Getting started with SolidStart: A SolidJS framework
Blog post from LogRocket
SolidStart, an experimental meta-framework built on SolidJS, offers developers a range of features including file-based routing, API endpoints, and support for various rendering modes, while allowing the use of forms to trigger server actions and defining RPC functions with ease. The framework integrates composable primitives and observables, enhancing its potential in constructing scalable and efficient applications. The tutorial within the text guides developers through creating a simple business trips app using SolidStart, featuring the setup of a project, managing data with an array instead of a database, and establishing API routes. It explains how to utilize SolidStart's features to handle server-side operations and client-server interactions, while also demonstrating the use of route data and actions to manage and display data dynamically. Despite its experimental status, SolidStart shows promise for future development, offering unique capabilities for frontend development, and potential for integration with other technologies like GraphQL and tRPC.
