async-component

AsyncComponent is a simple wrapper for loading React Components using Javascript dynamic imports.

Install

$ npm i @runmeetly/async-component

$ yarn add @runmeetly/async-component

Why

Dynamic module imports are the future of Javascript, and making it easy to use inside of React - the leading Javascript framework - will help improve the ecosystem overall.

See information like this and this for more information.

How

There are two ways to use Async components, DefaultAsyncComponent and NamedAsyncComponent.

For default imports, instead of this:

import React from "react";
import Code from "./path/to/Code";

export class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <Code />;
  }
}

You can do this:

import React from "react";
import { DefaultAsyncComponent } from "@runmeetly/async-component";

const AsyncCode = DefaultAsyncComponent(() => import("./path/to/Code"));

export class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <AsyncCode />;
  }
}

For named imports, instead of this:

import React from "react";
import { NamedCode } from "./path/to/Code";

export class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <NamedCode />;
  }
}

You can do this:

import React from "react";
import { NamedAsyncComponent } from "@runmeetly/async-component";

const AsyncNamedCode = NamedAsyncComponent(async () => {
  const module = await import("./path/to/Code");
  return module.NamedCode;
});

export class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <AsyncNamedCode />;
  }
}
