I know that in Node.js, when you require some file with variables or functions, from the second time it loaded from the memory.
This concept is the same in import in R
React is UI library. It isn't related to import
keyword. Any available JavaScript features can be used together with React, including import
- or require
, if it's available.
The question is about ES vs CommonJS modules. The former are universal, the latter are primarily used in Node but also suppored by Webpack and other bundlers, so both import
and require
can potentially be used in React application.
Can i load multiply variables or functions using import, and it will load from the memory in the second time?
This describes caching behaviour that is specific to all JavaScript modules, including ESM import
. A module is evaluated once, the export is cached and can be used on subsequent import.
