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 🙏

Vite plugin for Module Federation

npm

Reason why 🤔

Microservices nowadays is a well-known concept and maybe you are using it in your current company. Do you know that now you can apply similar ideas on the Frontend? With Module Federation you can load separately compiled and deployed code into a unique application. This plugin makes Module Federation work together with Vite.

Working implementations

Vue

React

Svelte

SolidJS

More examples here

Try this crazy example with all these bundlers together

pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm run multi-example

Getting started 🚀

https://module-federation.io/guide/basic/webpack.html

With @module-federation/vite, the process becomes delightfully simple, you will only find the differences from a normal Vite configuration.

This example is with Vue.js The @module-federation/vite configuration remains the same for different frameworks.

The Remote Application configuration

file: remote/vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { federation } from '@module-federation/vite'; 👈

export default defineConfig({
  [...]
  plugins: [
    [...]
    federation({ 👈
      name: "remote",
      filename: "remoteEntry.js",
      exposes: {
        "./remote-app": "./src/App.vue",
      },
      shared: ["vue"],
    }),
  ],
  // Do you need to support build targets lower than chrome89?
  // You can use 'vite-plugin-top-level-await' plugin for that.
  build: {
    target: 'chrome89',
  },
  [...]
});

In this remote app configuration, we define a remoteEntry.js file that will expose the App component. The shared property ensures that both host and remote applications use the same vue library.

The Host Application configuration

file host/vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { federation } from '@module-federation/vite'; 👈

export default defineConfig({
  [...]
  plugins: [
    [...]
    federation({ 👈
      name: "host",
      remotes: {
        remote: {
          type: "module",
          name: "remote",
          entry: "https://[...]/remoteEntry.js",
          entryGlobalName: "remote",
          shareScope: "default",
        },
      },
      filename: "remoteEntry.js",
      shared: ["vue"],
    }),
  ],
  // Do you need to support build targets lower than chrome89?
  // You can use 'vite-plugin-top-level-await' plugin for that.
  build: {
    target: 'chrome89',
  },
  [...]
});

The host app configuration specifies its name, the filename of its exposed remote entry remoteEntry.js, and importantly, the configuration of the remote application to load.

Load the Remote App

In your host app, you can now import and use the remote app with defineAsyncComponent

file host/src/App.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineAsyncComponent } from "vue";
const RemoteMFE = defineAsyncComponent( 👈
  () => import("remote/remote-app")
);
</script>

<template>
  <RemoteMFE v-if="!!RemoteMFE" /> 👈
</template>

So far so good 🎉

Now you are ready to use Module Federation in Vite!
