Dynamic Imports (import())
What is a key limitation of dynamic imports compared to static imports?
A key limitation of dynamic imports is reduced tree shaking at the export level: 1) Static imports allow bundlers to determine exactly which exports are used at build time, 2) Dynamic imports typically require loading the entire module, even if only specific exports are used, 3) Modern bundlers can't optimize away unused exports as effectively with dynamic imports, 4) This can lead to larger bundle sizes for dynamically imported modules, 5) Some bundlers have partial solutions but they're not as effective as with static imports, 6) This limitation requires developers to consider module granularity more carefully, 7) For optimal performance, modules that are dynamically imported should be relatively small and focused, 8) This trade-off between dynamic loading and fine-grained tree shaking is important to consider.
