Introduction to JavaScript Import Maps
Learn about Import Maps, the new and powerful web standard that enables bare import specifiers to work inside the browser.
ECMAScript 6 (ES6) modules have been in use by the JavaScript community for a long time. Despite its native browser support since 2017, developers were not convinced to use them natively due to technical limitations in browsers—they operated internally, but were squashed into script bundles for production.
Here are Import Maps, designed to fill the missing gap, aiming to resolve remaining interoperability requirements and meeting developers where they are.
This talk will explain how Import Maps work and when they may be adopted. It will showcase the integration and corresponding APIs in TYPO3 as of version 12 and provide a view into what's coming next.
