Using static pages like landing page about apollo-universal-starter-kit HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Gilad,

Thank you for giving a try to this starter kit.

Maybe what you are really looking for is code-splitting based on React routes, so that some React routes, that don't use heavy stuff like Apollo or React Bootstrap didn't load these heavy dependencies and pulled only bare minimum needed? Like the way it is described here:
https://medium.com/@puppybits/webpack-code-splitting-by-routes-92f96cf733f2#.3zdulutcp
Well, we want not only code-splitting of the application code as described in the article above, but also code-splitting of vendor javascripts, so that we didn't load Apollo, React Bootstrap and other heavy stuff on "static" routes.

Yes, I think, that adding code-splitting support to this starter kit is a good idea and I will try to add this soon.

Thanks for your quick response
Yes, code-splitting is my other thought about it.
I'm still thinking about which one is a better approach.
Anyway, also configure a code-splitting is not so easy with all the different configs (SSR, dev/prod, vendors splitting, plain CSS vs sass)
Also usually in the reality, a landing page will not use even react sometimes and not sass but only plain HTML/CSS with a script and some vendors script.
(Maybe the support should come in the form of a react component which use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to load the static HTML, in this case, it will support both react static page and HTML static page)
So a support for such case will be wonderfull.

By the way, what happen with code splitting when you make a client routing, like clicking on the logo to move to the landing page, because the splitting is on the server, and in client routing this mechanism won't run on the server, so somehow you have to load the additional required scripts. (I'm sure there is a solution for this, just wondering how it works)

Thanks again!

This issue needs more clarification, what do we really want. Closing it for now.
