Description

Hi!

I've just started using react-snap together with create-react-app, loadable-components and redux. Everything works great so far. React-snap generates prerendered html for every route that can be used for the initial requests, loadable-components generates js-bundles for all the subsequent navigation/requests and data is fetched in the form of json from a rest-api.

Would it be possible for react-snap to also generate separate json-files along with the prerendered html and make all subsequent requests fetch those instead of burden the rest-api?

Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Examine how react snap currently handles data fetching during prerendering, specifically in the snapshot process. Review the source code in src/ to understand how HTML files are generated and whether there is existing support for saving fetch responses. Look at the loadable components integration and consider how to save JSON snapshots alongside HTML. The issue does not specify a desired format or location for the JSON files, so initial research should propose a design.
