preact-cli VS create-react-app

You need a current version of Node.js installed because we use the Preact-CLI and some NPM packages.

So you either need to define it properly before importing web3 or configure your webpack differently. See here for more details: https://github.com/preactjs/preact-cli/issues/766

I am a maintainer for preact-cli, and as the other guy I think was trying to point out, build tools are a particularly big issue in this space.

For react app I used Create React App and for Preact used preact-cli. Preact also gives an option to convert your existing react app to preact using preact-compat, but I have built an app from scratch to see the best result.

Immerse yourself in the official Create React App documentation for a deeper understanding.

Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev/)

- And ofc, there are some templates/frameworks that bring something of that together (https://create-react-app.dev/; maybe https://vitejs.dev/) - google for templates.

I recommend finding some friend with modern experience or at least some youtube tutorials or at least some learning course. That would help you to catch up on the best way to bootstrap your first project. Then you can practice.

What's the connection?
