**Question:** When do we use `auto-import`? The answer is, when a component of a package or a package is used in almost all files of the project. **Question:** When do we not use `auto-import`? When a particular component is used just once or twice in a project, we do not `auto-import` instead we `import` it in the specific file/s where the component is required. **Question:** Why do we not `auto-import` all the components or packages? It downloads the complete package in our project making the size of the project unnecessarily big.

`fastn` is intelligent

If a package is not used in any `.ftd` file but it is `auto-imported` in the `FASTN.ftd` file, that package would not be downloaded.
