#rules_prerender
Are there any good #web conferences / meetups with an #RFP open in the #BayArea or virtual?
There are a few projects I've been working on which I'd love to give talks about and share with the community (not Angular related). Could be talking about any/all of:
1. #HydroActive - A different take on hydration in an HTML-first world. https://github.com/dgp1130/HydroActive/
2. #rules_prerender - A #Bazel ruleset serving as a fast and scalable #StaticSiteGenerator. https://github.com/dgp1130/rules_prerender/
3. #HTMLFragments - A no-tooling, web standard-based approach to HTML over the wire. https://blog.dwac.dev/posts/html-fragments/
Greatly appreciate boosts for reach!
This change also has a side benefit of giving you full control over the `ts_project` which compiles your prerendering logic. No more awkward wrapping in #rules_prerender, much cleaner!
Just landed a major update to #rules_prerender yesterday. I redesigned the core component API to better express dependencies between different "slices" of a component. For example, if you only depend on the client-side JavaScript, the bundler will still find the associated CSS styles.

Really excited about the direction here! Next step is the actual documentation site.
Speaking of not writing documentation: I also prototyped a very cool idea for how to greatly simplify the developer experience of #rules_prerender *and* make it understand even more complex dependency graphs.
Still more experimenting to be done, but I'm hopeful this is a viable strategy and will be a big improvement for developers! 😁
Released a new version of #rules_prerender with full #Preact support built-in.

Getting closer and closer to something I'd be willing to call a 1.0.0!
Biggest open issue is still actually writing all the documentation, though I keep getting distracted by other features.
After a lot of work, I've finally landed a release of #Bazel #rules_prerender which is compatible with #aspect_rules_js! https://github.com/dgp1130/rules_prerender/releases/tag/releases%2F0.0.17
This has been a long time coming, and the issue shows how big a change this was (https://github.com/dgp1130/rules_prerender/issues/48). It didn't help that I kept getting distracted with other things and forgot everything I was doing. 😅
#aspect_rules_js does seem like a solid improvement and it sets up #rules_prerender for a lot of awesome improvements in the future (#ESM, #bzlmod, better bundling, etc.) Super excited about where we can take this next!
Shout out to @alexeagle and Greg Magolan (who I don't think is on Mastodon?) for their help, couldn't have done it without you!
