Solid.js support

[davedbase]

Hi there, this looks like a great project. I'm investigating how much effort it would be to support Solid.js. Solid SSR is about 2x Marko according to tests against isomorphic-ui-benchmarks, so I think it make a fantastic candidate for Worker edge serving.

Is this as straightforward as replacing some Vite config options? If you provide some guidance I can likely handle a PR for you to entertain.

@davedbase Hi, thanks a lot!
Is not that straightforward, but it might not be too complicated. I wrote more about it here (for Svelte): #10 (comment)

The key is that we rely on the framework's router. I've no idea how the router works in Solid.js so not sure if it will be complicated 😅

Ask me anything if you need more clarifications 👍

Edit: seems that there is some discussion here about an official router for Solid: solidjs/solid#186

[davedbase]

@frandiox yup!

Ryan's working on a more consolidated version that will power our starter, Solid Start.

https://github.com/solidjs/solid-app-router currently supports SSR and is the closest thing to official. Our solid-hackernews example is already doing SSR with Vite and Cloudflare Worker: https://github.com/solidjs/solid-hackernews/tree/vite-ssr. So I think it's a matter of porting what Ryan has done over.

I know work is actively being done on the SSR API right now, but that shouldn't prohibit getting something going with vitedge.

PS. It would be awesome to get this working in Vitedge. Solid's SSR perf is...insane. Run that at the edge and you're flying. :-)

@davedbase Hey! Are you aware of any news related to Solid or Solid router?

[davedbase]

@frandiox yeah! @ryansolid has been making great progress. I believe this is the branch that the work is being done on: https://github.com/solidjs/solid-app-router/tree/unified. Ryan's unifying different approaches into one.

@frandiox so @ryansolid landed the new version of the router. Comes with a lot of punch (https://twitter.com/webkoder/status/1417791942327508999?s=20). Would love to see what you guys do with it in vitedge. ;-)
