Code splitting

Code Splitting is required if you want to make your "home" bundle as lightweight as possible. A framework must set up accordingly. FuseBox offers great functionality to loading split bundles without any configuration or/nor magical commments

Splitting is universal, meaning that you can lazy load them on a server (nodejs) as well.

You can find an example project here

Basics

FuseBox does as much as possible to automate the process.

Physical code splitting (when the bundles are actually created) works ONLY in Quantum. For development purposes your split bundles will be present in the master bundle BY DESIGN

Just use dynamic import statement! It's that simple, FuseBox will do the heavy lifting for you

import("./routes/about/AboutComponent");

Development version will be left untouched, however, when you will run it against Quantum, it will create a file 167ae727.js which will contain all dependencies that do not cross with the project and/or other bundles. e.g if you are using moment library only in that bundle the entire module will be moved to 167ae727.js

FuseBox will detect which modules and files are shared and which belong only to this specific bundle. Long story short - let FuseBox take care of that.

Splitting packages

You can also split packages

const moment = await import("moment");

If moment wasn't used anywhere directly (synchronously) it will be split into a different bundle and lazy loaded for you. Just like that. No configuration required

Named bundles

Instead of importing by path, you can import by path for your convenience.

fuse
  .bundle("app")
  .split("named_bundle", "routes/entryPointWithoutOpeningDot.tsx");

const namedBundle = await import("named_bundle");

Configuring

You may need to configure how FuseBox resolves your bundles.

browser key will help FuseBox to resolve your bundles in browser, and server on server accordingly. dest customises the output: it's consistent with our output configuration:

const fuse = FuseBox.init({
  homeDir: "src",
  output: "dist/$name.js",
});

fuse
  .bundle("app")
  .splitConfig({
    browser: "/static/bundles/",
    server: "dist/static/bundles/",
    dest: "bundles/",
  })
  .instructions(`> [app.tsx]`);

fuse.run();

The bundle mapping path for browser/server can be dynamically resolved at runtime using the Quantum option Runtime Bundle Mapping
