Preact Browserify

Quick, simplest boilerplate for a Preact project using Browserify.

Purpose

This repo has the boilerplate to build a JS bundle with Browserify for projects that use Preact. It is mostly targeted at people who want to build a dynamic Preact app and are only interested in generating a single JavaScript file. If you want to generate a full app (with pre-rendered HTML, styles, routes and JavaScript), I would recommend preact-cli.

Getting set up

Get yourself a copy of the repo, and do

npm install
npm run bundle

You will have a working bundled JavaScript file at /public/js/bundle.js. You can easily change where the file goes in package.json. Finally, the single point of entry of the app will be src/index.jsx. You can add your Preact code there, or save it as a Preact Component and link it from such. Examples of both are in the boilerplate.
