single-spa-angular-app

This is an Angular v8 application example used as NPM package in single-spa-login-example-with-npm-packages in order to register an application. See the installation instructions there.

✍🏻 Motivation

This is an Angular v8 application which contains two routed pages for embbed the app inside a root single-spa application.

How it works ❓

There are several files for the right working of this application and they are:

• src/app/app.module.ts
• src/app/app-routing.module.ts
• src/main.single-spa.ts
• angular.json
• extra-webpack.config.ts
• package.json

This file has no custom config. But we must set desired config here if needed.

src/app/app.module.ts

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';
import { ListComponent } from './list/list.component';
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [
    {provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: '/'}
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

As this application will be mounted when browser url starts with /angular, we need to provide the APP_BASE_HREF property with /angular value. However, as is documented here, this config causes strange behaviours in angular router when navigating between registered apps.

A simple way of avoid this is set / as value of APP_BASE_HREF property and repeat angular prefix in all routes as you can see in app-routing.module.ts file.

src/app/app-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

import {ListComponent} from './list/list.component';
import {DetailComponent} from './detail/detail.component';
import {EmptyRouteComponent} from './empty-route/empty-route.component';

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'angular', component: ListComponent },
  { path: 'angular/detail',      component: DetailComponent },
  { path: '**', component: EmptyRouteComponent }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

As it is explained in src/app/app.module.ts section we need to add angular prefix in every routes.

src/main.single-spa.ts

import { enableProdMode, NgZone } from '@angular/core';

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
import { environment } from './environments/environment';
import singleSpaAngular from 'single-spa-angular';
import { singleSpaPropsSubject } from './single-spa/single-spa-props';

if (environment.production) {
  enableProdMode();
}

const lifecycles = singleSpaAngular({
  bootstrapFunction: singleSpaProps => {
    singleSpaPropsSubject.next(singleSpaProps);
    return platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);
  },
  template: '<app-root />',
  Router,
  NgZone,
  domElementGetter: () => document.getElementById('angular-app')
});

export const bootstrap = lifecycles.bootstrap;
export const mount = lifecycles.mount;
export const unmount = lifecycles.unmount;

The lifecycles object contains all single-spa-angular methods for the single-spa lifecycle of this app. All used config is default one but the custom config of the domElementGetter option. It's assumed that an element with angular-app id is defined in the index.html where this application will be mounted.

The essential config is in @angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser builder. Be care of this config is autogenerated when install single-spa-angular.

extra-webpack.config.js

const singleSpaAngularWebpack = require('single-spa-angular/lib/webpack').default

module.exports = (angularWebpackConfig, options) => {
  const singleSpaWebpackConfig = singleSpaAngularWebpack(angularWebpackConfig, options)

  // Feel free to modify this webpack config however you'd like to
  return singleSpaWebpackConfig
}

There are several scripts in this project:

• ng: for use global ng cli
• test: use for run unit tests
• lint: for run eslint in all project
• build:single-spa: for compile the application and build it as a libray in umd format
