Preparation for SSR

We’ll be using Quasar CLI to develop and build a SSR website. The difference between building a SPA, Mobile App, Electron App, PWA or SSR is simply determined by the “mode” parameter in “quasar dev” and “quasar build” commands.

In order to develop or build a SSR website, we first need to add the SSR mode to our Quasar project:

$ quasar mode add ssr

If you want to jump right in and start developing, you can skip the “quasar mode” command and issue:

$ quasar dev -m ssr

This will add SSR mode automatically, if it is missing.

A new folder will appear in your project folder (which is explained in detail on the Configuring SSR page):

# SSR middleware files
server.js
# SSR webserver
