esri-loader
A tiny library to load ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript AMD modules in modern JavaScript frameworks and bundlers.
What is esri-loader?
Esri-loader is a small JavaScript library that facilitates loading the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript's AMD modules in applications built with modern frameworks and bundlers. It solves the problem of integrating the ArcGIS SDK, which uses Dojo's module system, into non-Dojo applications by providing a simple API to dynamically load modules from the CDN or custom URLs. This enables developers to use ArcGIS mapping capabilities without including the entire SDK in their build bundle.
Frontend and full-stack developers building mapping applications with frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue, who need to integrate ArcGIS Maps SDK functionality without adopting Dojo. It's also useful for teams working on server-side rendered applications or those prioritizing lazy loading for performance.
Developers choose esri-loader because it offers a lightweight, framework-agnostic way to integrate the ArcGIS Maps SDK with minimal configuration. It enables lazy loading for faster initial loads, works with any bundler, and provides flexibility to load specific SDK versions or custom builds, all without requiring deep Dojo expertise.
