@eser/laroux-react

React Server Components adapter for laroux.js framework.

Overview

This package implements the React Server Components (RSC) protocol for the laroux.js framework. It provides the necessary adapters and utilities to enable server-side rendering with React 19.x's Server Components architecture on Deno.

Features

• React Server Components: Full support for RSC protocol
• Streaming SSR: Stream React components from server to client
• Client Components: Automatic code splitting for client-side interactivity
• Server Actions: Type-safe server-side mutations
• Deno-first: Built specifically for the Deno runtime

Installation

deno add @eser/laroux-react

Usage

This package is typically used internally by @eser/cli (via eser laroux commands) and @eser/laroux-core. You generally won't need to import it directly unless you're building custom tooling.

Server-Side Rendering

import { renderToReadableStream } from "@eser/laroux-react/server";

// Render a React Server Component to a stream
const stream = await renderToReadableStream(<App />);

Client-Side Hydration

import { createFromFetch } from "@eser/laroux-react/client";

// Hydrate client components from RSC stream
const root = await createFromFetch(fetch("/rsc"));

Span Rendering

Render @eser/streams Span trees as React elements. The same formatting that produces ANSI terminal output or Markdown can produce React components:

import { SpanView } from "@eser/laroux-react/span-renderer";
import * as span from "@eser/streams/span";

function RecipeHeader({ name }: { name: string }) {
  return (
    <SpanView>
      {[span.bold("Recipe: "), span.cyan(name)]}
    </SpanView>
  );
  // Renders: <strong>Recipe: </strong><span class="text-cyan-500">name</span>
}

The react() renderer implements @eser/streams's Renderer<React.ReactElement> interface — the same interface that ansi(), markdown(), and plain() implement for strings:

import { reactRenderer } from "@eser/laroux-react";
import * as span from "@eser/streams/span";

const renderer = reactRenderer();
const element = renderer.render([span.bold("hello"), span.text(" world")]);
// <><strong>hello</strong> world</>

Running Handlers in Server Components

Use runFunction() to run @eser/functions handlers inside React Server Components. The same handler that powers eser kit list in the terminal can fetch data for a web page:

import { runFunction } from "@eser/laroux-react/use-function";
import { listRecipes } from "@eser/registry/handlers/list-recipes";

export default async function RecipesPage({ params }) {
  const { recipes } = await runFunction(
    listRecipes({ language: params.lang }),
  );

  return (
    <ul>
      {recipes.map((r) => <li key={r.name}>{r.name} — {r.description}</li>)}
    </ul>
  );
}

runFunction() creates a buffer-backed Output context, runs the handler's Task, and returns the success value. On failure, it throws — React Error Boundaries handle the error.

Exports

Export	Purpose
./mod.ts	Main: Link, Image, SpanView, runFunction
./client	Client-side hydration and rendering
./protocol	Shared RSC wire protocol utilities
./span-renderer	React Span renderer + SpanView component
./use-function	runFunction() for running handlers in server components

Dependencies

• react ^19.0.0
• react-dom ^19.0.0
• @eser/streams (Span types, renderers, Output)
• @eser/functions (Task, handler execution)
• @eser/primitives (Result types)

Architecture

This package bridges React's Server Components implementation with Deno's runtime and integrates with the eser stack handler architecture:

1. Server: Renders Server Components to RSC protocol streams
2. Client: Hydrates and renders Client Components in the browser
3. Protocol: Implements RSC wire format for streaming components
4. Span Renderer: Converts @eser/streams Span trees to React elements
5. Function Runner: Runs @eser/functions handlers inside server components
