Hey everyone! 👋
I recently embarked on an exciting journey to learn and experiment with micro-frontend architecture by creating a monorepo project using Vite and the Nx CLI. The project showcases the power of module federation in modern web development.
In my blog, I dive deep into:
Micro-frontend architecture: Understanding the "what" and "why" behind breaking down a large application into smaller, independently deployable pieces. Monorepo setup with Nx CLI: Streamlining project organization and dependency management for multiple micro-frontends. Module Federation: Unlocking seamless sharing of code and features between micro-frontends. Vite configuration: Leveraging Vite's lightning-fast build system for efficient micro-frontend development. A detailed walkthrough of how I combined these tools to create a robust and scalable micro-frontend monorepo.
Micro-frontends are revolutionizing how we think about scalability, maintainability, and collaboration in front-end development. Pairing this with modern tools like Nx CLI and Vite makes development faster and more enjoyable.
I’ve explained each concept with practical examples and included all the configuration details to help you get started. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer looking to explore micro-frontends, you’ll find valuable insights.
Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions! Would love to hear your feedback. 🙌
To run the dev server for your app, use:
npm run preview:all
To create a production bundle:
npm run build:all
To generate a new application, use:
npx nx g @nx/react:app demo
To generate a new library, use:
npx nx g @nx/react:lib mylib
after building, on ./dist/apps/remote_app/assets/remoteEntry.js
I have to change the federation path from ./assets/federation...
to ./federation...
.
Got to find a way to config this into Vite.
