CRA 2 - Dynamic Imports for node_modules

[buchanaf]

Question: I have one massive package (aws-amplify) that sits at around 200kb compressed. Is it possible to break this into a separate chunk with dynamic imports? Regardless of what I do, it always ends up in the vendors bundle..

Running 2.0.0-next.3e165448.

You may want to ask this question in an aws-amplify's dedicated support channel:

aws-amplify was more of an example -- I tried other NPM modules as well with the same result. Basically, I was trying to determine if the current Webpack 4 configuration allowed for excluding large NPM modules from vendors bundle and turning them into their own chunks via dynamic imports.

My vendor.js file is ~roughly 450kb, so I was hoping to break that up.

I think there are issues with the way vendor modules are bundled currently in 2.0.0-next.3e165448, see #4631 and #4633
