Introduction to Active Imports

Active Imports is a powerful library enabling dynamic and modular imports in your application. This makes your application more maintainable, scalable, and flexible. In this blog post, we will dive deep into Active Imports and explore dozens of its useful APIs with comprehensive code snippets. By the end, you will have everything you need to integrate Active Imports into your own projects.

Key APIs of Active Imports

1. `activeImport` Function

The activeImport function allows you to import modules dynamically. Below is an example:

import { activeImport } from 'active-imports';
async function loadModule() {
  const module = await activeImport('moduleName');
  module.doSomething();
}
loadModule();

2. `configureImport` Function

The configureImport function sets configurations for active imports. Example usage:

import { configureImport } from 'active-imports';
configureImport({
  modulePath: './modules',
  cache: true,
});

3. `preloadModules` Function

This function preloads specified modules to improve performance during runtime:

import { preloadModules } from 'active-imports';
preloadModules(['moduleA', 'moduleB', 'moduleC']);

4. `getImportedModule` Function

Retrieve a previously imported module using:

import { getImportedModule } from 'active-imports';
const moduleA = getImportedModule('moduleA'); moduleA.doSomething();

App Example Using Active Imports

Let’s create a simple app that dynamically imports and uses a utility module.

import { activeImport, configureImport, preloadModules } from 'active-imports';
// Configure Active Imports configureImport({
  modulePath: './utils',
  cache: true,
});
// Preload commonly used modules preloadModules(['logger', 'auth']);
async function runApp() {
  // Dynamically import a logger module
  const logger = await activeImport('logger');
  logger.log('App started');

  // Dynamically import an authentication module
  const auth = await activeImport('auth');
  auth.login('user', 'password');
}
runApp();

In the example above, we set up our module path and cache using configureImport, preloaded the logger and auth modules with preloadModules, and then dynamically imported and used these modules within our runApp function.
