Does this webpack plugin will also work with Angular

[rahulsahay19]

Hi Team,

Actually, I was working on one POC where in I need to dynamically load Module and its dependencies on runtime say there are two different solutions running from different repositories hosted on different domain. So, once I request the module from domain X, it should get resolved in domain Y.

Hence, just wanted to check whether this plugin will work for angular as well or this is only meant for react.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi

It should work. I'm not using angular myself but we have some test there: https://github.com/mastilver/dynamic-cdn-webpack-plugin/blob/master/test/core.js#L146-L173

But you will need to handle the peerDependencies yourself, maybe in the future this module will output needed peerDependencies but it's not defined yet (we might need it if some module or our provider bundle their peerDependencies)

If it's not working, please let me know :)
Ideally, it should work for every modules

Let me know what you are working on so, I can add it to the readme ;)

Frankly speaking I am new to webpack hence trying to understand the same in bits and pieces. Point is let's say I have any angular app which is having some modules built in the same repository and some modules it can request let's say on certain action say whether on lazy routing or may be on application repload itself. In that case, it will look for some metadata.json file say, which will have name-value pair of dependencies say endpoint url, module name and its associated components. Then, once the same gets loaded from the bundler on runtime, it should get registered with main module. Registration part is not a problem, but loading modules on run-time is a problem. Therefore, I was thinking if you can provide some working sample around the same it will be great help. So far, I guess dynamic module in angular with webpack no body has done, everybody is using systemjs. But, I wanted to check with webpack itself. Hence, though to utilize your plugin. May be you can include this as example for your plugin as well, then many stack overflow qns will get resolved automatically.

Thanks,

Dynamic loading of arbitrary urls is not something that webpack was build for.
As you can see mastilver/dynamic-cdn-webpack-plugin#16 I'm running into the same issue. There is likely a way but I have no idea how dirty it would be
