Hello, regarding new features abiut 3rd party JS loader in next.js, is it only available starting on Next.js v14 and beyond, because the docs page didn’t mention specifically what version of Next.js it can be used from.

Also, is there any plans on backward compatibility to previous version?


Thanks in advance!

o.O i haven't seen this before
i found a pr that made some of them... so id thing v13 might work: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/52909 (but i has no idea)
wait looking at the releases, the only stable version is v14: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/third-parties?activeTab=versions

I thought so, since it’s also on canary branch of nextjs

But I do really hope that they’ll make this into separate packages do that previous version can make use of it

it is a separate package... so you could try the v13 canary version with v13, but idk

TBH I’d be glad if it supports till v10 hahaha
because I had projects that used v10 and v12

you really should update them

It would be such a pain to migrate since it’s codebase became too large
Might need to rewrite as well

If you're referring to pages directory, this is supported. You can still upgrade to next 14 to get updates for the pages directory.
This is the pages version of the link you shared: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/optimizing/third-party-libraries
