Webpack require expression external

Question

I have an expression require which should get resolved in runtime but I can’t get my head around the webpack config for this simple example:

import something fro

For anyone wondering: you can solve it with this plugin:

function() {
  this.parser.plugin('call require', function(expr) {
    if (expr.arguments.length !== 1) {
      return;
    }

    const param = this.evaluateExpression(expr.arguments[0]);
    if (!param.isString() && !param.isConditional()) {
      return true;
    }
  });
}

Anything that cannot be resolved by webpack will be left as is.
