Can you use dynamic imports with TypeScript?
To use dynamic imports with TypeScript, you need to enable the esnext
module resolution in your tsconfig.json
file. Set the module
option to "esnext"
and the target
option to "es2017"
or a higher version:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "esnext",
"target": "es2017"
}
}
Once you’ve enabled the necessary settings, you can use the import()
syntax to dynamically import modules. The import()
function returns a promise that resolves to the module:
const modulePath = "./myModule.js";
import(modulePath)
.then((module) => {
// Use the module here
})
.catch((error) => {
// Handle any errors
});
Note that when using dynamic imports, the imported module is treated as a namespace object. You can access its exports using dot notation:
module.myExportedFunction();
Dynamic imports are especially useful when working with code splitting, lazy loading, or plugins in your TypeScript projects to improve performance and load modules only when needed.
