inlineRequires and experimentalImportSupport

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Question

What is the current behavior? Mystery

What is the expected behavior? It should be well documented

Hello, I really need to understund how inlineRequires and experimentalImportSupport works but can’t find documentation abount it. Where I can read about it? Or can somebode to describe how it works?

Is inlineRequires automatically doing next?

let VeryExpensive = null;
if (VeryExpensive == null) {
  VeryExpensive = require('./VeryExpensive').default;
}

Or steel need to write that?

Is inlineRequires working for native modules? How it detecting when need to import file/init native module?

Hey the concept is pretty much straight forward. You import modules inline in simple terms load data on demand. This will help to cut the size of the main bundle and load the very less used code on demand or only when required.

I believe this is only for Js files & Js bundle. Because metro can bundle only Js files and not the native code.
