Loadable Components vs Code Splitting

What are loadable components and how do they differ from code splitting?

Loadable components are a way to dynamically import components in React, allowing for code splitting. Code splitting is a broader technique that splits your code into smaller chunks, which can be loaded on demand.

Can you explain how to implement loadable components in a React app?

Sure! You can use the @loadable/component package. First, install it, then import your component like this: const LoadableComponent = loadable(() => import('./MyComponent')); This will load MyComponent only when it's needed.

What are the benefits of using loadable components over traditional code splitting?

Loadable components provide better control over loading states and allow for more granular loading of components, improving user experience by reducing initial load times.

Are there any downsides to using loadable components?

One downside is that it can add complexity to your codebase, and if not managed properly, it may lead to performance issues due to too many small chunks being loaded.
