Dynamic Imports (import())

How does this webpack configuration enhance dynamic imports?

// webpack.config.js (simplified)
module.exports = {
  // ... other configuration
  output: {
    filename: '[name].[contenthash].js',
    chunkFilename: '[name].[contenthash].js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
  },
  optimization: {
    splitChunks: {
      chunks: 'all',
      cacheGroups: {
        vendors: {
          test: /[\\]node_modules[\\]/,
          name: 'vendors',
          priority: -10
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

It disables dynamic imports
It optimizes common dependencies into shared chunks
This webpack configuration enhances dynamic imports by optimizing common dependencies into shared chunks: 1) The splitChunks optimization extracts common code into shared bundles, 2) The cacheGroups configuration creates a separate 'vendors' chunk for node_modules dependencies, 3) This prevents duplication of common libraries across dynamically imported chunks, 4) Content hashing in filenames enables efficient long-term caching, 5) This approach reduces total download size when multiple dynamic imports share dependencies, 6) It's particularly valuable for larger applications with many dynamic imports, 7) The configuration doesn't interfere with the automatic code splitting from dynamic imports, 8) This represents a production-ready approach to optimizing applications with dynamic imports.
It forces all dynamic imports into a single file
It prevents code splitting
