Shiksha Platform Frontend (Uses Module Federation)

Modules

Create New Module

• copy module-template to packages/[module-name]
• update packages/[module-name]/package.json

{
"name": "[module-name]",
...
}

• Update packages/[module-name]/craco.config.js and assign a port for dev environment.

module.exports = {
  devServer: {
    port: 3001,
  },
  ...

• update packages/[module-name]/moduleFederation.config.js

...
module.exports = {
  name: "[module-name]",
...

Run All Modules and Host Application

• Install dependency

yarn install

• Run all modules

yarn start

Build Application for Production

yarn build

Run Module as Standalone Application

lerna run start --scope=[module-name]

Use Module in Host Application

• Add remote module url to remotes in packages/[host-app]/moduleFederation.config.js

# e.g. core module is runninig on localhost:3001 then

  remotes: {
    core: 'core@[window.appModules.core.url]/remoteEntry.js',
  },

• Add entry to modules.json

# e.g. core module is runninig on localhost:3001 then

{
    "core":{
        "url": "http://localhost:3001"
    },
    ...
}

• To use exposed component from remote module in react. The lazy load componennt must be enclosed within <React.Suspense>

# e.g. usiing AppShell component from core module

const AppShell = React.lazy(() => import("core/AppShell"));
...
<React.Suspense fallback="Loading ">
 <AppShell/>
</React.Suspense>
