Generate purely static website

[gmarty]

It doesn't seem to be possible to generate purely static websites (that is without JS, only plain HTML and assets).
At the very least that'd be nice to have an option not to get the bundled JavaScript in the HTML files.

Next release will have a "clientScripts" option (boolean, true by default) to control the output of the javascript inserted in html files.
By turning this off (clientScripts: false in package.json phenomic section or --no-client-scripts in package.json script section), you should turn Phenomic into a standard static website generator.

👍 That was fast!
I can't wait for the next version to be released.

As a followup, I think it makes sense to call ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup() instead of ReactDOMServer.renderToString() when in purely static mode as React additional attributes and tags are not used:

phenomic/src/static/to-html/url-as-html.js

Lines 43 to 47 in e6eaf3f

	const render = ReactDOMserver[
	!testing
	? "renderToString"
	: "renderToStaticMarkup"
	]

I already took care of that in 233b0ef ;)

Oh! As I said, fast! 👍 👍 ;-)

@gmarty Just out of curiosity. What is the use case for purely static sites with no-js?

[dab]

@DavidWells you can use w3m to browse it 😆

You can already do that. Removing the JS only remove the client side enhancement. Phenomic works without JS out of the box.
