Function: importModule

Federated.importModule

▸ importModule<Exports>(containerName, module, scope?): Promise<Exports>

Dynamically imports module from a Module Federation container. Similar to import('file'), but specific to Module Federation. Calling importModule will create an async boundary.

Container will be evaluated only once. If you use importModule for the same container twice, the container will be loaded and evaluated only on the first import.

Under the hood, importModule will call ScriptManager.shared.loadScript(containerName). This means, a resolver must be added with ScriptManager.shared.addResolver(...) beforehand and provided proper resolution logic to resolve URL based on the containerName.

example

import * as React from 'react';
import { Federated } from '@callstack/repack/client';

const Button = React.lazy(() => Federated.importModule('my-components', './Button.js'));

const myUtil = await Federated.importModule('my-lib', './myUtil.js');
