This example uses Preact instead of React. It's a React like UI framework which is fast and small.

Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz

Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example using-preact using-preact-app

yarn create next-app --example using-preact using-preact-app

pnpm create next-app --example using-preact using-preact-app

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Using preact with next.js depends on aliasing react packages to preact ones (like @preact/compat). This is done directly in the package.json dependencies.

This example was updated to use next-plugin-preact and now requires minimal configuration, if you want to add preact without a plugin, or see how it works, head to the previous next.config.js.
