Webapp

An apps/isomorphic renders <WebApp />-Components at the server-side and returns the rendered html as response to the client requesting the url. Further, it provides the whole app as Javascript code for download to enable a dynamic user experience.

If your application stack needs to serve completely separated applications that come with different html-templates or different React-components it may make sense to use more than one <WebApp />.

If you simply require different “pages”, using multiple <Route/>-components is the better choice.

Parents

A <WebApp /> component is supported as a direct child of an apps/isomorphic. An <IsomorhpicApp /> can have multiple WebApp-children. In this case, make sure the regular expression in the property path clearly distinguishes all the possible paths.

Properties

The WebApp-component requires you to define the following properties:

• id the (arbitrary) name of your webapp, please use only lower case characters and hyphens for the name serves as identifier within AWS
• ``path``the relative path of the route, e.g. “/” for the root, or “/something”, or “*” for any. Can be a regular expression.
• method the http-method that this app will work with, e.g. “GET”, “POST”, “PUT”, “DELETE”

Allowed Children

The WebApp-component supports the following infrastructure-components as direct children:

• a Route lets you specify a custom path (at the domain of your app) that gets served by its render-function. You should have at least the home-path-route (“/”) in any meaningful web-application.
• a Middleware lets you specify a server-side function that runs whenever a user requests a page from the server. When you specify it as a direct child of your <WebApp/> then it applies to all routes of this webapp. If you want <Middleware/>``s to apply to a single ``<Route/>, put them as children to ` <Route/>

A <WebApp /> can have multiple <Route/> and <Middleware /> children.
