Auto minify depreciation

[odd river]

Hello, I was emailed that cloudflare will depreciate the auto minify feature. and I wanna ask, how do I know if nextJS automatically does this?

[steep kindle]

it does

auto minify was only for:

1. legacy stuff from 10+ years ago
2. lazy devs without a framework that just put the raw JS in the page tree

[odd river]

can you please link me to a source?

[steep kindle]

No, any framework in this millenia has minified their JS

you can also literally google "does nextjs minify js" and the first result confirms it

[odd river]

problem is, that it does not specify which version does that. and is it only JS? what about html and css?

[odd river]

I'm guessing it compiles to HTML and CSS right? so no human error happens

auto minification breaks anything newer than 10 years old. if you are using it for anything recent you should turn it off

[odd river]

even if I'm using babel as a compiler?

[upbeat moth]

is it more recent than 10 years ago?

[odd river]

Initial release: September 28, 2014

[upbeat moth]

is the version you are using released >= 10 years ago?

[odd river]

nah

[upbeat moth]

then turn off auto minification and literally and js compiler that is not that old will do minification

[odd river]

ok thanks ❤️
