[Feature request/discussion] Allow having multiple instances of shared dependencies about module-federation-examples HOT 3 OPEN

Does the same functionality happen with standard webpack federation (v1)?

from module-federation-examples.

If you mean if reusing the same instance of a dependency is a common behavior of MF 1.0 and 1.5, yes it is.

The behavior of sharing dependencies but having multiple instances is implemented by my MF 1.5 plugin here. It's not part of MF 1.0 nor 1.5, but it does use MF 1.5 Plugin API to hook into the runtime.

Since MF 1.0 does not have a plugin API at all, it would need to be implemented as a Webpack plugin or directly implemented in the Module Federation 1.0 plugin. Ideally, this would be a feature implemented in MF 1.0 and 1.5, no need for additional plugins.

Yeah no i was more asking about if our new enhanced plugin had a issue that webpack did not.

Okay so generally, these instances are shared as you see.

You can patch it in and out of the webpack cache, which tbh may be the only way to do this type of thing (you should check what happens in production when module id is numeric)

I dont think there is a good option here to make "forgetful" modules, without possibly creating a new module type and module factory on the compiler end to do this. Like EagerIsolatedModule or something
