When implementing server-side rendering, proactively handle scenarios where server and client rendering may produce different outputs to prevent hydration errors. This commonly occurs with dynamic URLs, route matching, and encoded characters.
When implementing server-side rendering, proactively handle scenarios where server and client rendering may produce different outputs to prevent hydration errors. This commonly occurs with dynamic URLs, route matching, and encoded characters.
Implement defensive coding practices that gracefully handle these mismatches:
// Clear SSR 404s when client routes match
if (matchedPropRoute) {
for (let [routeId, error] of Object.entries(hydrationData.errors)) {
if (isRouteErrorResponse(error) && error.status === 404) {
delete hydrationData.errors[routeId];
}
}
}
function safelyEncodeSsrHref(to: To, href: string): string {
let path = typeof to === "string" ? parsePath(to).pathname : to.pathname;
if (!path || path === ".") {
try {
let encoded = new URL(href, "http://localhost");
return encoded.pathname + encoded.search;
} catch (e) {
// no-op - no changes if we can't construct a valid URL
}
}
return href;
}
While some hydration flickering may be unavoidable in edge cases, proper error handling ensures the application recovers gracefully and maintains functionality.
