Why did you render
This is a simple example of how to use why-did-you-render within a Next.js app.
We are essentially extending webpack config to allow the monkey patched React
version of WDYR in development mode and adding to our application
by importing wdyr.js
at the top of Next.js _app.js
.
By default, all pure components will be tracked, but you can add
Component.whyDidYouRender = true
to regular function components in case you need.
In this example, the header component will rerender despite the state staying the same.
You can see why-did-you-render
console logs about this redundant re-render in the developer console.
When using Typescript, call the file wdyr.ts
instead and add the following line to the top of the file to import the package's types:
/// <reference types="@welldone-software/why-did-you-render" />
Deploy your own
Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz
How to use
Execute create-next-app
with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example with-why-did-you-render with-why-did-you-render-app
yarn create next-app --example with-why-did-you-render with-why-did-you-render-app
pnpm create next-app --example with-why-did-you-render with-why-did-you-render-app
Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
