Webpack Plugin: How to add dynamically a Module to the main Chunk?

I'm working on a Webpack plugin that basically looks for a css assets inside the chunks, when it founds such asset, applies on it some postCSS plugin that returns 2 outputs, the one should continue to be extracted using Extract-Text-Plugin and the other output should become a new module inside the chunk that injects it to the head on runtime.

The only part that I'm not managed to implement is the part that creates a new module inside existing Chunk. There is some pointers / ideas?

I managed to create a new chunk out of it but without webpack wrappers, that means that I'm not able to support HMR for that piece of css and load it lazily.

class ExtractTPAStylePlugin {
  constructor(options) {
    this._options = Object.assign({
      pattern: [
        /"\w+\([^\)]+\)"/
      ]
    }, options);
  }

  extract(compilation, chunks) {
    const promises = [];

    chunks.forEach((chunk) => {
      promises.push(
        chunk.files
          .filter(fileName => fileName.endsWith('.css'))
          .map(file => postcss([extractStyles(this._options)])
            .process(compilation.assets[file].source(), {from: file, to: file})
            .then((result) => {
              compilation.assets[file] = new RawSource(result.css);

              const filename = file.replace('.css', fileSuffix);
              const newChunk = new Chunk(filename);
              newChunk.files = [filename];
              newChunk.ids = [];
              compilation.chunks.push(newChunk);
              const extractedStyles = `(${addStylesTemplate})()`
                .replace('__CSS__', JSON.stringify(result.extracted))
                .replace('__ID__', file);
              compilation.assets[filename] = new OriginalSource(extractedStyles);
            }))
      );
    });

    return Promise.all(promises);
  }

  apply(compiler) {
    compiler.plugin('compilation', (compilation) => {
      compilation.plugin('optimize-chunk-assets', (chunks, callback) => {
        this.extract(compilation, chunks)
          .then(() => callback())
          .catch(callback);
      });
    });
  }
}

module.exports = ExtractTPAStylePlugin;

OK, So I've managed to collect some pieces of code from several plugins, and the winning solution is to inject a loader to some fake import file, in that loader load the entire js code to the main bundle, and put some placeholder for the results from optimize-chunk-assets phase.

After that, in optimize-chunk-assets, you can find the relevant chunk, and use ReplaceSource to find & replace the placeholder.

For inspiration, you can checkout that plugin.
