parcel with preact: hot module reloading *appends* new html instead of replacing it.

[urbanhop]

using parcel with preact:
when i edit a js file, hot module reloading appends the newly rendered html instead of replacing it.

how can i avoid that?
thx

That's part of preact. See the note on render: https://preactjs.com/guide/differences-to-react#what-s-different-

To avoid, you can add a third argument to render like this:

const node = document.body;

render(<SomeApp />, node, node.lastChild);
