Astro, prerendering a single component in a SSR page

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

I had a server-rendered Astro page and I was doing a quite intensive calculation on it. It ran on every page load.

So I used a partial (🆕 in Astro 3.4) and set the prerender flag on it:

---
export const prerender = true
export const partial = true
---

Then I included this partial client-side using HTMX (you could also just use a fetch() request and swap some innerHTML too).

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
