Coherent.js Production Guide

🚀 Production-Ready Web Development

Coherent.js delivers exceptional performance (247 renders/sec) with a hybrid FP/OOP architecture that's optimized for production deployments.

📊 Bundle Optimization

Tree Shaking Benefits

Coherent.js uses modular exports to ensure minimal bundle sizes:

// ❌ Avoid: Bundles everything (~128.8KB)
import DevTools from '@coherent.js/devtools';

// ✅ Recommended: Tree-shakable imports (~27KB)
import { logComponentTree } from '@coherent.js/devtools/visualizer';
import { createPerformanceDashboard } from '@coherent.js/devtools/performance';

Production Bundle Sizes

Feature	Bundle Size	Tree Shaking
Core Only	~800KB	✅ Essential
Core + State	~870KB	✅ Standard
Core + State + Forms	~940KB	✅ Enhanced
Full DevTools	~128.8KB	❌ Development Only
Selective DevTools	~27KB	✅ Production Safe

Optimization Configuration

All packages include sideEffects: false for optimal tree shaking:

{
  "sideEffects": false,
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "development": "./src/index.js",
      "import": "./dist/index.js",
      "require": "./dist/index.cjs"
    },
    "./components": {
      "development": "./src/components/index.js",
      "import": "./dist/components/index.js"
    }
  }
}

🏗️ Hybrid Architecture in Production

OOP State Management

// Production-ready state patterns
import { createFormState, createListState } from '@coherent.js/state';

const userForm = createFormState({
  name: '',
  email: ''
});

// Add validation (OOP encapsulation)
userForm.addValidator('email', (value) => {
  if (!value.includes('@')) return 'Invalid email';
});

FP Component Composition

// Pure functional components (100% cacheable)
import { layout, form, factories } from '@coherent.js/core';

const UserCard = ({ user }) => layout.card(
  user.name,
  [
    { p: { text: user.email } },
    factories.button('primary')({
      text: 'Edit',
      onclick: () => editUser(user)
    })
  ]
);

⚡ Performance Optimization

LRU Caching

Coherent.js automatically optimizes with LRU caching:

// Automatic route compilation caching (1000 entries)
// Automatic component rendering caching (1000 entries, 5min TTL)
// Achieves 247 renders/sec in benchmarks

SSR Streaming

// Stream large components for better TTFB
import { renderToStream } from '@coherent.js/core';

const stream = renderToStream(largeComponent, {
  enableStreaming: true,
  chunkSize: 1024
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  res.write(chunk);
}

🔧 Production Deployment

Environment Configuration

// production.js
export const config = {
  // Enable production optimizations
  enableCaching: true,
  enableCompression: true,
  enableSecurityHeaders: true,
  
  // Tree-shake devtools in production
  devtools: {
    enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
  },
  
  // Performance monitoring
  performance: {
    enableMetrics: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
    enableProfiling: false
  }
};

Bundle Analysis

Use our bundle analyzer to optimize your build:

# Analyze your Coherent.js bundle
node scripts/analyze-bundle-size.js

# Expected results:
# • Core: ~800KB (essential)
# • State: ~70KB (optional)
# • DevTools: ~13KB (development only)

🎯 Best Practices

1. Selective Imports

// ✅ Do: Import only what you need
import { renderToString } from '@coherent.js/core';
import { createFormState } from '@coherent.js/state';

// ❌ Don't: Import entire packages
import * as coherent from '@coherent.js/core';

2. Production Build Configuration

// vite.config.js
export default {
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      external: ['@coherent.js/devtools'], // Exclude devtools
      output: {
        manualChunks: {
          'coherent-core': ['@coherent.js/core'],
          'coherent-state': ['@coherent.js/state']
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

3. Performance Monitoring

// Development only
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  import { createPerformanceDashboard } from '@coherent.js/devtools/performance';
  
  const dashboard = createPerformanceDashboard();
  // Monitor your app's performance
}

📈 Migration Guide

From React

// React
const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);

// Coherent.js
const userState = createReactiveState({ user: null, loading: false });

// Components become pure functions
const UserComponent = () => ({
  div: {
    children: userState.get('loading') 
      ? { div: { text: 'Loading...' }}
      : UserProfile({ user: userState.get('user') })
  }
});

From Express

// Express
app.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
  const user = await getUser(req.params.id);
  res.json(user);
});

// Coherent.js API
const api = createCoherentAPI({
  routes: {
    'GET /users/:id': async ({ params }) => {
      const user = await getUser(params.id);
      return { status: 200, body: user };
    }
  },
  // Automatic LRU caching enabled
  enableSmartRouting: true
});
