Is there a way to wait for API response before server will render a page?

[kuatro]

Hello!
I found that server isn't waiting for async API response, and sends blank components to front-end.

Hi! I'll have a look at it soon, probably tomorrow.

[kuatro]

What do you think about this approach?
bananaoomarang/isomorphic-redux

The only confusing thing for me is adding a needs array to each container.

[janoist1]

I'll check it later in the weekend and come back to you. Thanks for the link.

[janoist1]

I've checked it. It's a nice solution, I might implement it into this starter kit once I have some time. ;-)

[bodyno]

also have the same question

[kuatro]

@bodyno I think we could help @janoist1.
Currently I'm working on integration redux-saga in this boilerplate, but I haven't much free time.
Could you implement something like the example that I've posted above?

[bodyno]

@kuatro
I'm not so familiar with the universal react.
Please tell me how to call dispatch action at server side.

[janoist1]

It looks like I'll have some time in the upcoming weekend, will try to implement an async example and do some general updates. ;)

[bodyno]

👍 👍 👍

@janoist1 Please just give me some train of thought
how to call dispatch action at server side

[janoist1]

@bodyno I'm not sure what you wanna achieve but guessing you want a point where you can initiate your (async) API request. I chose route onEnter callback as starting point:

import Weather from './containers/WeatherContainer'
import { fetchWeatherData } from './modules/weather'

export default store => ({
  path: 'weather',
  component: Weather,
  onEnter: () => {
    // async get weather data
    store.dispatch(fetchWeatherData())
  }
})

I'm working on an async example that runs on server side. I'm not far from getting it done. ;-)

@kuatro if you can show me exactly what needs to be done, I'm personally interested in fixing this and don't mind submitting a PR to make it happen

[kuatro]

Hey, @peterpme .
As I understood, when you build an isomorphic React/Redux app, you need to implement your own promise middleware to resolve all API requests on server-side.
I've sent a link above: bananaoomarang/isomorphic-redux

@janoist1 mind closing out this issue and direct folks to #19?
