@astrojs/preact ⚛️

This Astro integration enables server-side rendering and client-side hydration for your Preact components.

Installation

There are two ways to add integrations to your project. Let's try the most convenient option first!

astro add command

Astro includes a CLI tool for adding first party integrations: astro add. This command will:

1. (Optionally) Install all necessary dependencies and peer dependencies
2. (Also optionally) Update your astro.config.* file to apply this integration

To install @astrojs/preact, run the following from your project directory and follow the prompts:

# Using NPM
npx astro add preact
# Using Yarn
yarn astro add preact
# Using PNPM
pnpx astro add preact

If you run into any hiccups, feel free to log an issue on our GitHub and try the manual installation steps below.

Install dependencies manually

First, install the @astrojs/preact integration like so:

npm install @astrojs/preact

Most package managers will install associated peer dependencies as well. Still, if you see a "Cannot find package 'preact'" (or similar) warning when you start up Astro, you'll need to install Preact:

npm install preact

Now, apply this integration to your astro.config.* file using the integrations property:

astro.config.mjs

import preact from '@astrojs/preact';

export default {
  // ...
  integrations: [preact()],
}

Getting started
