Webpack dynamically create a module

Question

I am writing a plugin which creates a SVG sprite. It globs over the directories, merge SVG files in one image and returns the result. The idea is to dynamically create a module

Answer 1

Try taking a look at how external and delegated modules are provided in Webpack. A good place to start is the ExternalModuleFactoryPlugin or DllReferencePlugin.

Essentially, you create a plugin for the NormalModuleFactory which takes requests for modules, you match those which should resolve to the modules you are generating and you can asynchronously respond with a Module.
