To configure lazy-loaded routes for Angular standalone components, use the loadComponent property in your route configuration object instead of a static import. This ensures the component code is split into a separate chunk and loaded on demand when the route is accessed.

The difference is that loadComponent lazy-loads a single standalone component, while loadChildren lazy-loads an entire feature module with child routes. Both patterns enforce code-splitting to reduce initial bundle size, but loadComponent is used for individual pages and loadChildren for nested route trees.

To verify code-splitting and chunk generation, build your Angular application and navigate to the lazy-loaded route. Check the network tab or build output to confirm a separate JavaScript chunk is generated and fetched on demand, ensuring the target code is absent from the initial bundle.

You should avoid static imports in Angular route configurations because they bundle the component or module code into the initial payload. Using dynamic loadComponent or loadChildren patterns keeps feature code out of the main bundle, optimizing initial load times and perceived application performance.

Yes, you can use loadChildren for routes with child modules in large Angular feature sets. This pattern is specifically designed to lazy-load feature modules containing nested child routes, ensuring that large feature sets are code-split and loaded only when their specific route is accessed.

Yes, lazy-loading Angular routes works for both standalone components and child modules. You use loadComponent for individual standalone components and loadChildren for feature modules with child routes, enforcing code-splitting across both patterns to reduce initial bundle size.
