Can dynamic imports be used outside of React.lazy? Where can they be useful?

Dynamic imports (import()) can be used not only with React.lazy for lazy loading components. They are useful in any cases where you need to defer loading a module until it is actually used, to reduce the initial bundle size and speed up page loading.

Examples of using dynamic imports outside React.lazy:

• Loading utilities or libraries only when needed (for example, a date handling library if the user opens the relevant section).
• Importing configurations or data that depend on runtime conditions.
• Implementing plugins or modules that are loaded dynamically depending on user actions.

Example:

button.addEventListener('click', async () => {
  const { formatDate } = await import('./dateUtils.js');
  console.log(formatDate(new Date()));
});

Thus, dynamic imports allow optimizing loading and improving application performance.
