Does the React compiler do tree shaking ?

Does React compiler do tree shaking or it will be able to do tree shaking in the future?

Afaik it doesn't do that and doesn't plan to

The React Compiler only operates on files in isolation, it doesn't see or modify your app's module graph. It's currently exposed as a Babel plugin, and Babel plugins do not have this ability.

Tree shaking is a bundler feature, and React Compiler is not a bundler.

it seems it do dead code elimination, see https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/main/compiler/docs/DESIGN_GOALS.md

There are no current plans to add tree shaking to the compiler.
