create-webpack-split-point

Webpack 2 exposes import() a async module loader that will automatically define a split point and create a new bundle in your code that will only be loaded if the system.import is executed. React components that are not part of initial paint are a taylor made use case for this. This module aims to abstract a way the work of creating one of these components.

use

apm install create-webpack-split-point

In atom right click inside of a component you wish to turn into async bundled split point and select Create Webpack Split Point. This wil create two files, index.js which exports the async component and component-async which writes the comopnent that loads the split bundle in componentDidMount.

For example if you exexcuted in /components/header/header.js. Then in the place you want to use the async header component you could simply import from the directory.

import Header from "./components/header";

As soon as componentDidMount in Header is fired import will be called and it will asynchronously load the bundle containing the Header component and render it on the page, before that a Component returning null will be rendered.
