Transform javascript string with `import` statement into a function in the browser

I will like my vue application to transform the following string:

const test = 'import { pi } from "MathPie"; function test() { console.log(pi); } export default test;'

into a function that I could call.

import { pi } from "MathPie";

function test() {
  console.log(pi);
}

export default test;

I already tried using eval (even if it's evil), but it doens't work because import statement aren't supported by it.

eval(test)()
> Cannot use import statement outside a module
> Should log '3.14159'

The snippet is for presentation only, I'm aware of Math.PI

My question is how I can evaluate a string with import statement?

In your case, you can use a combination of dynamic import() together with createObjectURL().

A test example is below:

(async() => { // <= if you don't support top level await.
  const jsCode = `
export default function defaultTest() { console.log('this is default test func'); };
export function primaryTest() { console.log('this is primary test func'); };
export function secondaryTest() { console.log('this is secondary test func'); };`;

  const blobData = new Blob([jsCode], {
    type: 'text/javascript'
  });
  const url = URL.createObjectURL(blobData);
  const {
    "default": defaultTest,
    primaryTest,
    secondaryTest
  } = await import(url);
  
  defaultTest();
  primaryTest();
  secondaryTest();
})()
