Q: why must the import be done in onMount?

[geoidesic]

I'm wondering why we can't just do:

<script>
    import BABYLON from 'babylonjs'
</script>

instead of

  onMount(async () => {
    const babylonjs = await import('babylonjs');
    BABYLON = babylonjs.default;
  });

?

It's for SSR compatibility. Babylon can't run on node server, onMount only runs in the client.

But that actually reminds me, Babylon has partial server side rendering now. It can ship generated scenes from the server to the client. I will add that to the TODO.
