WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT PREACT
HELLO! I am Sara I work at YLD and make
useless stuff on the internet @NikkitaFTW
Portugal
REMEMBER THIS JOKE?
Y’ALL JUST LOST TO A TEAM OF FLAMINGOS
PREACT
I know what your first question is !
I brought them stickers
1. What ? 2. Who ? 3. Why ? 4.
Future ? 5. The CLI
WHAT IS PREACT ?
None
IS IT PRODUCTION READY ?
None
YES !
WHO MADE PREACT ?
Jason Miller / @developit
WHY PREACT ?
THE COMMUNITY There is an amazing community behind preact !

IT’S PERFORMANT Preact is 3KB and was made with performance
in mind
X KB OF JS IS NOT THE SAME AS X
KB OF IMAGES The browser has to download it but also parse it and in older devices this may be the biggest problem
BENCHMARKS
Firefox 57.0 (64-bit)
Chrome Version 62 (64-bit)
REACT COMPATIBILITY You can use it with any react component
yarn add preact-compat { // ... resolve: { alias: {
'react': 'preact-compat', 'react-dom': 'preact-compat', // Not necessary unless you consume a module using `createClass` 'create-react-class': 'preact-compat/lib/create-react-class' } } // ... } How ?
What’s included in Preact ?
ES6 CLASS COMPONENTS And all the awesome lifecycle methods of
course
HIGH ORDER COMPONENTS Create them composes
FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS Functions that just receive props as arguments and
return JSX/VDOM
CONTEXT In some cases, you want to pass data through
the component tree without having to pass the props down manually at every level. You can do this directly in with the “context” API.
REFS We all use it, don’t lie
VIRTUAL DOM DIFFING Preact's diff is simple but effective, and
extremely fast.
What’s added in Preact ?
PROPS AND STATE IN RENDER this.props and this.state are passed
to render() for you. THIS IS SO SWEET
class Home extends Component { constructor() { super(); this.state =
{ loading: true } } render = () => { const { name } = this.props; const { loading } = this.state; return ( <div> {loading ? ‘Loading...’ : name} </div> ) } }
class Home extends Component { state = { loading: true
} render = ({ name }, { loading }) => ( <div> {loading ? ‘Loading...’ : name} </div> ) }
DOM UPDATES Batching of DOM updates, debounced/collated using setTimeout (can
also use requestAnimationFrame)
CSS CLASS You can just use class for CSS classes.
className is still supported, but class is preferred.
Component and element recycling / pooling.
What’s missing in Preact ?
DANGEROUSLY SET innerHTML Do we really want this ? There
is preact-markup to fill this gap
SYNTHETIC EVENTS Preact's browser support target does not require this
extra overhead. Preact uses the browser's native addEventListener for event handling
BROWSER SUPPORT Preact supports modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
and IE9+
FUTURE
FASTER DIFFING ALGORITHM
ARRAY RETURNS
FRAGMENT SUPPORT
ASYNC DIFFING
DEMO TIME Let’s talk about the preact-cli
THANK YOU
