var Hello = require('./Hello').default;

Evaluate

JavaScript

Transpiled

const require = (path) => { };
(0, eval)(transpiledCode)

Limitations

1. Everything needs to be synchronous

2. No parallelization

3. No support for emitting module

- .vue => {.css, .js, .js}

4. No chained loaders

- sass => css => css modules

  2. No one-on-one with local environment

  3. Inefficient for bigger projects
