ASP.NET Javascript Services Server Side Render Specific Routes

Question

With Microsoft's ASP.NET Javascript Services is it possible to pick and choose which routes get rendered server side?

I need marketing pages like the home page to get rendered on the server for SEO, but the web app pages to only be rendered on the client.

I am using react, react router and asp net core 2.0.

Use asp-prerender-* in a view, as described here

https://github.com/aspnet/JavaScriptServices/tree/dev/src/Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices#server-side-prerendering

For example, in your cshtml:

<div id="my-spa" asp-prerender-module="ClientApp/boot-server"
             asp-prerender-data="new {
                IsGoldUser = true,
                Cookies = ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.Cookies
             }"></div>
