 A tiny library to help you use the [ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/tooling-intro/) AMD modules in applications built with popular JavaScript frameworks and bundlers.
 
-**NOTE: It is recommended to try installing [@arcgis/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@arcgis/core) and [building with ES Modules](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/guide/es-modules) _instead_ of using esri-loader.** Read more below about [when you might want to use esri-loader](#why-is-this-needed).

+**Deprecation Notice:** The esri-loader npm package is deprecated at Maps SDK for JavaScript version 4.29 and will be retired at version 4.31. Locally built applications should use the [@arcgis/core](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/es-modules/) ES modules npm package. Here are [sample applications](https://github.com/Esri/jsapi-resources/tree/main/esm-samples) for getting started. For more information see the [building with ES Modules](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/guide/es-modules) guide topic.
