Asynchronous/dynamic loading of components?

[zeno]

Can an Aura component be loaded dynamically (like say the chat widget in Gmail as Addy explains in this video) ?

Or are all components loaded on app.start?

Yep that's actually the whole point ;)

You can even define multiple endpoints or 'sources' where components van be
loaded. Aura takes care of the asynchronous things automatically

Yeah, but is it really the case once the app is built for production? It looks like in the end all the components get concatenated/optimized in a single file (including those "component sources").

What would be the API method in Aura to download and "start" a component on demand? I see two methods in the docs: the first "markup" method won't work after the app has already started (injecting an element with the data-aura-component attribute), and the 2nd "manual" method seems to only take a list of components to be started on application start (passed to app.start). Am I missing something?

Actually you dont have to build your components into a single file for
production.
If you use requirejs, Aura will automatically fetch them at runtime...
