`createObjectURL` is unable to generate circular dependencies for ECMAScript Modules due to URLs requiring their content be given at time of creation. This leads to a problem when trying to recreate this file using `createObjectURL`: ```js // a.mjs import './a.mjs'; ``` It seems that there is no way to generate the URL for the import statement since it is returned from `createObjectURL`. I would propose there be an async form or controller for this. I am not tied to any given API but can imagine something like: ```js // bikeshed method name, doesn't matter to me const url = URL.createAsyncURL((async () => { await; // make sure `url` exists by waiting a tick return new Blob([`import ${url};`], {type: 'text/javascript'}); })()); ``` -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
