+## Dynamic/Lazy Chunk Loading
+
+For this section, you need Webpack and Webpacker 4. Then enable `SplitChunks` as it is explained in [docs/webpack](webpack.md).
+
+[Dynamic code splitting](https://webpack.js.org/guides/code-splitting#dynamic-imports) enables you to conditionally request/run only the JS that you need. For example, if your site has a `searchBarComponent` on every page, you can reduce the page overhead by deferring the request for the `searchBarComponent` code until after the page has loaded, until the user has scrolled it into view, or until the user has clicked on an element.
+
+```js
+ function loadSearchBarComponent() {
+   return import(/* webpackChunkName: "searchBarComponent" */ './pathTo/searchBarComponent')
+ }
+```
+
+The comment you see above (`/* webpackChunkName */`) is not arbitrary, it is one of webpacks [magic comments](https://webpack.js.org/api/module-methods/#magic-comments). They can be used to fine-tune `import()` with settings such as `defer` or `prefetch`.
+
+**Warning**: You should not attempt to dynamically load anything from your `packs/` folder. Instead, try to make your `pack` scripts a hub from which you dynamically load `non-pack` scripts.

+# Integrations
+
+Webpacker ships with basic out-of-the-box integration for React, Angular, Vue and Elm.
+You can see a list of available commands/tasks by running `bundle exec rails webpacker`:
+
+## React
+
+To use Webpacker with [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/), create a
+new Rails 5.1+ app using `--webpack=react` option:
+
+```bash
+# Rails 5.1+
+rails new myapp --webpack=react
+```
+
+(or run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:react` in an existing Rails app already
+setup with Webpacker).
+
+The installer will add all relevant dependencies using Yarn, changes
+to the configuration files, and an example React component to your
+project in `app/javascript/packs` so that you can experiment with React right away.
+
+
+## Angular with TypeScript
+
+To use Webpacker with [Angular](https://angular.io/), create a
+new Rails 5.1+ app using `--webpack=angular` option:
+
+```bash
+# Rails 5.1+
+rails new myapp --webpack=angular
+```
+
+(or run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:angular` on a Rails app already
+setup with Webpacker).
+
+The installer will add the TypeScript and Angular core libraries using Yarn alongside
+a few changes to the configuration files. An example component written in
+TypeScript will also be added to your project in `app/javascript` so that
+you can experiment with Angular right away.
+
+By default, Angular uses a JIT compiler for development environment. This
+compiler is not compatible with restrictive CSP (Content Security
+Policy) environments like Rails 5.2+. You can use Angular AOT compiler
+in development with the [@ngtools/webpack](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ngtools/webpack#usage) plugin.
+
+Alternatively if you're using Rails 5.2+ you can enable `unsafe-eval` rule for your
+development environment. This can be done in the `config/initializers/content_security_policy.rb`
+with the following code:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.content_security_policy do |policy|
+  if Rails.env.development?
+    policy.script_src :self, :https, :unsafe_eval
+  else
+    policy.script_src :self, :https
+  end
+end
+```
+
+
+## Vue
+
+To use Webpacker with [Vue](https://vuejs.org/), create a
+new Rails 5.1+ app using `--webpack=vue` option:
+
+```bash
+# Rails 5.1+
+rails new myapp --webpack=vue
+```
+(or run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:vue` on a Rails app already setup with Webpacker).
+
+The installer will add Vue and its required libraries using Yarn alongside
+automatically applying changes needed to the configuration files. An example component will
+be added to your project in `app/javascript` so that you can experiment with Vue right away.
+
+If you're using Rails 5.2+ you'll need to enable `unsafe-eval` rule for your development environment.
+This can be done in the `config/initializers/content_security_policy.rb` with the following
+configuration:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.content_security_policy do |policy|
+  if Rails.env.development?
+    policy.script_src :self, :https, :unsafe_eval
+  else
+    policy.script_src :self, :https
+  end
+end
+```
+You can read more about this in the [Vue docs](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/installation.html#CSP-environments).
+
+### Lazy loading integration
+
+See [docs/es6](es6.md) to know more about Webpack and Webpacker configuration.
+
+For instance, you can lazy load Vue JS components:
+
+Before:
+```js
+import Vue from 'vue'
+import { VCard } from 'vuetify/lib'
+
+Vue.component('VCard', VCard)
+```
+
+After:
+```js
+import Vue from 'vue'
+
+// With destructuring assignment
+Vue.component('VCard', import('vuetify/lib').then(({ VCard }) => VCard)
+
+// Or without destructuring assignment
+Vue.component('OtherComponent', () => import('./OtherComponent'))
+```
+
+You can use it in a Single File Component as well:
+
+```html
+<template>
+  ...
+</template>
+
+<script>
+export default {
+  components: {
+    OtherComponent: () => import('./OtherComponent')
+  }
+}
+</script>
+```
+
+By wrapping the import function into an arrow function, Vue will execute it only when it gets requested, loading the module in that moment.
+
+##### Automatic registration
+
+```js
+/**
+ * The following block of code may be used to automatically register your
+ * Vue components. It will recursively scan this directory for the Vue
+ * components and automatically register them with their "basename".
+ *
+ * Eg. ./components/OtherComponent.vue -> <other-component></other-component>
+ * Eg. ./UI/ButtonComponent.vue -> <button-component></button-component>
+ */
+
+const files = require.context('./', true, /\.vue$/i)
+files.keys().map(key => {
+  const component = key.split('/').pop().split('.')[0]
+
+  // With Lazy Loading
+  Vue.component(component, () => import(`${key}`))
+
+  // Or without Lazy Loading
+  Vue.component(component, files(key).default)
+})
+```
+
+## Elm
+
+To use Webpacker with [Elm](http://elm-lang.org), create a
+new Rails 5.1+ app using `--webpack=elm` option:
+
+```
+# Rails 5.1+
+rails new myapp --webpack=elm
+```
+
+(or run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:elm` on a Rails app already setup with Webpacker).
+
+The Elm library and its core packages will be added via Yarn and Elm.
+An example `Main.elm` app will also be added to your project in `app/javascript`
+so that you can experiment with Elm right away.
+
+## Svelte
+
+To use Webpacker with [Svelte](https://svelte.dev), create a
+new Rails 5.1+ app using `--webpack=svelte` option:
+
+```
+# Rails 5.1+
+rails new myapp --webpack=svelte
+```
+
+(or run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:svelte` on a Rails app already setup with Webpacker).
+
+Please play with the [Svelte Tutorial](https://svelte.dev/tutorial/basics) or learn more about its API at https://svelte.dev/docs
+
+## Stimulus
+
+To use Webpacker with [Stimulus](http://stimulusjs.org), create a
+new Rails 5.1+ app using `--webpack=stimulus` option:
+
+```
+# Rails 5.1+
+rails new myapp --webpack=stimulus
+```
+
+(or run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:stimulus` on a Rails app already setup with Webpacker).
+
+Please read [The Stimulus Handbook](https://stimulusjs.org/handbook/introduction) or learn more about its source code at https://github.com/stimulusjs/stimulus
+
+## CoffeeScript
+
+To add [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/) support,
+run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:coffee` on a Rails app already
+setup with Webpacker.
+
+An example `hello_coffee.coffee` file will also be added to your project
+in `app/javascript/packs` so that you can experiment with CoffeeScript right away.
+
+## Erb
+
+To add [Erb](https://apidock.com/ruby/ERB) support in your JS templates,
+run `bundle exec rails webpacker:install:erb` on a Rails app already
+setup with Webpacker.
+
+An example `hello_erb.js.erb` file will also be added to your project
+in `app/javascript/packs` so that you can experiment with Erb-flavoured
+javascript right away.
