Is it time to forget about useCallback & memo?
|
Hey friend, This is one of the most exciting updates in the React ecosystem: the React Compiler βοΈ. I am incredibly excited because we can now use the Next.js 15 RC βοΈ with this compiler and eliminate many React hooks we've been using, such as useCallback, useMemo, memo, and more.

It analyzes your components and optimizes them for performance, reducing the need for manual memoization with hooks πͺ like These hooks are currently used to prevent unnecessary re-renders of components based on whether their props or state have truly changed. React Compiler will optimize your React code provided you follow the Rules of React βοΈ. Now, not using hooks inside a function, function should always return the same output etc. are all part of the rules. These are rules we're aware of. It can reduce the need for developers to manually add memoization code. For example, you may not need to add useCallback and useMemo everywhere as React is going to optimize that for you. Here is an example, How you can get Next.js 15 React Compiler for a new project:How can you enable React Compiler?There are 2 modes:
𧩠Opt-in mode: React Compiler can be enabled in annotation mode, which allows developers to control which components are optimized. This is seen in the left terminal. ⨠Compile all components: Setting it to true will get all components to get optimized. Is React Compiler a Silver Bullet?While React Compiler is a powerful tool, it's essential to remember:
