Do we have the ability to loadRemote() and get the code, rather than evaluating the class definition?

[arimus]

I have a remote that I want to fetch but not completely evaluated. This may not be relevant for most folks, but I have a remote which references an external library available in the host and it has a static initializer. I do not want that initializer to be triggered until I am ready, which in my case is inside a sandbox vm.

Is there currently a way to accomplish this? I'd like to eval them at a time of my choosing / write the files out to the filesystem. I would just loadRemote inside the vm sandbox at the right time, but that has some architectural implications that won't work for me.

Runtime has preloadRemote which will pull the code but not evaluate the require of it.

You need to use the json protocol AFIK to use it tho. But yes we support preload of remote and share

[arimus]

Gotcha. I'll have to poke around some more. I need to see what I get back with the preloadRemote and see if I can finagle the code out of it without evaluating it.

Preload was designed for this. Should work. Fetch but no eval. Then when load remote is called it just executes the factory. Nothing to load over network

[arimus]

  init({
    name: 'host',
    remotes: [
      {
        name: '_mythic_heartbeat_plugin',
        entry: 'http://localhost:3011/mf-manifest.json'
      }
    ]
  });

  preloadRemote([
      {
        nameOrAlias: '_mythic_heartbeat_plugin',
        resourceCategory: 'all',
      },
  ]);

yields an error:

default: error: ModuleFederationPluginSource(): fetch(): error loading remote module [ Federation Runtime ]: The attribute remoteEntry of _mythic_heartbeat_plugin must not be undefined. Error: [ Federation Runtime ]: The attribute remoteEntry of _mythic_heartbeat_plugin must not be undefined.

looking at the manifest, it looks right?

If this is node, you need the node runtime plugin added
