Is it possible to use variables while importing a module? I'm trying to dynamically import some module files but when I use variables it doesnt find the file Works:

  await import(`module/lib/module.css`);

  await import(`module/lib/module.css`);

Doesn't work:

  await import(LIBRARY_ROUTES[library].css);

  await import(LIBRARY_ROUTES[library].css);

mhm, I get it but I literally have no idea about webpack :nervous: it's what we are using but idk how versions work here or whatever thanks for the info tho I knew i could do this because I did it in other projects which used more modern versions of vite and webpack

if you put the imports in your map it may work better

const LIBRARY_ROUTES = {
    foo: () => import(`module/lib/module.css`)
}

const LIBRARY_ROUTES = {
    foo: () => import(`module/lib/module.css`)
}
