Dynamic Imports (import())

What capability is demonstrated by combining import.meta.url with dynamic imports?

// Using import.meta.url with dynamic imports
async function loadPlugin(pluginName) {
  const basePath = new URL('./plugins/', import.meta.url).href;
  try {
    return await import(basePath + pluginName + '.js');
  } catch (error) {
    console.warn(`Plugin ${pluginName} failed to load:`, error);
    return null;
  }
}

Module validation
Relative path resolution
This code demonstrates relative path resolution using import.meta.url with dynamic imports: 1) import.meta.url provides the absolute URL of the current module, 2) This allows constructing reliable relative paths for dynamic imports, 3) The URL constructor properly resolves the relative path against the current module's location, 4) This approach works consistently across different environments, including browsers and Node.js, 5) It's particularly useful when the base path might vary depending on how the application is deployed, 6) This pattern enables more portable and robust dynamic import paths, 7) Without import.meta.url, dynamic imports with relative paths might resolve inconsistently, 8) This represents a best practice for dynamic path construction in modern JavaScript modules.
