Closes #1897

Problem

render() starts and stops a Vite SSR server on every call (170–470 ms each), which makes on-demand rendering in a long-running process expensive. The only reuse path was the internal active renderer set by serve().

Separately, overlapping string-template renders on one renderer could return the wrong output: all string templates share a single virtual module id and a single source variable, so a second render could overwrite the source before Vite loaded the first one. This is reachable today via serve() + the Vite plugin when a host app calls render() on concurrent requests.

Changes

  • fix(render): serialize the set-source → invalidate → ssrLoadModule section for virtual SFCs behind a promise chain. renderToString still runs concurrently outside the lock. Keeping one virtual id keeps the module graph and plugin-vue's descriptor cache bounded (per-render ids leak ~34 KB per distinct template through plugin-vue's unbounded descriptor cache, measured).
  • feat: createMaizzle(config?) returns { render, close }. One Vite SSR server across renders, full pipeline (transformers, doctype, plaintext), per-call config merged over the instance config, safe to call concurrently. render() is unchanged; both now share an extracted renderWith() pipeline.
import { createMaizzle } from '@maizzle/framework'

const maizzle = await createMaizzle({ vite: { server: { watch: null } } })

const { html, plaintext } = await maizzle.render('./emails/welcome.vue', { data })

await maizzle.close()

Numbers

Reporter's loop, built dist:

per render
render() before 170–470 ms
createMaizzle().render() 80–100 ms
same, useTransformers: false 7–10 ms

Remaining cost is the transformer pipeline, out of scope here.

Tests

  • createRenderer.test.ts: overlapping renders on one renderer each get their own template. Fails without the mutex (template-0 received template-4), passes with it.
  • createMaizzle.test.ts: single renderer across renders, config merge, full pipeline, file templates, 10 overlapping renders, invalid input, close delegation.

Docs for createMaizzle still needed in the docs repo.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a reusable rendering instance that can render multiple templates with shared configuration and be closed when no longer needed.
    • Exported the instance-creation function and its TypeScript type through the public render API.
    • Per-render configuration can override instance settings, while renderer-level options must be set when creating the instance.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented overlapping renders from mixing template content, keeping each result matched to its input.

Overlapping string-template renders on one renderer overwrote each
other's source before Vite loaded it, so a render could return another
template's output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The render API adds createMaizzle, which reuses a renderer across calls and shares the render pipeline with render(). Instance renders merge per-call configuration and reject renderer-bound overrides. The string-template path serializes virtual module source assignment and loading.

Changes

Reusable renderer API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Instance API and shared render pipeline
src/render/index.ts, src/index.ts, src/tests/render/createMaizzle.test.ts
The API exports createMaizzle and MaizzleInstance. An instance reuses one renderer, merges per-call configuration over instance configuration, rejects renderer-bound overrides, and provides close(). One-shot and instance rendering use a shared pipeline. Tests cover configuration merging, HTML and plaintext output, file templates, concurrent renders, error handling, renderer reuse, and shutdown.
Serialize virtual SFC loading
src/render/createRenderer.ts, src/tests/render/createRenderer.test.ts, src/tests/render/createMaizzle.test.ts
The string-template path serializes virtual SFC source assignment and module loading. Concurrent-render tests check that each result contains its own template.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d7676

Renderer reuse in a host process, per-render array settings, and shutdown during rendering need attention before merging. The shutdown failure is limited to a particular SSR configuration.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Wait for in-flight renders before closing the instance.

When the SSR environment enables vite.environments.ssr.dev.recoverable, close() can run while renderWith() is awaiting server.ssrLoadModule(). Vite then rejects the request with ERR_CLOSED_SERVER, so the render can fail. Track active renders, reject new renders after closing starts, and close the renderer after they settle.

Suggested fix
   const baseConfig = config ?? {}
   const renderer = await createRenderer(rendererOptions(resolveConfigObject(baseConfig)))
+  const pendingRenders = new Set<Promise<RenderResult>>()
+  let closing = false
 
   return {
     async render(template, renderConfig) {
+      if (closing) throw new Error('Cannot render after close()')
       if (renderConfig) assertNoRendererOverrides(renderConfig)
-      return renderWith(renderer, template, resolveConfigObject(defu(renderConfig, baseConfig)))

Reuse the active renderer in createMaizzle().

When getActiveRenderer() returns a host renderer, createMaizzle() still calls createRenderer(). A second SSR server can collide with the host Vite process and throw outsideEmitter undefined. Reuse the active renderer, and do not close it from the instance.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve array overrides in instance configuration.

When the instance and a render both define an array, defu(renderConfig, baseConfig) concatenates them. Maizzle’s config normalization replaces arrays instead. For example, a per-render html.attributes.remove: [] retains the instance’s removal rules, so that render still removes attributes. Use the same array-replacement merge policy as resolveConfigObject() before resolving the per-render config. (github.com)
