Meta tags are a bit tricky in apps built with `create-react-app`! While some bots like Google are able to render the full page when crawling, not all bots are. Most will just see the empty-ish index.html that would normally load up the application.
But we want outfit sharing to work! And be cool! And use our new outfit thumbnails!
In this change, we add a new server-side rendering API route to handle `/outfits/:id`.
It's very weak server-side rendering: it just loads index.html, and makes a few small tweaks inside the `<head>` tag. But it should be enough for sharing to work in clients that support the basics of Open Graph, which I think most major providers respect! (I know Twitter has their own tags, but it also respects the basics of OG, so let's see whether there's anything we end up _wanting_ to tweak or not!)
I've been getting more Sentry errors about JS chunk errors after deploys, and finally looked into it!
Turns out that, our try/catch handling was working great, and the page was reloading correctly for users as expected. But in these scenarios we would _also_ throw and log two uncaught errors!
The first is that, because we're a single-page app, unrecognized routes fall back to the index.html by default (to power our custom client-side routes, like /outfits/123 etc). So this meant that missing JS files, which _should_ be returning a 404, were instead returning 200 OK and an HTML file, which failed to parse. (And running the script isn't included in the catchable part of the `import` promise!)
Now, in our `vercel.json` config, we catch those paths specifically and 404 them. (The exact choice of path is important: on dev, all these routes run _before_ the dev server, which is responsible for serving the static files - but dev doesn't include hashes in the JS file names, so this 404 route only matches built prod JS files, not local dev JS files.)
The second is that we failed to return anything to `@loadable/component` in the error case, so it would try to render `undefined` as if it were a component class. Now, we return a trivial component class that returns null!
