Dynamic Imports (import())

What pattern is demonstrated in this code using dynamic imports?

const loadComponent = async () => {
  if (featureFlags.newUI) {
    return import('./new-component.js');
  } else {
    return import('./legacy-component.js');
  }
};

const { default: Component } = await loadComponent();

Module bundling
Conditional module loading
This code demonstrates the conditional module loading pattern with dynamic imports: 1) Different modules are loaded based on a runtime condition (featureFlags.newUI), 2) This enables implementing feature flags that affect which code is loaded, 3) Only the needed implementation is loaded, saving bandwidth and parse time, 4) The code maintains a consistent interface regardless of which module is loaded, 5) This pattern is commonly used for A/B testing, feature toggling, and progressive enhancement, 6) It allows for graceful fallbacks or alternative implementations, 7) This approach is particularly valuable for implementing experimental features or migrations, 8) The await syntax simplifies working with the Promise-based API in modern JavaScript.
