Project Structure

This project is using Qwik with QwikCity. QwikCity is just a extra set of tools on top of Qwik to make it easier to build a full site, including directory-based routing, layouts, and more.

Inside your project, you'll see the following directory structure:

├── public/
│   └── ...
└── src/
    ├── components/
    │   └── ...
    └── routes/
        └── ...

• src/routes: Provides the directory based routing, which can include a hierarchy of layout.tsx layout files, and an index.tsx file as the page. Additionally, index.ts files are endpoints. Please see the routing docs for more info.

• src/components: Recommended directory for components.

• public: Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public directory. Please see the Vite public directory for more info.

Add Integrations and deployment

Use the npm run qwik add command to add additional integrations. Some examples of integrations include: Cloudflare, Netlify or Express server, and the Static Site Generator (SSG).

npm run qwik add # or `yarn qwik add`

Development

Development mode uses Vite's development server. During development, the dev command will server-side render (SSR) the output.

npm start # or `yarn start`

Note: during dev mode, Vite may request a significant number of .js files. This does not represent a Qwik production build.

Preview

The preview command will create a production build of the client modules, a production build of src/entry.preview.tsx, and run a local server. The preview server is only for convenience to locally preview a production build, and it should not be used as a production server.

npm run preview # or `yarn preview`

Production

The production build will generate client and server modules by running both client and server build commands. Additionally, the build command will use Typescript to run a type check on the source code.

npm run build # or `yarn build`

Netlify

This starter site is configured to deploy to Netlify Edge Functions, which means it will be rendered at an edge location near to your users.

Local development

The Netlify CLI can be used to preview a production build locally. To do so: First build your site, then to start a local server, run:

1. Install Netlify CLI globally npm i -g netlify-cli.
2. Build your site with both ssr and static npm run build.
3. Start a local server with npm run serve. In this project, npm run serve uses the netlify dev command to spin up a server that can handle Netlify's Edge Functions locally.
4. Visit http://localhost:8888/ to check out your site.

Edge Functions Declarations

Netlify Edge Functions declarations can be configured to run on specific URL patterns. Each edge function declaration associates one site path pattern with one function to execute on requests that match the path. A single request can execute a chain of edge functions from a series of declarations. A single edge function can be associated with multiple paths across various declarations.

This is useful to determine if a page response should be Server-Side Rendered (SSR) or if the response should use a static-site generated (SSG) index.html file instead.

By default, the Netlify Edge adaptor will generate a .netlify/edge-middleware/manifest.json file, which is used by the Netlify deployment to determine which paths should, and should not, use edge functions.

To override the generated manifest, you can add a declaration to the netlify.toml using the [[edge_functions]] config. For example:

[[edge_functions]]
  path = "/admin"
  function = "auth"

Deployments

You can deploy your site to Netlify either via a Git provider integration or through the Netlify CLI. This starter site includes a netlify.toml file to configure your build for deployment.

Deploying via Git

Once your site has been pushed to your Git provider, you can either link it in the Netlify UI or use the CLI. To link your site to a Git provider from the Netlify CLI, run the command:

netlify link

This sets up continuous deployment for your site's repo. Whenever you push new commits to your repo, Netlify starts the build process..

Deploying manually via the CLI

If you wish to deploy from the CLI rather than using Git, you can use the command:

netlify deploy --build

You must use the --build flag whenever you deploy. This ensures that the Edge Functions that this starter site relies on are generated and available when you deploy your site.

Add --prod flag to deploy to production.
