+When using [local registration](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#Local-Registration), you can also directly provide a function that returns a `Promise`:

 <p class="tip">If you're a <strong>Browserify</strong> user that would like to use async components, its creator has unfortunately [made it clear](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify/issues/58#issuecomment-21978224) that async loading "is not something that Browserify will ever support." Officially, at least. The Browserify community has found [some workarounds](https://github.com/vuejs/vuejs.org/issues/620), which may be helpful for existing and complex applications. For all other scenarios, we recommend simply using Webpack for built-in, first-class async support.</p>
