Inter-Module Communication (IMC)
Inter-Module Communication (IMC) provides communication channels between different modules powered by Webpack Module Federation. Essentially, this means every module (extensions and Pulse Editor Core) is able to establish incoming and outgoing channels with any other modules (extensions and Pulse Editor Core).
Establishing IMC between extensions is up to the extensions' developer(s). Pulse Editor does not make communication channels among extensions by default, it only establishes communication channels between itself (Pulse Editor Core) and any extension upon loading that extension.
For example:
When extension A and B load, the Core makes IMC connections like so:
Core < -- > Extension A
Core < -- > Extension B
But Pulse Editor does not make the following connection, unless the developer of extension A and developer of extension B agree to inter-connect them with utils from @pulse-editor/shared-utils:
Extension A < -- > Extension B
