Controller and router: Cerebral, ReactJS and MeteorJS ES2015

In the previous controversial Post I've explained a bit the advantages of using Meteor as Client/Server data layer with mainstream NPM packages, but the architecture isn't complete. React is the View, but we still miss something important. It's possible to use directly Meteor

Look at meteor-webpack-react. Is Meteor package system perceived as a lock-in by the NodeJS community and slowing down its adoption as data

Server-Side-Rendering with react-router and Meteor

Server Side Rendering (SSR) is the ultimate step to unify Single Page Applications and classic (server generated HTML) websites. Facebook immediatly sends HTML but frequent updated contents (realtime) or the less important ones are updated at a later time. What is SSR in brief? Server side generated HTML: the page
