from "solid-start/vite";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    solid({
      experimental: { islands: true, islandsRouter: true },
    })
  ]
});

We have updated Docs, and added Movies and Notes apps. These only really work under this Islands mode and will serve as a basis as we fill in the features as we work on the R&D that is being funding by the Chrome team.

Now that codebase is completely merged, we can resume our rebase effort with all the code in place. So to be clear this release is still the same SolidStart and is not built on another system.

We have also changed the base version of SolidStart to be Node 18. This simplifies the need for polyfills and 16 is end of life next month anyway.
