Is it possible to import wildcard path in React Typescript?

Question

I want to import dynamically React Typescript Component from wildcard path like below:-

const Component = loadable(
  () => import(`../../../src/**/*/${component_name}`),
);

Is it possible to import like above using a wildcard?

Lots of solutions found in Stackoverflow but nothing match with the requirement.

Any help will highly appreciate.

You should use React.lazy and Webpack require

import upperFirst from 'lodash/upperFirst'
import camelCase from 'lodash/camelCase'

// registry for components
const components = {}

// Create component
const makeComponent = (path) => React.lazy(() => import(`${path}`));


// Get paths (Webpack)
const requireComponent = require.context(
  '../../../components', // components folder
  true, // look subfolders
  /\w+\.([jt]sx)$/ //regex for files
)

requireComponent.keys().forEach(filePath => {
  // Get component config
  const Component = makeComponent(filePath);

  // Get PascalCase name of component
  const componentName = upperFirst(
    camelCase(
    // Gets the file name regardless of folder depth
     filePath
      .split('/')
      .pop()
      .replace(/\.\w+$/, '')
   );

  components[componentName] = Component;
)

This solution may require restart Webpack after each new component that you add to components folder. Component names (aka fileNames in our case) should be uniq. React.lazy required default export
