Prerender fails when using React component about preact-cli

[jangerhofer]

@developit: Do I understand correctly that the module-alias redirects react and react-dom includes to the corresponding preact packages, as described in the preact-compat config?

I'm wondering because I'd like to use preact (and the convenience of the CLI!) with React packages, but preact-compat requires access to the webpack.config.

[developit]

Ah weird, module-alias was actually never set up. We need to add it to prerender.js. That might actually be the root of some of the other issues.

couldn't a webpack build be used for the prerender? That way webpack's alias could be used and code functionality wouldn't somewhat get duplicated.

[developit]

Yes. Looks like @rkostrzewski is working on it because he's a genius.

[kurtextrem]

Awesome! LMK if you need / want help.

(and just for the overview - maybe add the SSR label to this issue and to the PR?)

[developit]

Label added :)

@jangerhofer yes, that's what module-alias would be doing for us. Webpack is already doing it for our browser build, but we are currently doing server rendering straight in Node. Once we move the SSR to using Webpack, the aliases will be handled the same as they are in the browser.

is there any workaround? --prerender false is not helping :(

[rkostrzewski]

@asci have you tried --no-prerender? If I recall correctly that's how to that with yargs

[asci]

@rkostrzewski oh, thanks. looks like it helps

[rkostrzewski]

@thangngoc89 this should work in 1.3.0, could you verify?

[thangngoc89]

@rkostrzewski I'm forking preact-cli right now, gonna make some PR to make it easier for me to switch back

[reznord]

@thangngoc89 is it working on Rafal's fork?

[thangngoc89]

@reznord where is that fork? I have forked and check preact-cli in as a submodule inside my project.

[thangngoc89]

Fixed in 1.3.0
