support isFragment

[cbbfcd]

As far as I know, there are many projects that use preact to replace react, so it is inevitable that methods such as isFragment will be used in some three-party libraries, but this is not supported by preact. Excuse me, is there any workround? Or consider supporting it?

[marvinhagemeister]

Neither the react package or the react-dom package seem to export a function called isFragment. Can you share more about where you got it from?

If you ran into a problem with a specific library, feel free to post a reproduction case. Happy to look into that.

Sounds like a react-is sort of thing

@marvinhagemeister @rschristian Thanks for such a quick reply.
the problem I encountered is that after replacing react with preact, some third-party libraries, such as ant-design-mobile depend on react-is/isFragment, but this method is not supported by preact/compat, resulting in some components not being able to be run properly, and I believe this problem should be encountered by other developers as well.

#3899 (comment)

[cbbfcd]

I did some random googling and found that many third libraries support isFragment internally, but for developers, it can be a long wait

[cbbfcd]

For example, I now have the option of raising a pr to ant-design-mobile to be compatible with preact/compat scenarios, but I don't know if they'll accept it, or raising a pr with preact/compat

[marvinhagemeister]

That internalised _isFragment function should pass as is. But seems like tackling #3899 makes sense regardless.

I'm new to preact, Does it make sense to add isFragment code in preact/compat like this?

export function isFragment(element) {
    if (!isValidElement(element)) return false;
    return element.type === preact.Fragment;
}
