Known limitations

  • PreactHub still needs project-specific verification notes for versions, bundle impact and edge cases.

Introduction

preact/compat is tracked in PreactHub because it is relevant for Preact applications, migrations, ecosystem comparisons or adjacent tooling.

Preact configuration

No `preact/compat` alias is required for the primary API.

SSR notes

The library can participate in SSR-oriented workflows when browser-only APIs are guarded.

Islands notes

preact/compat can be used from interactive islands as long as initialization is scoped to the island root and cleaned up when necessary.
