Next Bundle Analyzer

Motivation

Webpack Bundle Analyzer
is a great tool to analyze the bundles of web applications built on top of
Webpack but trying to use it to optimize a
large website with many pages can be tricky because you don't know which pages
the different chunks belong to.

There is an official wrapper dedicated to Next.js,
@next/bundle-analyzer,
but it only allows (for now) to generate standard reports for the server and
client builds of Next.

This library generates customized Webpack Bundle Analyzer reports in order to
make them easier to use for Next users.

Installation

We recommend installing next-bundle-analyzer as dev dependency:

``bash
npm install -D next-bundle-analyzer
`

or

`bash
yarn add -D next-bundle-analyzer
`

Usage

`js
// next.config.js

const shouldAnalyzeBundles = process.env.ANALYZE === true;

let nextConfig = {
// [...]
};

if (shouldAnalyzeBundles) {
const withNextBundleAnalyzer =
require('next-bundle-analyzer')(/ options come there /);
nextConfig = withNextBundleAnalyzer(nextConfig);
}

module.exports = nextConfig;
`

⚠️ If next-bundle-analyzer has been installed as dev dependency, itshould be
required conditionally to prevent breaking Next.js in production.
