avoidTDZ {{< new-in "0.78.0" >}}
: There is/was a bug in WebKit with severe performance issue with the tracking of TDZ checks in JavaScriptCore. Enabling this flag removes the TDZ and `const` assignment checks and may improve performance of larger JS codebases until the WebKit fix is in widespread use. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199866
shims {{< new-in "0.81.0" >}}
: This option allows swapping out a component with another. A common use case is to load dependencies like React from a CDN (with _shims_) when in production, but running with the full bundled `node_modules` dependency during development:
```
{{ $shims := dict "react" "js/shims/react.js" "react-dom" "js/shims/react-dom.js" }}
{{ $js = $js | js.Build dict "shims" $shims }}
```
The _shim_ files may look like these:
```js
// js/shims/react.js
module.exports = window.React;
```
```js
// js/shims/react-dom.js
module.exports = window.ReactDOM;
```
With the above, these imports should work in both scenarios:
```js
import * as React from 'react'
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
```

#### Shimming a JS library
It's a common practice to load external libraries using a content delivery network (CDN) rather than importing all packages in a single JS file. To load scripts from a CDN with Hugo, you'll need to shim the libraries as follows. In this example, `react` and `react-dom` will be shimmed.
First, add React and ReactDOM [CDN script tags](https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html#tip-minify-javascript-for-production) in your HTML template files. Then create `assets/js/shims/react.js` and `assets/js/shims/react-dom.js` with the following contents:
```js
// In assets/js/shims/react.js
module.exports = window.React;
// In assets/js/shims/react-dom.js
module.exports = window.ReactDOM;
```
Finally, add the following to your project's `package.json`:
```json
{
"browser": {
"react": "./assets/js/shims/react.js",
"react-dom": "./assets/js/shims/react-dom.js"
}
}
```
This tells Hugo's `js.Build` command to look for `react` and `react-dom` in the project's `assets/js/shims` folder. Note that the `browser` field in your `package.json` file will cause React and ReactDOM to be excluded from your JavaScript bundle. Therefore, **it is unnecessary to add them to the `js.Build` command's `externals` argument.**
That's it! You should now have a browser-friendly JS which can use external JS libraries.
