Summary


In this lesson, we have added server-side rendering to our application. We started by generating the server app and adding its dependencies. We then added scripts to our package.json file, before implementing a web server in Express.js. Lastly, we saw how to add dynamic metadata to our pages.

In the next lesson, we'll configure service workers for our application.
