Nested 'import' with code splitting support

[hanford]

In my code for code-splitting, I'm getting:

index.js:156:9: Parsing error: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level

However, according to the webpack2 guides and the proposed ES6 modules spec, import can in fact be nested.

It looks like import() is still in stage 3 of the standardization process. ESLint has a policy of only implementing features in their parser once they're in stage 4.

So, standard will support this eventually, but not until the spec is stable.

You can try installing this babel plugin (https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/syntax-dynamic-import/) and tell standard to use Babel as it's parser if you want to be on the bleeding edge. To do that:

npm install babel-eslint
standard --parser babel-eslint

Thanks for the speedy response!
