How do I set up dynamic imports correctly (for beyond localhost)?-CodePudding

I followed https://docs.meteor.com/packages/dynamic-import.html to set up dynamic imports, and it works fine on localhost.

For context, I am creating a blog (Meteor/React/Apollo) which renders MDX files, and these files need to be imported, so I have a list of all my posts as such:

import("./imports/posts/61a000d03a1931b8819dc17e.mdx")
import("./imports/posts/619cae2f03f4ff710aa3d980.mdx")
import("./imports/posts/619e002d386ebf2023ea85c3.mdx")
import("./imports/posts/619fff7c5b312d7622acda86.mdx")

I have a Post.jsx component:

import React, { useState, useRef } from "react"
import { useHistory, useParams } from "react-router-dom"
import { useQuery } from "@apollo/client"
import { GET_POST_ID } from "../../api/posts/queries"

const Post = () => {
    const Post = useRef()
    const history = useHistory()
    const { slug } = useParams()
    const [loadedPost, setLoaded] = useState(false)
    const [viewer, showViewer] = useState(false)
    const open = () => showViewer(true)
    
    const { data, loading, error } = useQuery(GET_POST_ID, { variables: { slug }})
    
    if (loading) return null
    if (error) {
        console.log(error)
        return null
    }

    import(`./posts/${data._id}.mdx`).then(MDX => {
        Post.current = MDX.default
        setLoaded(true)
    }, (err) => {
        console.log(err)
    })

    return loadedPost ? (
        <>
        <div className="postContent">
            <div className="markdownOverride markdown-body">
                <Post.current />
            </div>
        </div>
        </>
    ) : null
}

export default Post

This works well and good on my local network. However, if I attempt to access it from outside my local network, an error is thrown in the console that all the blog modules are not found. The Apollo/GraphQL portion works fine, but the actual module can't be imported.

How do I get this to work outside of localhost?

Thanks.

EDIT: The error messages are, for each post:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Cannot find module '/imports/posts/61a000d03a1931b8819dc17e.mdx`

And when I load the actual post page:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch

Isn't your error thrown by console.log(err) ?

    import(`./posts/${data._id}.mdx`).then(MDX => {
        Post.current = MDX.default
        setLoaded(true)
    }, (err) => {
        console.log(err) // <---- here
    })

This means your path isn't right for /imports/posts/61a000d03a1931b8819dc17e.mdx.

To me you can't use changing parameters when doing dynamic imports. ./posts/${data._id}.mdx, because your meteor or webpack compilation needs to treat all the data._ids avalaible in your database in order to compile and prepare the file...

This might be why it works in development mode but not in production.

You can just do dynamic imports of modules or components (already compiled), no more to me. Take a look at your output compilation bundles, and try to find where are your components...

It turns out that I needed to specify the ROOT_URL correctly when initializing Meteor. With an ngrok http tunnel on port 3000 pointing to https://some-hash.ngrok.io, I had to start Meteor with: ROOT_URL="https://some-hash.ngrok.io" meteor. When I do this, I can access it fine and everything loads from my local IP and the ngrok URL, but I can't seem to load it up from localhost (it times out).

Specifying my local or public IP did not work, I could not get it to load through any of those methods.
