import and use dynamically created file in src/ code?

Is there a way to use the dynamically created file as a dependency of another module? E.g.:

Webpack config:

    ...
    plugins: [
      new AddAssetPlugin(
        "file.js",
`export default {
   a: 1,
   b: 2,
   c: 3
}
`
      ),
    ...

Then in src/myapp.js:

import obj from 'file.js'

console.log(obj.a) // Outputs: 1

?

Webpack 5: DeprecationWarning: Compilation.assets will be frozen in future

Webpack 5 complains quite loudly about this plugin:

(node:15826) [DEP_WEBPACK_COMPILATION_ASSETS] DeprecationWarning: Compilation.assets will be frozen in future, all modifications are deprecated.
BREAKING CHANGE: No more changes should happen to Compilation.assets after sealing the Compilation.
  Do changes to assets earlier, e. g. in Compilation.hooks.processAssets.
  Make sure to select an appropriate stage from Compilation.PROCESS_ASSETS_STAGE_*.

Move to the Webpack `.hooks` API

When running the tests I get:

⠹ (node:62443) DeprecationWarning: Tapable.plugin is deprecated. Use new API on `.hooks` instead

Only add once for --watch mode

When running webpack --watch with incremental compilations and with a static string type source, the module will still add it on every incremental build which is useless and spams the log unneccesarily. Suggesting to emit a string asset only once during --watch. Function/Promise sources should of course be emitted every build because their content may change.
