What is @next/bundle-analyzer?
The @next/bundle-analyzer package is a tool designed for Next.js applications that allows developers to visualize the size of webpack output files with an interactive zoomable treemap. It helps in identifying which components or libraries are contributing most to the bundle size, making it easier to optimize the application's performance by reducing unnecessary code.
Analyzing the bundle size
This code snippet demonstrates how to integrate @next/bundle-analyzer into a Next.js project. By wrapping the Next.js configuration with the withBundleAnalyzer function and setting the 'enabled' option based on an environment variable, developers can conditionally run the bundle analysis. When ANALYZE is set to 'true', the bundle analyzer will generate a report showing the size of the webpack output files.
const withBundleAnalyzer = require('@next/bundle-analyzer')({
enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === 'true'
});
module.exports = withBundleAnalyzer({});
