Hi all, I am confused by the example for server-side-rendering.

In the example, there is both a nodeExtractor and a webExtractor. The nodeExtractor ends up using requireEntryPoints but webExtractor does not. Could someone explain to me the need for an extractor for node and a separate one for web? Furthermore, why does nodeExtractor utilize requireEntryPoints instead of specifying entrypoints in the constructor of ChunkExtractor?

Why are the above points also missing from the documentation?

Furthermore, I see a lot of specific changes to webpack.config.babel.js and babel.config.js that was not mentioned in the Documentation. What were the need for these changes in the example? Does the documentation need to be updated to reflect the same?

@imthinhvu - I’m running into the exact same problem you described. Mind sharing your solution?

@neoziro - I laid out the differences when I opened the issue, can you please take a look if you haven’t yet? Primarily referencing need for nodeExtractor vs webExtractor, and use of requireEntrypoints – these are all part of the SSR example, but not in the documentation.
