This demo takes advantage of EcmaScript Modules (ESM) and url-imports to do client-side composition of microfrontends. Express is used for serving assets, but ideally one would have a dedicated CDN hosting them.
- ✨ Client-side composition of microfrontends
- 📦 Multiframeworks with Astro Islands
- 🚀 SSG/SSR supported by Astro
- Build each micro frontend with
npm run build - Start each micro frontend with
npm run preview
For production you would start the node server in the server folder, after building.
- Build the shell with
npm run build - Start the shell with
npm run preview
Dependencies such as react and react-dom are shared across applications. They are fetched from esm.sh and gets cached in the browser, reducing the bundle size. Each app can share other dependencies as well through url imports.
I've written a few recommendations and best practices. You can read them here. I also have a section for questions and answers.
