Dynamic Imports (import())
What is the relationship between dynamic imports and JavaScript modules in Node.js?
Node.js has native support for dynamic imports in both CommonJS and ES modules: 1) Dynamic imports work in Node.js without special configuration in modern versions, 2) They can be used in ES module files (.mjs or with 'type': 'module'), 3) They also work in CommonJS modules, returning a Promise with the module exports, 4) This enables conditional module loading patterns in Node.js applications, 5) Performance considerations differ from browsers since modules are loaded from the filesystem, 6) The dynamic import() syntax is consistent between Node.js and browsers, enabling portable code, 7) Node.js caching behavior with dynamic imports follows the standard module caching rules, 8) This cross-environment support makes dynamic import a versatile tool for JavaScript developers.
