Express React Views
This is an Express view engine which renders React components on server. It renders static markup and *does not* support mounting those views on the client.
Overview
express-react-views is an Express view engine designed to render React components on the server. It is meant to replace traditional server-side view solutions like jade, ejs, or handlebars. Please note that this package is deprecated and no longer maintained. Better alternatives, such as Next.js or Remix, are recommended for new projects.
Features
- Static Rendering: Renders static markup without support for mounting views on the client.

- Layouts: Composition of layouts by passing props to layout components.
- Data Handling: Data is accessible in the view through
this.propssimilar to other view engines.
