Message storage for chat application
I'm relatively new to SolidJS and I'm currently building a chat application. It connects to the chat server via a websocket connection. I have the following questions related to message storage:
1) My niave approach is for each chatroom, to have a signal that is an array of messages. UI elements (i.e. message bubbles) are rendered based on this signal. It then occured to me that if the user keeps this app running for a long time w/o closing the browser that both the signal and the page (appending new speech bubbles into the DOM) can grow to a large size. Should I worry about this? Is there a way to control the size of a signal? Perhaps "trim" it when it exceeds a size of 100?
2) How does Discord's web app handle this?

Compile specific routes into static html
I'm building an app that has the following routes:
- home
- about
- contact
- login
- dashboard
The dashboard is really the only "dynamic" part of the entire app and it should only be accessible after a user logs in.
Question: Is it possible to compile my app so that home, about, and login are static html pages and dashboard is the only page served as a "SPA"? I'm interested in doing this to optimize for SEO and page load speed.

Correct way to import CSS used by 3rd-party library?
I am building a SPA where the registration page will make use of the Leaflet mapping library. I have installed Leaflet by running the command
npm install leaflet.
If I am only using Leaflet in the registration page, what is the correct way to import the Leaflet CSS file ("leaflet/dist/leaflet.css") and the Leaflet JS module?2 replies
Dependency error using npm init solid@latest
I am unable to initialize a SolidStart project using
npm init solid@latest. I have tried multiple templates including basic, with-authjs, and with-tailwindcss, but all have failed with dependency errors when running npm install for the first time.
Since the length of the error exceeds the character limit (2000), I'll include the error in the comments.18 replies
