webpack代码拆分：它是否提供浏览器缓存

Question

When we use lazy-loading for downloading specific web modules, eg:

import('./polyfills').then(render);

Will the browser cache these dynamically loaded files and does webpack use the cached version on subsequent requests?

With bundle splitting I know the browser will cache the loaded files; I assume this should be the same for code splitting, but I'm not sure.

Answer 1

Cache-Control response header specifies if and for how long a resource can be cached. Your server is responsible for setting it.

When webpack-generated code encounters a dynamic import, it fetches and then executes it. Whatever is exposed by the module is then available as long as the page isn't closed/reloaded and when the same import is encountered again those in-memory bindings are used (the module isn't refetched or executed again).
