Provide require() in console #67
Description
We should figure out a way to provide a global require() in DEV mode in the browser console.
It could be implemented as a webpack plugin (everything is a plugin in webpack right?)
It could work like this:
- For modules with unique names,
require('moduleName')just works - For modules with non-unique names,
require('./full/path/from/root')is the only way
Still not too bad!

What is the use case for this? So I can go to my dev tools console and access a module? That would be helpful, I'd like to dig into it.

Yea, it's for debugging individual modules when something specific doesn't quite work, and you want to call it directly.

This is freaking handy indeed!

You can try it out on facebook.com fyi, it's super useful for debugging

Closing for a lack of a specific proposal. It’s not clear how this would work with relative imports so unless somebody prototypes this, I likely won’t be working on it.
