index.html not generated?

[m4rvr]

Hey! When I run vite-ssr build it logs the generated files to the console like dist/client/index.html 0.42kb but when I look into the dist/client directory, the index.html is missing.
Is this correct and if so, how can I deploy it? Can it generate static pages?

@MarvinRudolph Hello! The index.html file is removed at the end of the build so it's normal that you don't find it. It's content is inlined in the SSR build so it should work without issues. To deploy, you can see an example of a Node.js server here (so anything that works with Node.js should be fine). There's also an example deploying to Vercel here.

Can it generate static pages?

There's no functionality in vite-ssr for static pages at the moment. You can either use:

• vite-ssg, which has similar API to vite-ssr but focuses on static pages.
• vitedge, which does SSR in CF workers so the result is cached at the edge (pretty much like a static file).
