HTML Over the Wire: Simplifying Server-Rendered Web Development
HTML over the wire is an approach gaining popularity in web development, particularly in server-rendered frameworks. Rather than relying on JSON APIs, developers render components on the server and send the resulting HTML to the client. This approach simplifies the development process and eliminates the need for additional data-fetching on the client side. While it may pose certain challenges for web scraping, HTML over the wire offers benefits for developers looking to streamline their workflow and enhance the performance of their applications.
Using Environment Variables for Development and Production Configurations
When working with XGS 13, Prisma, and Vercel, setting up different databases for local development and production is a common requirement. One approach is to use environment variables and separate configuration files for development and production. Utilizing process.env.NODE_ENV allows you to select the appropriate environment, which can be used to interpolate the correct configuration file when running npm run dev or npm run prod commands. This ensures you can test and develop without affecting production data.
