Dynamic Import of JSON File skips import of Keys with Fullstop/Dot (.)

[fritzfelix]

Describe the bug

When dynamiclly importing a JSON file that contains keys with fullstops in it (i.e. foo.bar), these key/value pairs are not imported but skipped:

de.json:

{
    "foo": "bar",
    "foo.bar": "baz"
}

Import:

const thing = await import(`./translations/${locale}.json`);
console.log(thing);

Output:
It can be seen, that "foo.bar" only exists under "default":

Expected Output (previously working with Webpack Dynamic Import):
"foo.bar" exists at top level:

This is not a bug. foo.bar is not a valid name for export.

export const foo.bar = '' // this is not a valid js syntax

If we use "Arbitrary module namespace identifier names" that landed in ES2022, we could support this:

const foo_bar = ''

export { foo_bar as 'foo.bar' }

But this is not supported by rollup yet (rollup/rollup#4322).

I am facing a similar issue. I have a JSON file with translations. Some keys contain spaces. For example: "Add employee": "Mitarbeiter hinzufügen". These keys are not included in the imported JSON file.

How can I fix it?

[steventilator]

Ha, I just fixed it. For future reference:

Does not work:

import * as de from './locales/de.json'

Works:

import de from './locales/de.json'

Hey, just checking in to ask what the progress is on fixing this? We just migrated to Vite and this is causing a big regression in the way we translate our app. We've implemented a workaround but it's less than pretty and would like to be able to just dynamically import the JSON files directly.
