## About
This project was initially forked from [this repo](https://github.com/sasoria/astro-microfrontends), then moved to a new repo for a cleaner history.
This demo takes advantage of EcmaScript Modules (ESM) and url-imports to do client-side composition of microfrontends. Express is used for serving assets, but ideally one would have a dedicated CDN hosting them.
## Features
- ✨ Client-side composition of microfrontends
- 📦 Multiframeworks with Astro Islands
- 🚀 SSG/SSR supported by Astro
## Usage
### Micro frontends
- Build each micro frontend with `npm run build`
- Start each micro frontend with `npm run preview`
For production you would start the node server in the `server` folder, after building.
### Shell
- Build the shell with `npm run build`
- Start the shell with `npm run preview`
## Shared dependencies
Dependencies such as react and react-dom are shared across applications. They are fetched from [esm.sh](https://esm.sh/) and gets cached in the browser, reducing the bundle size. Each app can share other dependencies as well through url imports.
