Responsive Frontend Magic - MicroFrontend Implementation Hacks
MicroFrontends, an approach to developing web applications as a composition of features owned by different teams, has emerged as a game-changer in web development. Here are some hacks to assist your implementation:
- Use Framework Agnostic Components: To ensure your micro apps can operate with any framework, it's advisable to use custom elements.
class MyElement extends HTMLElement {
// Your element's functionality here
}
customElements.define('my-element', MyElement);
- State Management: For managing states across micro apps, use a library like Redux. Share only necessary global state.
const store = createStore(reducer);
-
Consistent Styling: Implement a shared style guide across teams to maintain a consistent user interface.
-
Test Independently: Each micro app should be independently testable and deployable.
-
Performance Check: Use Lighthouse or similar tools to measure the performance of your micro frontends.
Remember, the goal is to create a cohesive user experience while breaking up the frontend into manageable, independent parts. Happy Coding!
