Production-ready lazy loading with Static Bundle Helper (SBH). Smart caching, intelligent preloading, and seamless bundler integration. 19/19 tests passing, 4/4 bundlers supported.
Smart, dynamic imports that feel static. Improve your application's startup time and bundle size by loading modules only when needed.
In large JavaScript/TypeScript projects, static imports load all referenced modules at startup, even if only a subset is used during execution. This leads to:
Example: If you're importing lodash but only using debounce 10% of the time, it's still loaded 100% of the time.
@phantasm0009/lazy-import solves this by loading modules only when they're actually needed.
npm install @phantasm0009/lazy-import
# or
yarn add @phantasm0009/lazy-import
# or
pnpm add @phantasm0009/lazy-import
import lazy from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import';
// ❌ Before: Always loads, even if never used
import debounce from 'lodash/debounce';
// ✅ After: Loads only when needed
const loadDebounce = lazy('lodash/debounce');
async function setupSearch() {
const debounce = await loadDebounce();
return debounce.default(searchFunction, 300);
}
lazy(modulePath, options?)Creates a function that will lazily import a module when called.
import lazy from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import';
const loadModule = lazy('module-name');
const module = await loadModule();
Parameters:
modulePath (string): Path to the module to importoptions (object, optional): Configuration options
cache (boolean): Whether to cache the module. Default: trueretries (number): Number of retry attempts on failure. Default: 0retryDelay (number): Delay between retries in ms. Default: 1000onError (function): Custom error handler (error, attempt) => voidReturns: LazyImportFunction<T> with additional methods:
preload(): Preload the module without using itclearCache(): Clear the cached moduleisCached(): Check if the module is cachedlazy.preload(modulePath, options?)Preloads a module without using it immediately.
// Preload in the background
await lazy.preload('heavy-module');
// Later, use it instantly (already cached)
const module = await lazy('heavy-module')();
lazy.all(modulePaths, options?)Import multiple modules at once.
const loadUtils = lazy.all({
debounce: 'lodash/debounce',
throttle: 'lodash/throttle',
cloneDeep: 'lodash/cloneDeep'
});
const { debounce, throttle, cloneDeep } = await loadUtils();
lazy.typed<T>(modulePath, options?)Creates a typed lazy import with full TypeScript inference.
interface LodashDebounce {
default: (func: Function, wait: number) => Function;
}
const loadDebounce = lazy.typed<LodashDebounce>('lodash/debounce');
const debounce = await loadDebounce();
lazy.clearAllCache()Clear all cached modules globally.
lazy.clearAllCache();
lazy.getCacheStats()Get cache statistics.
const stats = lazy.getCacheStats();
console.log(`Cached modules: ${stats.size}`);
console.log(`Module paths: ${stats.keys.join(', ')}`);
Transform lazy() calls into native import() statements at build time for optimal code-splitting and performance.
The Static Bundle Helper is a build-time plugin that transforms your development-friendly lazy() calls into production-optimized native import() statements. This gives you the best of both worlds:
lazy() syntax with full runtime featuresimport() with optimal bundler code-splitting// Input (Development)
const loadChart = lazy('chart.js', { retries: 3 });
const loadUtils = lazy('lodash/debounce');
// Output (Production)
const loadChart = __lazyImportHelper(
() => import(/* webpackChunkName: "chart" */ 'chart.js'),
{ retries: 3 }
);
const loadUtils = () => import(/* webpackChunkName: "lodash-debounce" */ 'lodash/debounce');
Our comprehensive test suite validates SBH across all major bundlers:
// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { viteLazyImport } from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
viteLazyImport({
chunkComment: true,
preserveOptions: true,
debug: false
}),
// ...other plugins
],
});
// rollup.config.js
import { rollupLazyImport } from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler';
export default {
input: 'src/main.js',
plugins: [
rollupLazyImport({
chunkComment: true,
preserveOptions: true,
stringLiteralsOnly: true
}),
// ...other plugins
],
};
// webpack.config.js
const { WebpackLazyImportPlugin } = require('@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler');
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new WebpackLazyImportPlugin({
chunkComment: true,
preserveOptions: true,
debug: false
}),
// ...other plugins
],
};
{
"plugins": [
["@phantasm0009/lazy-import/babel", {
"chunkComment": true,
"preserveOptions": true,
"stringLiteralsOnly": true,
"debug": false
}]
]
}
// esbuild.config.mjs
import { esbuildLazyImport } from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler';
await esbuild.build({
entryPoints: ['src/main.ts'],
plugins: [
esbuildLazyImport({
chunkComment: true,
preserveOptions: true,
debug: false
})
],
bundle: true,
outdir: 'dist'
});
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
chunkComment | boolean | true | Add webpack chunk name comments |
preserveOptions | boolean | true | Preserve lazy() options with helper functions |
stringLiteralsOnly | boolean | true | Only transform string literal module paths |
chunkNameTemplate | string | '[name]' | Template for generating chunk names |
debug | boolean | false | Enable debug logging |
importSpecifiers | string[] | ['lazy', 'default'] | Import specifiers to transform |
moduleNames | string[] | ['@phantasm0009/lazy-import'] | Module names to detect |
// Transform calls from custom modules
viteLazyImport({
moduleNames: ['@my-org/lazy-utils', 'custom-lazy'],
importSpecifiers: ['lazyLoad', 'dynamicImport']
})
// Customize chunk naming strategy
rollupLazyImport({
chunkNameTemplate: 'lazy-[name]-chunk',
chunkComment: true
})
// Different configs for different environments
viteLazyImport({
dev: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
build: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
})
where the chunk comment / magic string is added when the current bundler supports it.
3. **Optimization**: If the call site immediately invokes the loader (common pattern)…
```javascript
const echarts = await lazy('echarts')();
…SBH collapses the double call into a direct await import() when all options are defaults—saving bytes and an extra function hop.
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { viteLazyImport } from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
viteLazyImport({
chunkComment: true,
preserveOptions: true,
debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
}),
// ...other plugins
],
});
// rollup.config.mjs
import { rollupLazyImport } from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler';
export default {
input: 'src/main.ts',
plugins: [
rollupLazyImport({
chunkComment: true,
chunkNameTemplate: '[name]-[hash:8]'
}),
// ...other plugins
],
};
// webpack.config.js
const { WebpackLazyImportPlugin } = require('@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler');
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new WebpackLazyImportPlugin({
chunkComment: true,
preserveOptions: true
}),
// ...other plugins
],
};
{
"plugins": [
["@phantasm0009/lazy-import/babel", {
"chunkComment": true,
"preserveOptions": true,
"stringLiteralsOnly": true
}]
]
}
// esbuild.config.mjs
import { esbuildLazyImport } from '@phantasm0009/lazy-import/bundler';
await esbuild.build({
entryPoints: ['src/main.ts'],
plugins: [
esbuildLazyImport({
chunkComment: true,
debug: true
})
],
});
| Scenario | SBH Behavior |
|---|---|
Non-string specifier (lazy(pathVar)) | Leaves call untouched; falls back to runtime loading |
| Top-level await disabled | Keeps the wrapper function so you can call later |
| Option overrides | Injects a tiny inline helper that still respects timeout, retry, etc. |
| Mixed static + lazy imports | Both point to the same runtime instance, so no duplication—bundler will include the code in the dynamic chunk and the main bundle only once |
Analyze your codebase to see which modules would move to async bundles:
# Analyze current directory
npx lazy-import analyze
# Analyze specific directory with verbose output
npx lazy-import analyze --dir src --verbose
# Show potential chunk mapping
npx lazy-import analyze --extensions .js,.ts --exclude node_modules,test
Example output:
🔍 Lazy Import Analysis Report
📁 src/components/Dashboard.tsx
├─ Line 12: recharts → recharts (with options)
├─ Line 15: lodash → lodash
📁 src/utils/helpers.ts
├─ Line 8: moment → moment
├─ Line 23: three → three (with options)
📊 Summary:
• 4 lazy import(s) found
• 2 file(s) contain lazy imports
• 4 potential chunk(s) will be created
💡 To enable Static Bundle Helper:
Add the appropriate plugin to your bundler configuration.

const loadPuppeteer = lazy('puppeteer');
// Total: ~0KB loaded at startup
// Modules load only when actually used
