Server Side Rendering with Angular Universal
summary
Angular Universal renders Angular apps to static HTML on the server for better SEO, faster first paint and correct social previews, then boots the client app and rehydrates the view while preserving interim user input with the preboot record-and-playback library. The demo uses an Express server and Express createEngine wiring to render the main Angular module, caches API responses so the client skips duplicate data fetches, and recommends inlining templates/styles and avoiding direct DOM calls. Node and .NET renderers exist; production maturity is still progressing.
