Installing SSR-specific dependencies

Quasar CLI with Vite - @quasar/app-vite v3

Notice the /src-ssr/package.json file in your generated /src-ssr folder. The purpose of it is for you to be able to install packages used by the SSR mode directly under this folder (and not pollute the common /src).

WARNING

If you import anything from node_modules in /src-ssr, then be aware that:

The packages specified in /src-ssr/package.json > dependencies are runtime deps and will get embedded into your production dist/
The packages specified in devDependencies are considered build system deps, like @types/* and they will NOT get embedded into dist/.

Only the dependencies will be embedded into your dist/, to ensure it’s as small as possible and no time is lost installing unnecessary deps.

Installing SSR specific packages, like the actual webserver & middlewares & plugins:

PNPM

Yarn

NPM

Bun

# run in /src-ssr for runtime deps (will be embedded into /dist):
pnpm add <deps>

# run in /src-ssr for deps used by the build system (if any)
pnpm add -D <dev-deps>
