Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Utility for producing a global appshell manifest for module federation micro-frontends

Readme

Appshell CI

@appshell/config

Utitliy to generate appshell configuration for building micro-frontends with Appshell and Webpack Module federation.

Working examples can be found here.

Note: This package is no longer published, and it's recommended to use the @appshell/cli instead.

Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install @appshell/config:

npm install @appshell/config --save-dev

or

yarn add -D @appshell/config

or

pnpm add -D @appshell/config

Functions

generateManifest

The generateManifest function is given a configs dir to process and produces a merged appshell manifest.

import { generateManifest } from '@appshell/config';

const manifest = generateManifest<MyMetadata>(process.env.CONFIGS_DIR);

Where does the content of CONFIGS_DIR come from?

Each micro-frontend configured to use @appshell/manifest-webpack-plugin emits it's configuration to the configs directory at build time, which is subsequently processed with this utility to reflect the current runtime environment.

Sample content from CONFIGS_DIR:

{
  "remotes": {
    "CraModule/App": {
      "url": "${CRA_MFE_URL}",
      "metadata": {
        "route": "/cra",
        "displayName": "Example App",
        "displayGroup": "${CRA_MFE_DISPLAY_GROUP}",
        "order": 10,
        "icon": "ViewList"
      },
      "id": "3eb81a0c"
    }
  },
  "module": {
    "exposes": {
      "./App": "./src/App"
    },
    "filename": "remoteEntry.js",
    "name": "CraModule",
    "shared": {
      "react": {
        "singleton": true,
        "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
      },
      "react-dom": {
        "singleton": true,
        "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
      }
    }
  },
  "environment": {
    "RUNTIME_ARG_1": "${RUNTIME_ARG_1}",
    "RUNTIME_ARG_2": "${RUNTIME_ARG_2}"
  }
}

How does my runtime environment get reflected in the global appshell manifest?

Note the variable expansion syntax ${CRA_MFE_URL}. When generateManifest is called the actual runtime environment values are injected and an appshell manifest is emitted.

Note the environment section defines runtime environment variables that are injected into the global namesapce window.__appshell_env__[module_name] when an Appshell component is loaded. See the examples for a use case.

Sample appshell manifest produced by the generateManifest function:

{
  "remotes": {
    "CraModule/App": {
      "id": "3eb81a0c",
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/remoteEntry.js",
      "scope": "CraModule",
      "module": "./App",
      "metadata": {
        "route": "/cra",
        "displayName": "Example App",
        "displayGroup": "main",
        "order": 10,
        "icon": "ViewList"
      }
    },
    "VanillaModule/Vanilla": {
      "id": "8232ce86",
      "url": "http://localhost:3002/remoteEntry.js",
      "scope": "VanillaModule",
      "module": "./Vanilla",
      "metadata": {
        "route": "/vanilla",
        "displayName": "Example React App",
        "displayGroup": "main",
        "order": 10,
        "icon": "ViewList"
      }
    }
  },
  "modules": {
    "Appshell": {
      "name": "Appshell",
      "shared": {
        "react": {
          "singleton": true,
          "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
        },
        "react-dom": {
          "singleton": true,
          "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
        }
      }
    },
    "CraModule": {
      "exposes": {
        "./App": "./src/App"
      },
      "filename": "remoteEntry.js",
      "name": "CraModule",
      "shared": {
        "react": {
          "singleton": true,

        },
        "react-dom": {
          "singleton": true,
          "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
        }
      }
    },
    "VanillaModule": {
      "exposes": {
        "./Vanilla": "./src/App"
      },
      "filename": "remoteEntry.js",
      "name": "VanillaModule",
      "shared": {
        "react": {
          "singleton": true,
          "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
        },
        "react-dom": {
          "singleton": true,
          "requiredVersion": "^18.2.0"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "environment": {
    "CraModule": {
      "RUNTIME_ARG_1": "Foo",
      "RUNTIME_ARG_2": "Biz"
    },
    "VanillaModule": {
      "RUNTIME_ARG_1": "Bar"
    }
  }
}

This appshell manifest is registered with APPSHELL_REGISTRY consumed by the appshell host.

What if I want to generate the manifest by a startup script instead?

This functionality is exposed by the @appshell/cli package. You can simply call appshell generate manifest --template /path/to/appshell.template.json to produce the runtime manifest on startup.
