SolidStart 1.3

Overview

SolidStart is an open-source meta-framework built on top of SolidJS that unifies the components that make up a web application. It uses Vinxi, an agnostic framework bundler combining Vite for development and Nitro for production server runtime.

SolidStart avoids being opinionated — it provides only the essential pieces to get started. While templates include common tools, SolidStart itself does not ship with a Router or Metadata library, leaving those choices open.

Key capabilities:

• Fine-grained reactivity — Powered by Solid's fine-grained reactive signals
• Isomorphic code execution — Code written once runs correctly on both client and server
• Multiple rendering modes — CSR, SSR (sync, async, streaming), and SSG
• File-based routing — Routes defined by file structure in src/routes/
• Server functions — Functions marked "use server" that run exclusively on the server
• Single-flight mutations — Data updates and re-fetching in a single HTTP request
• Deployment presets — Deploy to 20+ platforms via Nitro (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, Bun, Deno, Node.js)

When to Use

• Building fullstack web applications with SolidJS
• Needing SSR, SSG, or CSR with fine-grained reactivity
• Creating API routes alongside UI routes in the same project
• Implementing server-only functions (database access, session management)
• Deploying to edge platforms (Cloudflare Workers, Netlify Edge, Vercel Edge)
• Building applications requiring real-time features (WebSockets)
• Migrating from SolidStart v1 to v2

Core Concepts

Isomorphic Code

SolidStart's driving principle is that code should be isomorphic — written once and executed correctly whether on the client or server. Components in src/routes/ run on both sides automatically.

Rendering Modes

SolidStart supports three rendering paradigms, configurable per-application:

• Client-Side Rendering (CSR) — JavaScript runs entirely in the browser
• Server-Side Rendering (SSR) — HTML generated on the server with three sub-modes:
