I used this es6-module-loader in an Angular 2 project and it worked great for loading TypeScript modules in real time in the web-browser. Now, I am upgrading this project to Angular 6, but here the dependencies are not met for the imports of the loading module. For example:

declare var SystemLoader:any;



export class DemoClass {

  constructor() {

    var source = "export class Foo { " +

    "constructor() { console.log('Created the ES6 class foo!'); } " +

    "execMethod() { console.log('Executed method!') }" +

    "}";



     SystemLoader.module(source, {name: _name}).then(function (module: any) {

        module.Foo.prototype.execMethod();

     }

  }

}

This previous code works in Angular 6. It will load the module Foo and print those lines in the Console. But if I get the module a little complexity and add some import like this:

declare var SystemLoader:any;



export class DemoClass {

  constructor() {

    var source = "import {Component} from "@angular/core"; " +

    "export class Foo { " +

    "constructor() { console.log('Created the ES6 class foo!'); } " +

    "execMethod() { console.log('Executed method!') }" +

    "}";



     SystemLoader.module(source, {name: _name}).then(function (module: any) {

        module.Foo.prototype.execMethod();

     }

  }

}

Then it won't work and complains with error 404 loading @angular/core. So, in Angular 2 this was no problem because all the node_modules required for the project where loaded by Angular as is, but in Angular 6 it seems like all those dependencies are all shewed by Webpack and spitted all in one big fat JavaScript file. So, how can I get around this Webpack simplification so that the dynamic module can load?

Edit:

Or at least a sample to migrate from es6-module-loader(deprecated) to es-module-loader using the same process exposed above (loading source code, compile [transpile] and render in the client's machine).

I'm not familiar with angular 6, but the issue seem to stem from webpack's module resolution process, where the module loader does not have a chance to pick up that module dependency at compile time. there can be couple of ways to address this.

You might do away just adding @angular/core as an external dependency, assuming it's declared in a compatible fashion (as common-js, umd etc.). If it's not already declared that way, you can always create a wrapper around it to expose it, e.g. as a common-js module.

Another way is to have a code-split point at this dependency (either with dynamic imports or require.ensure). I'm not sure it will do, but if the relevant angular loader (the one that parses the source text into source code) has its chance to work, and its output is compiled code, it might.
