Dynamic dependencies within Lino React¶

source: lino_react/react/components/Base

For faster load on regions with slower internet connection, we divide the whole Lino React into different parts most of which are loaded parallely. Third party modules are packed into different chunks as well.

The main part is loaded together with the runtime chunk. And other chunks are loaded later on. Here we are going to name different chunks, mention their priority on load time and list what they contain.

But before that a bit more on the inner workings of the things that make this feature easy to implement and maintain.

Each module must have a module level constant exModulePromises of type ImportPool.
Which must be registered on a RegisterImportPool().
Any function component can call RegisterImportPool.resolve() passing in the names of required module by the function.
Classes that require external modules must set an array of module names as an static property DynDep.requiredModules.

Chunk name, priority & list of content:

runtime_chunk (priority = 99):

Nothing worth noting as the Objects in this chunk does mostly background work.
