Resolve components asynchronously, with support for code splitting and advanced server side rendering use cases.

Overview

React-Async-Component is a powerful library designed for resolving React components asynchronously. It offers a robust solution for managing code splitting and server-side rendering without the constraints of specific build tools like Webpack or Babel. With a clean, easy-to-use Promise-based API, developers can efficiently load components as needed, improving application performance and user experience.

This library stands out by allowing for lazy loading of components and providing a smooth transition during loading or error states. It’s particularly beneficial for large applications that require optimized loading to enhance performance and minimize wait times.

Features

  • Supports Major Code Splitting APIs: Works seamlessly with popular code splitting methods such as import(), System.import, and require.ensure.

  • Loading and Error Components: Displays a customizable LoadingComponent while waiting for the async component to resolve, and an ErrorComponent in case of resolution failures.

  • Flash-of-Content Prevention: Eliminates flash-of-content issues by tracking components that have already been resolved, resulting in a smoother user experience.

  • Full Server Side Rendering Support: Facilitates server-side rendering without causing React checksum errors, allowing for client-side state rehydration.

  • Configurability: Offers a config object for the async component, enabling detailed control over the loading process and error handling.

  • Automatic ES2015 Module Resolution: Automatically detects and resolves ES2015 modules, reducing the chance of mistakes with .default exports.

  • Environment Detection: Allows custom environment detection, which is especially useful in settings like PhantomJS or ElectronJS for pre-rendering React applications.

  • Documentation and API Clarity: Comprehensive API documentation and clear usage examples make it easy to integrate and use effectively within applications.
