"the compiler is real in our experience" - Dan Abramov

if you use the official client you’re running the compiled code :)

Cool, what's the path to get 90+% of React projects using it? Do that and we can stop talking about highlights flashing.

danabra.mov•114 days ago

it’s to add it as an npm dependency and to babel config, similar to how we did it

danabra.mov•114 days ago

here’s how to install and enable it. works for old react versions too https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler#installation

If I wanted to adopt in a large (1m+ loc) existing codebase, where the dependency array is wrong in many places (eslint-disable-line, not my doing!) what's the best path forward? Fix all the dependency arrays first? Or can I just drop them in favour of the compiler?

danabra.mov•114 days ago

iirc the compiler just bails out when you’re breaking the rules so you should be able to enable it

wicky.nillia.ms•114 days ago

Oh interesting. Do you happen to know at what level it will bail - module, component, hook call?

fancypenguin.party•114 days ago

Slow by default, fast if you add a tool will never get us to acceptable UX goals. Needs to be the default.

fredkiss.dev•114 days ago

Isn't that the objective to be the default ? the compiler is still in beta so that's why it needs to be installed as a dependency for now.

There’s literally a blog post that shares the status and roadmap to getting to recommended as the default for all apps

ricky.fm•114 days ago

Like I don’t know how you think a change like this should land, but you can’t just land it by default without taking feedback from both apps and libraries to make sure all the bases are covered and feedback addressed

ricky.fm•114 days ago

We can’t just say “it works for us, it’s the default now, good luck have fun” like come on be serious

danabra.mov•114 days ago

frameworks will add it as a default once it’s out of beta, see roadmap here https://react.dev/blog/2024/10/21/react-compiler-beta-release#roadmap-to-stable

Is there a plan to release a Vite plugin that doesn't rely on Babel?
