What is code splitting and how can I implement it?

What is code splitting and how can I implement it in my project?

Code splitting is a technique used in web development to split your code into smaller chunks, which can be loaded on demand. This improves load time and performance. You can implement it using tools like Webpack or by using dynamic imports in JavaScript.

Can you show me an example of how to use dynamic imports?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

function loadComponent() {
    return import('./MyComponent.js');
}

loadComponent().then((MyComponent) => {
    // Use MyComponent here
});

What are the benefits of using code splitting?

The main benefits include faster initial load times, reduced bundle size, and improved user experience as users only load the code they need.

Are there any downsides to code splitting?

Yes, potential downsides include increased complexity in your build process and the possibility of loading delays if not managed properly.
