Preact - trackjs/javascript-gameshow

Preact is a fast, lightweight alternative to Facebook’s React library, with a similar design philosophy and programming model. It allows you to build web applications using a declarative component-based architecture, and it includes features such as virtual DOM rendering, diffing, and patching for efficient updates. Preact is just 3kB in size, making it an attractive choice for performance-critical applications.

To set up a Preact application, you can use the Preact CLI tool, which provides a simple way to create, build, and deploy Preact projects. Here’s an example of how to create a new Preact project:

npx create-preact-app my-app

This will create a new Preact application in a directory called my-app. You can then navigate to that directory and start the development server:

cd my-app
npm start

This will start the development server and open your application in a web browser.

Preact components are custom HTML elements that encapsulate a specific piece of functionality or behavior. Here’s an example of a simple Preact component that displays a greeting message:

import { h, Component } from 'preact';

class Greeting extends Component {
render() {
return <h1>Hello, {this.props.name}!</h1>;
}
}

This component can be used in another component like this:

import { h, render } from 'preact';
import Greeting from './Greeting';

render(<Greeting name="Alice" />, document.body);

Preact Router is a routing library for Preact that allows you to create single-page applications with multiple views. Here’s an example of how to use Preact Router:

First, install Preact Router:

npm install preact-router

Then, create some routes:

import { Router, Route } from 'preact-router';

function App() {
return (
<Router>
<Route path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/about" component={About} />
<Route path="/contact" component={Contact} />
</Router>
);
}

function Home() {
return <h1>Home</h1>;
}

function About() {
return <h1>About</h1>;
}

function Contact() {
return <h1>Contact</h1>;
}

Finally, render the App component:

import { render } from 'preact';
import App from './App';

render(<App />, document.body);

This will create a single-page application with three views: Home, About, and Contact.
