turbo (experimental)

Warning: These features are experimental and will only work with next --turbo.

webpack loaders

Currently, Turbopack supports a subset of webpack's loader API, allowing you to use some webpack loaders to transform code in Turbopack.

To configure loaders, add the names of the loaders you've installed and any options in next.config.js, mapping file extensions to a list of loaders:

module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    turbo: {
      rules: {
        // Option format
        '*.md': [
          {
            loader: '@mdx-js/loader',
            options: {
              format: 'md',
            },
          },
        ],
        // Option-less format
        '*.mdx': ['@mdx-js/loader'],
      },
    },
  },
}

Then, given the above configuration, you can use transformed code from your app:

import MyDoc from './my-doc.mdx'
 
export default function Home() {
  return <MyDoc />
}

Resolve Alias

Through next.config.js, Turbopack can be configured to modify module resolution through aliases, similar to webpack's resolve.alias configuration.

To configure resolve aliases, map imported patterns to their new destination in next.config.js:

module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    turbo: {
      resolveAlias: {
        underscore: 'lodash',
        mocha: { browser: 'mocha/browser-entry.js' },
      },
    },
  },
}

This aliases imports of the underscore package to the lodash package. In other words, import underscore from 'underscore' will load the lodash module instead of underscore.

Turbopack also supports conditional aliasing through this field, similar to Node.js's conditional exports. At the moment only the browser condition is supported. In the case above, imports of the mocha module will be aliased to mocha/browser-entry.js when Turbopack targets browser environments.

For more information and guidance for how to migrate your app to Turbopack from webpack, see Turbopack's documentation on webpack compatibility.
