TheContextModuleFactory module is used by theCompiler to generate dependencies from webpack specificrequire.context API. It resolves the requested directory, generates requests for each file and filters against passed regExp. Matching dependencies then passes throughNormalModuleFactory.

TheContextModuleFactory class extendsTapable and provides the followinglifecycle hooks. They can be tapped the same way as compiler hooks:

ContextModuleFactory.hooks.someHook.tap(/* ... */);

As with thecompiler,tapAsync andtapPromise may also be availabledepending on the type of hook.
