Dynamic Imports (import())

What is the benefit of this route configuration approach?

// Vue.js route-based code splitting
const routes = [
  {
    path: '/',
    component: () => import('./views/Home.vue')
  },
  {
    path: '/about',
    component: () => import('./views/About.vue')
  },
  {
    path: '/user/:id',
    component: () => import('./views/User.vue'),
    // Nested routes use the same pattern
    children: [
      {
        path: 'profile',
        component: () => import('./views/UserProfile.vue')
      }
    ]
  }
];

Each route component is loaded only when needed
This route configuration enables each route component to be loaded only when needed: 1) Components are loaded on-demand when a user navigates to a specific route, 2) Initial page load only includes the core application and current route, 3) This reduces the initial bundle size and improves startup performance, 4) The pattern works seamlessly with nested routes for complex navigation structures, 5) Framework routers typically handle the loading states and error cases automatically, 6) This approach scales well as the application grows with more routes, 7) Most modern frontend frameworks support this pattern natively in their routing libraries, 8) It represents one of the most common and effective uses of dynamic imports in single-page applications.
