Usage

We recommend the use of TypeScript for best Intellisense

import { LazyModule } from 'smartsystem'

import * as myPluginType from 'myPlugin' // plugin does not get loaded here at runtime
let myPluginLazy = new LazyModule<typeof myPlugin>('myPlugin')

import * as anotherPluginType from 'anotherPlugin' // plugin does not get loaded here at runtime
let anotherPluginPromised = LazyModule<typeof anotherPlugin>('anotherPlugin')

myPluginLazy.whenLoaded.then(myPlugin => {
    /* do something with myPlugin. 
       myPlugin receives the typings flow from LazyModule class
       This does NOT load the module during runtime
       The promise whenLoaded will be resolved whenever load() is called for the first time */
})

myPluginLazy.load().then(myPlugin => {
    /* do something with myPlugin. 
       myPlugin receives the typings flow from LazyModule class
       This DOES LOAD the module */
})
