SSR/API services
Does the API server & SSR server run in different contexts? Is there a way to share services between them?
I have mock graphql server.
I'd like to have a single instance that is used directly in SSR & that is referenced from client side api route.
Or maybe there's a better approach I should take?

Or maybe I should be trying a server function instead of an api route?

and that mock graphql server, what will it be when not a mock anymore?

Uhh an externally hosted API for prod. Mock server is just for Dev

so in prod this is a non issue?
graceful-blueOP•7mo ago
Correct
deep-jade•7mo ago
then how about running the mock in a separate process outside of start?
to replicate your prod setup

That's a very valid suggestion / logical step. That's a bit more involved though. It would be nice to have to setup yet another server and maintain its process lifecycle

and what about solutions like msw? you could integrate in your start dev server and just mock the prod api calls directly
like the mock handler could just be local graphql server too or whatever is needed

It was too hard to try to inject & wait for async mock server setup in SSR.
Gave up and am now just pointing url back to self for the vinxi API server.
