Question 1

How to add server-side rendering to preact-starter?

Accepted Answer

preact-starter does not support SSR out of the box; you would need to set up a separate server-side rendering configuration or use a different boilerplate, as the README explicitly states it's for client-side only.

Question 2

Is preact-starter good for large-scale applications?

Accepted Answer

While it provides a solid foundation, the lack of SSR and outdated Webpack might make it less ideal for large-scale apps that require advanced optimizations, server-side capabilities, or frequent dependency updates.

Question 3

How to update Webpack in preact-starter?

Accepted Answer

You can manually update Webpack by modifying configuration files, but this may break compatibility with other parts of the boilerplate, so it requires careful testing and adjustments, as the setup is tailored to Webpack3.

Question 4

preact-starter vs create-react-app for building PWAs?

Accepted Answer

preact-starter is lighter and focused on Preact with offline caching, while create-react-app is more feature-rich for React but may be heavier. Choose preact-starter if you prefer Preact and simplicity for offline-first apps.

Question 5

How to integrate CSS-in-JS with preact-starter?

Accepted Answer

You can integrate CSS-in-JS libraries manually since preact-starter uses traditional CSS, but it requires additional setup and configuration outside the provided boilerplate, as mentioned in the README's note on css-in-js.

Question 6

Does preact-starter support TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

No, preact-starter does not include TypeScript support by default; you would need to configure TypeScript and Babel settings yourself, which adds complexity to the setup.
