is it possible to use the

import()

function for dynamic imports? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#Dynamic_Imports

Yes, you can do that, just use external declaration You need something like (not sure that code is correct)

external fun <T> import(path: String): Promise<T>

Oh ok, I was trying to use

js()

and was getting "javascript syntax error"

I'll have to test it out, but do you know if this lets webpack split the code so it can be loaded on demand?

Ok I tried defining the external

import

like you posted and when I try to build I get

syntax error

(in the javascript)

any error messages?

what is in compiled code?

Also, what kind T of generic did you use?

Ahhh

I see what you mean

If I try to run DCE I also getting syntax error

but it compiles without it

looks like a compiler bug

I created an issue about this DCE bug https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-28523

Ah ok, nice find. I was applying the DCE plugin

I got a chance to finally run some tests, even though it compiles with DCE plugin disabled, the import statements fail with "Cannot find module", even though they are included in

package.json
