I think what you want is require.ensure, webpack's code splitting. The modules that you 'ensure' are put into a separate bundle, and when your 'ensure' executes at runtime, the webpack runtime automatically fetches the bundle via ajax. Note the callback syntax for ensure -- your callback runs when the bundle has finished loading. You still need to require the desired modules at that point; .ensure just makes sure they're available.

Code splitting is one of webpack's major features, it lets you load only what you need at any given time. There's plugins etc. to optimize the multiple bundles as well.
