Description

There doesn't seem to be a mention of how one can use this library to fetch data and populate views on the server side. Is it possible to do so with this library à la react-resolver? It would be a nice addition for people looking to build completely isomorphic apps.

Research direction
Investigate react refetch documentation and examples to see if server side data fetching is supported. Look at the react resolver library for comparison. Search for any related PRs or comments in the issue that discuss implementation details. Consider whether the feature would require changes to the core library or if it can be achieved with existing APIs.
