As stated, earlier Next.js 12 has utilized the features of Rust-based complier SWC in place of Babel in order to execute JavaScript or TypeScript. Moreover, with the version, the developers get full support for the applications having custom Babel configuration.
So, no need to worry about the compilation because Next.JS 12 comes with complete compatibility.
To minify the JavaScript with 7 times faster execution, developers can select SWC over Terser. The required flag in next.config.js is:
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
swcMinify: true
}
With Middleware, the developer becomes able to use code over configuration. As Next.js has introduced Middleware, hence here you will get the flexibility to run the code prior to the completion of the request.
Further, the modification can be made by, redirecting, rewriting, adding headers, or even streaming HTML based on the response from the user.
Middleware is useful for the features that contain logic. These features are like
Furthermore, Middleware follows defined runtime and it supports APIs like fetch. Also, it works exceptionally well by using the next start. Further, it efficiently works for Edge platforms such as Vercel that uses Edge functions.
If you are looking to use Middleware in Next.JS, follow the given code after creating a file pages/_middleware.js
// pages/_middleware.js
export function middleware(req, ev) {
return new Response('Hello, world!')
}
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
experimental: {
concurrentFeatures: true
}
}
fallback: true”. Further, it also maintains the older behavior of the fallback state to non-crawler agents.
