Preact implementation

Would you like it to be part of this repository? It’s very similar to slate-react.

Even if that’s not the case, I think it’s worth considering to move non-React specific code (constants, utils, even plugins) to separate package (e.g. slate-dom?) because you’d reuse most of it with every DOM view integration (libraries or DIY) if you port or get inspiration from slate-react.

Diffs in utils:

• Eliminate ReactDOM.findDOMNode which is deprecated anyway (in strict mode) #2420. There are two identical instances here and here (which could be replaced with editor.base?). ReactDOM is also used in this utility function but it’s not even used in package nor exported.

Diffs in components:

• This has to be changed to {[...children]}, ImmutableJS quirk? Preact children has to be regular array (Immer!!). Im not 100% sure if there are other similar cases but everything works so far.
• Replace React.Component with Preact.Component (also in plugins/react.js).

Not sure if there are any clashes between Preact’s native events and code that’s written for React’s synthetic events (signature is the same…) but everything I’ve tried works so far and I haven’t encountered any errors.

@realknack yup, preact/compat is meant to work exactly like react, even though we may do things differently under the hood. If something doesn’t work like react we treat it as a bug in preact/compat. I went ahead and made an issue.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I already did put this project on hold until X release. Can’t wait! ☕
