[Feature Request]: non_webpack_require

[ScriptedAlchemy]

What problem does this feature solve?

This allows me to skip bundling a specific require call. __non_webpack_require__ is converted back into require and is often used inside libraries as a way to escape the containers closure.

This is the same concept as webpack magic comments for webpackIgnore on a import(), which tells webpack to use native import() spec to load that specific file. For require or sync imports - non_webpack_require does the same kind of thing

What does the proposed API of configuration look like?

this is syntax sugar, no outward facing api.

I believe this would be a parser update or require factory alteration to match how webpack does it currently.

we should support it but you can workaround it by eval('require')(id)

[ScriptedAlchemy]

Just to note for users reading, libraries may have issues till this is patched if they depend on breaking out of webpack with non require.

how to do？use rspack to start nestjs project，output error

[hardfist]

where do you use the __non_webpack_require api? can yo paste the coe

[Ttou]

the package app-root-path has use this api

// node_modules/app-root-path/lib/resolve.js

//...
// If we're in webpack, force it to use the original require() method
var requireFunction = ("function" === typeof __webpack_require__ || "function" === typeof __non_webpack_require__)
	? __non_webpack_require__
	: require;
// ...

[hardfist]

so you use some third-party module which use __no_webpack_require__ api?

[Ttou]

yes

[hardfist]

you either wait for rspack no_webpack_require implementation or use patch-package to modify third party mode code
