[UI-REACT]: usage with preact leads to cannot read properties of undefined of ReactSharedInternals.ReactCurrentOwner.current

[T-Damer]

Describe the bug

I just created a preact project and used the @tonconnect/ui-react:

import { TonConnectButton, TonConnectUIProvider } from '@tonconnect/ui-react'

export default function () {
  return (
    <TonConnectUIProvider
      manifestUrl="tonconnect-manifest.json"
    >
      <TonConnectButton />
    </TonConnectUIProvider>
  )
}

It leads to:

@tonconnect_ui-react.js?v=77482234:18856 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'current')

I inspected the source and found full the cause, it looks like this:

function jsxDEV(type, config, maybeKey, source, self2) {
  ...
  return ReactElement(type, key, ref, self2, source, ReactCurrentOwner.current, props); // error here
}

ReactCurrentOwner.current - causes the issue, it's created like:

var ReactSharedInternals = React.__SECRET_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED;
var ReactCurrentOwner = ReactSharedInternals.ReactCurrentOwner;

Expected behavior

preact works fine with many react specific libraries, can we have a support for it? My project is written using preact, instead of plain react, can't spend time rewriting everything to enable the library

Current behavior

I have an error when I use the TonConnectUIProvider wrapper:

@tonconnect_ui-react.js?v=77482234:18856 Uncaught (in promise) 
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'current')

Steps to Reproduce

1. Just check my preproduction: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/ton-preact-error-demo-5jqv8g

Environment

└─┬ @tonconnect/ui-react@2.0.9
  └─┬ @tonconnect/ui@2.0.9
    └─┬ @tonconnect/sdk@3.0.5
      ├── @tonconnect/isomorphic-eventsource@0.0.2
      ├── @tonconnect/isomorphic-fetch@0.0.3
      └── @tonconnect/protocol@2.2.6

• OS: any os with telegram mini app support
• Any browser if TMA is turned off

Additional context

In my app I also wrap everything into SDKProvider from '@telegram-apps/sdk-react', but it doesn't affect the error, I also tried fixing by aliasing in vite.config.ts:

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [preact()],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'react': 'preact/compat',
      'react-dom/test-utils': 'preact/test-utils',
      'react-dom': 'preact/compat',
      'react/jsx-runtime': 'preact/jsx-runtime'
    }
  }
});

It didn't help, also tried redefining global object:

  window.React = {
    __SECRET_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED: {
      ReactCurrentOwner: {
        current: { something: 'hello' }
      }
    }
  };

It didn't help either

I see something similar over there: excalidraw/excalidraw#5909 (comment)
Looks like @tonconnect/ui-react should ship it's own version of react with react internal stuff, something like this at vite.config.ts

rollupOptions: {
      external: ['react', 'react-dom', '@tonconnect/ui'],
      output: {
        globals: {
          react: 'React',
          'react-dom': 'ReactDOM',
          'react-dom/client': 'ReactDOMClient',
          'react/jsx-runtime': 'ReactJSXRuntime',
          '@tonconnect/ui': 'TON_CONNECT_UI'
        }
      }
    }

I'll try to patch and will report back

btw, that's how they fixed it:

Hi @T-Damer , I am facing the same issue while integrating the tonWallet in my preact app. Can you please share the link to your sandbox again as its now showing up. It would be of great help.

Hey, I decided to patch their code, check my PR

Maybe someone has already created a dedicated solution for this problem in a separate package?
