| <a id="why-is-this-needed"></a>Unfortunately, prior to version 4.18, you couldn't simply `npm install` the ArcGIS API and `import` its modules. The only reliable way to load ArcGIS API for JavaScript modules was using Dojo's AMD loader. Rather than using Dojo to build your application, esri-loader provides a way to dynamically load modules at runtime from a hosted build of the ArcGIS API into applications built using modern tools and framework conventions. This allows your application to take advantage of the fast cached [CDN](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/guide/get-api/#cdn). | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we need to be clear about the fact that if you are using a version that's before 4.18, you need esri-loader.
