I remember when I started coding I would see some js files using require() to import modules and other files using import. This always confused me ...

Thanks for this article. I run into lots of nasty messages when I import commonJS libraries into my Angular (client) code. It works fine, but I'm sure I'm importing more than necessary ... and the ability to generate PDFs is too good a feature to give up.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

Cool
Why do we need to use require for dynamic or run time loading?
That's a great question.
So the way import works is that it runs at the start of a script since it is statically analyzed.
When you use require(), you can put it in a condition and only load that module based on a specific condition. Since require() can be invoked at any point in your code, this allows it to be dynamic.
