Overview

The Tiny Universal Skeleton is an innovative solution geared towards developers looking to create universal applications with ease. With its approach to syncing server-side middleware with client applications seamlessly, it simplifies the development workflow while harnessing the power of Webpack. By addressing common complications faced in full-stack development, it positions itself as an attractive option for those wanting to accelerate their project setup.

This framework stands out due to its ability to run one process on a single port while leveraging the same file system, providing an efficient development environment. Its simplicity, compared to other complex alternatives like universal-webpack, makes it a practical choice for both beginners and seasoned developers who value performance and ease of use.

Features

• Single Process Operation: Unlike most universal frameworks that run multiple processes on different ports, this solution operates entirely on one process, simplifying development.

• Dynamic Middleware Decoration: The server decorator function elegantly applies and removes middleware as needed, ensuring that changes are instantly reflected during development.

• Webpack Integration: Bundling server-side code with Webpack allows for tree-shaking and code optimizations, enhancing performance and reducing bundle size.

• Hot Reloading: Effortlessly set up hot-reloading for your universal application in just a few lines of code, streamlining the development cycle.

• High Configuration Possibilities: Leverage Webpack’s powerful configuration options to customize your development setup to best suit your needs.

• Built-in API Endpoints and SSR: The framework supports easy integration of API endpoints and server-side rendering, making it suitable for dynamic applications.

• Clear Documentation: Provides straightforward guidelines on setup and configuration, making it accessible for those who may be new to server-side and universal application development.
