Speed Up Compilation of React.js and Next.js Apps

Introduction:

Million js is a library that can be used to speed up the compilation of React and Next js apps. It does this by using a custom compiler that is optimized for performance. Million js also uses a custom virtual DOM that is more efficient than the default React virtual DOM Million js enhances React / Next js performance up to 70%.

How to use Million js:

To use Million js, you need to install it and then add the block() function to your React code. The block() function takes a React component as its input and returns a new component that is optimized for performance.

Here is an example of how to use Million.js:

Normal react snippet

export default function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <p>Hello world</p>
    </>
  );
}

Same code snippet with Million.js

import { block } from "million/react";
export default block(function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <p>Hello world</p>
    </>
  );
});

The block() function will optimize the App component for performance. This will make the compilation of the React app faster.

How Million.js works:

Million.js works by using a custom compiler that is optimized for performance. The compiler uses several techniques to speed up the compilation of React code, including:

  • Using a custom virtual DOM that is more efficient than the default React virtual DOM.
  • Optimizing the code for specific browsers and devices.
  • Reducing the amount of code that needs to be compiled.

Installing Million.js:

You can install Million.js using the following command:

npm

npm install million

pnpm

pnpm install million

yarn

yarn add million

Using Million.js with Next.js:

If you are using Next.js, you need to rename your Next.config.js file to Next.config.mjs and then add the following code to the file:

import million from "million/compiler";

const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
};

export default million.next(nextConfig);

This will make Next js use the Million js compiler and you can easily compile react code up to 70% faster.
