Preact Portal
Render Preact components into any DOM element, useful for modals, tooltips, and overlays.
What is Preact Portal?
Preact-portal is a library for Preact that allows components to render their children into a different DOM element than their parent. It solves the problem of UI elements like modals or tooltips needing to break out of the normal component hierarchy to ensure proper visual layering and positioning.
Preact developers building applications that require modals, overlays, tooltips, or any UI components that must render outside their parent DOM container.
It provides a simple, lightweight, and Preact-optimized way to implement DOM portals, avoiding the overhead of larger UI libraries while ensuring compatibility with Preact's ecosystem.
