In the rapidly evolving world of web development, optimizing the rendering process can significantly enhance user experience. One innovative solution that has emerged is the React Prerendered Component, which emphasizes the power of partial hydration and component-level caching. This blog post will walk you through how to effectively implement this component in your projects.
Understanding the Concept
Think of a React application like a restaurant kitchen. When customers (users) enter, they expect a delicious meal (content) to be served promptly. However, cooking everything right away can lead to long wait times. Instead of making the entire meal from scratch, chefs can prepare some dishes (render HTML) in advance, allowing them to serve customers faster as they can quickly garnish the already prepared plates when needed (hydrate). The React Prerendered Component takes this approach, only using pre-rendered HTML until JavaScript is fully ready to take over and enhance the experience.
How to Use React Prerendered Component
Follow these simple steps to integrate the React Prerendered Component into your application:
- Step 1: Setup Your Environment
- Render the necessary data on the server.
- Use the
thisIsServerfunction to set the environment.
- Step 2: Implement Hydration
- Wrap your component blocks with a
divthat has a known identifier. - Once the JavaScript is loaded, the Prerendered Component will search for these identifiers and hydrate the component.
- Wrap your component blocks with a
- Step 3: Manage States and Loading
- Store and restore the component’s state by accessing data from the HTML.
- For deferred loading, use interception observers to load content below the fold.
Example Code Implementation
Here’s a snippet that demonstrates how to restore data from HTML:
restore = (el) => this.setState({ counter: +el.querySelector('i').innerHTML })
Once the component has read any data, it can go live!
Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter issues while implementing the React Prerendered Component, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure Server and Client Match: The server must produce unique HTML that matches the client-side rendering.
- Check Component States: Make sure the states are properly initialized and restored from HTML.
- Verify Cache Settings: Ensure you have the correct caching strategies in place.

Extra Features and Benefits
Besides partial hydration, the React Prerendered Component offers features such as:
- Component-Level Caching: It acts as a cache which optimizes rendering performance.
- Templatization: Allows for effective memory usage while reducing rendering performance issues.
- Safe SSR: Works well with server-side rendering when wrapped properly.
