I’m working on a JavaScript application and would like to implement a plugin system. The idea is to allow developers to extend the app’s functionality by creating plugins that can be loaded at runtime.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Created a basic plugin interface where each plugin exports a set of predefined methods.
Used require() for local plugins during development.
However, I’m facing challenges:

Dynamically loading plugins, especially from remote URLs.
Preventing plugins from interfering with the core application or each other.
What I’ve Tried:
Looked into using import() for dynamic imports but ran into cross-origin restrictions when trying to load plugins from external sources.
Experimented with an iframe sandbox for isolation, but this approach makes communication between the app and plugins tricky.
Specific Questions:
What’s the best way to dynamically load and safely execute JavaScript plugins from external sources?
Are there tools or libraries in the JavaScript ecosystem that simplify this process?
How can I manage plugin dependencies to ensure they don’t conflict with the main app or other plugins?
I’d appreciate concrete examples or best practices for implementing this kind of system. click for more detail
