Microfrontend Project with Module Federation

A microfrontend architecture project demonstrating module federation with React (host) and Svelte (remote) applications, sharing state via RxJS.

Architecture

• Host App (React): Displays a list of users fetched from JSONPlaceholder API
• Remote App (Svelte): Shows user details in a sliding sidebar
• Shared State: RxJS-based reactive store for user data synchronization
• URL Sync: Selected user ID is synced with the browser URL (?user=[id])

Features

• 🔄 Module Federation: Webpack 5 module federation for microfrontend architecture
• ⚛️ React Host: Main application with user list
• 🔥 Svelte Remote: Sidebar component for user details
• 📡 Reactive State: RxJS BehaviorSubject for real-time state sharing
• 🔗 URL Synchronization: Browser URL reflects selected user
• 🎨 Modern UI: Beautiful, responsive design with smooth animations
• 📱 Responsive: Works on desktop and mobile devices

Installation

1. Install dependencies for all projects:

npm install
cd host && npm install
cd ../remote-svelte && npm install
cd ..

Or use the convenience script:

npm run install:all

Running the Project

Development Mode

Start both applications simultaneously:

npm run dev

Or start them individually:

# Terminal 1 - Start the host app (port 3002)
npm run dev:host

# Terminal 2 - Start the remote app (port 3001)
npm run dev:remote

Then open your browser:

• Host App: http://localhost:3002
• Remote App (standalone): http://localhost:3001

How It Works

1. Host Application (React on port 3002):

   • Fetches user list from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users
   • Stores users in RxJS BehaviorSubject
   • Displays users in a grid layout
   • On user click, updates selected user ID and URL parameter
   • Lazy loads the Svelte sidebar component via Module Federation

2. Remote Application (Svelte on port 3001):

   • Exposes UserDetailSidebar component via Module Federation
   • Subscribes to the shared RxJS store for selected user changes
   • Displays detailed user information in a sliding sidebar
   • Sidebar can be closed by clicking the close button or backdrop

3. Shared State:

   • Both apps use identical userStore.js with RxJS BehaviorSubjects
   • Module Federation ensures singleton pattern for shared dependencies
   • Real-time synchronization across microfrontends

4. URL Synchronization:

   • When a user is selected, URL updates to ?user=[id]
   • On page load, checks URL for initial user selection
   • Enables deep linking and browser history navigation

Technologies Used

• React 18: Host application framework
• Svelte 4: Remote sidebar component
• Webpack 5: Module Federation and bundling
• RxJS 7: Reactive state management
• JSONPlaceholder: Fake REST API for user data

Module Federation Configuration

Host (React):

remotes: {
  remoteSvelte: 'remoteSvelte@http://localhost:3001/remoteEntry.js'
}

Remote (Svelte):

exposes: {
  './UserDetailSidebar': './src/UserDetailSidebar.js'
}

Customization

• Change API endpoint: Modify the fetch URL in host/src/App.jsx
• Styling: Update CSS files in respective apps
• Port numbers: Change ports in webpack configs
• Sidebar width: Adjust width in UserDetailSidebar.svelte styles

Production Build

cd host && npm run build
cd ../remote-svelte && npm run build
