Description
There are several ways to initialize Aplication Insights and currently static loading when importing as module is not covered. We need to provide a supported way and update readme.
| | **Dynamic loading.** JS script tag is inserted in the head of the page. This is the recommended approach as our CDN is getting frequent updates. | **Static loading.** You are responsible for including JS script tag or bundling the script with your other scripts. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Using initialization `snippet`** | [Dynamic loading with snippet](README.md#use-js-snippet-and-initialize-dynamically-download-full-application-insights-script-from-cdn) This is default approach used in a new ASP.NET application created in Visual Studio. Use this for MVC applications. | [Host AI JS SDK and initialize statically](README.md#include-ai-js-sdk-script-and-initialize-statically). Cordova applications where you would like to embed scripts into your application for faster loading is an example of when you would use this approach. |
| **Using module import** | [Dynamic loading using module import](README.md#import-as-a-module-and-initialize-dynamically-download-full-application-insights-script-from-cdn). This is the recommended approach for modern modular applications. | **missing today** |

Research direction
Start with the module-import and static-loading sections linked in README.md and compare their initialization guidance. Determine the supported local module-import approach, then update README.md with the missing path and an example. Done means the static module-import case is supported and documented alongside the existing dynamic and script-based options.
