webpack/examples/code-splitting/README.md

This example illustrates a very simple case of Code Splitting with `require.ensure`.

* `a` and `b` are required normally via CommonJS
* `c` is depended through the `require.ensure` array.
  * This means: make it available, but don't execute it
  * webpack will load it on demand
* `b` and `d` are required via CommonJs in the `require.ensure` callback
  * webpack detects that these are in the on-demand-callback and
  * will load them on demand
  * webpacks optimizer can optimize `b` away
    * as it is already available through the parent chunks

You can see that webpack outputs two files/chunks:

* `output.js` is the entry chunk and contains
  * the module system
  * chunk loading logic
  * the entry point `example.js`
  * module `a`
  * module `b`
* `1.output.js` is an additional chunk (on demand loaded) and contains
  * module `c`
  * module `d`

You can see that chunks are loaded via JSONP. The additional chunks are pretty small and minimize well.

# example.js

``` javascript
var a = require("a");
var b = require("b");
require.ensure(["c"], function(require) {
    require("b").xyz();
    var d = require("d");
});
```
