Gatsby renders the page without knowing the viewport of the device it displays towards.
We can detect and set
defaultScreenClass
config on the client-side (https://github.com/sealninja/react-ssr-example/blob/master/client.js), but React expects that the rendered content is identical between the server and the client. It can patch up differences in text content, but not object (https://reactjs.org/docs/react-dom.html#hydrate). Therefore thestyle
mismatch between the server-side and client-side will not get re-render.One possible solution that I have found is doing a two-pass rendering facebook/react#8017 (comment). Doing so will introduce a
flashing
effect when reloading the page. We can overcome this issue by introducing a small splash screen long enough to load the correct viewport (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57188179/show-overlay-only-once-on-page-entrance-not-route-change-howto).
