FAQPage Schema

How do I enable server-side rendering in an Angular application?▼

To enable Angular server-side rendering, run ng add @angular/ssr to integrate SSR. This generates browser and server bundles, allowing your application to render on the server for faster initial loads and improved SEO visibility.

What does hydration do in Angular SSR?▼

Hydration in Angular SSR allows the server-rendered HTML to be reused by the client without rebuilding the DOM. This improves perceived performance and ensures a smooth transition from server to browser rendering.

How do I make browser-only APIs safe for Angular server-side rendering?▼

To make browser-only APIs safe for Angular server-side rendering, apply specific patterns that check the rendering context. This prevents server execution errors when accessing browser objects like window or document during route navigation.

Can I use prerendering for specific routes like product pages in Angular?▼

Yes, you can use prerendering for specific routes like product pages and dashboards in Angular. This generates static HTML at build time, improving search indexing and perceived performance for those routes without runtime server overhead.
