Find out how to import a JavaScript module dynamically
Have you ever felt the need to load a JavaScript module dynamically?
Maybe you’re trying to load something from a folder but you don’t know the name of the folder, you generate it dynamically.
But doing something like
import test from folder + '/test.js'
or
import test from `${folder}/test.js`
does not work.
You need to do a dynamic import, in this way:
const test = await import(folder + '/test.js')
I wrote more about this relatively new feature of JavaScript in JavaScript Dynamic Imports.
