require() does not accept javascript variable having string

My question is straight forward

var path = './App.vue'

//var App = require(path);  //THIS WILL NOT WORK
var App = require('./App.vue'); //THIS WORKS

DEMO HERE : require() does not accept javascript variable having string

If I want to make it work as to accept javascipt varibales as strings, what I should do.

That's a good question. I know webpack doesn't like it when you do it because I read this:

Using require('...') with a variable vs. using a string in webpack

But I also think it's weird that this works:

var App = require(`${path}`);

I'm just curios, why do you need it to be a variable? The reason it might not work is a tool like webpack would need to know the path before it ran any code so that it can bundle all your modules.
