Hello folks
AFAIK, there is no memory leak in using LazyLoader. Note LazyLoader for
JS files does not impose any specific format over the object you are
trying to load. It is not like require.js where dependencies live
forever, it is just a convenient way to synchronize several "add
<script> to DOM" operations. No more, no less (at least, from the JS
point of view, LazyLoader is able to load HTML external sources as well).
The loader does not keep a cache of objects, it only keeps a map to mark
already loaded resources in order to avoid the load process so the same
JS is not attached twice to the DOM.
The only thing we could add is some mechanism to allow detach <scripts>
elements from the DOM but this not even warranty you free the objects
created inside.
Take a look at the code of LazyLoad, it's really straightforward:

Hope it helps.

Hello People,
From the looks of the code, it seems that the js files LazyLoads the code
of the modules it needs. My question is does it get rid of the js files
that were LazyLoaded after its work is done, or does it stay in the memory.
Coz if it just keeps on adding every file, then it might cause some serious
performance problems.
Can you elaborate?

Hi Rick,
What I meant to ask was When you load a js file via Lazy Loading, does it stay
in the memory for ever, or it gets cleared up when the object that was required
from that file is deleted in garbage collection.
I have no idea how Lazy Loading works. So extremely sorry for my noob
questions. I just know that Lazy Loading loads the files on demand. So rather
than loading the file in the beginning of an app, with the help of Lazy
Loading, it can be called when it is required.
Thanks
