webpack-virtual-modules allows webpack to load modules from in-memory strings rather than the file system. This empowers dynamic module generation, useful for scenarios like hot reloading custom code or creating webpack plugins that inject code at runtime. By treating strings as virtual files, developers effectively bypass file system limitations, enhancing workflow flexibility. This package is especially suited for projects heavily dependent on code transformations or modular script generation on the fly.
