vite-plugin-federation VS jotai

Today, we'll delve into Module Federation using the Vite Plugin, an excellent tool created by Originjs to develop micro-frontend applications with Vite.

In my most recent project, I needed to build an application with micro-frontends. Starting my research in this area, I found that the Vite plugin for supporting Module Federation is not stable. In particular, I faced an issue that is still open, raising doubts about its usage. Meanwhile, create-react-app works with Module Federation without any issues. I had to make this difficult decision back then, endure the slow webpack build in favor of stability. 😓

Vite is largely modular in that a basic installation will not have the features you want but there seems to be a plugin for everything. As far as module federation goes there is this plugin to support it I haven’t used it personally but I’ve also not had any issues with any of the plugins I’ve used. Seems to be fairly solid. You can continue to use webpack if you prefer. Vue 3 will work either way. I just started using vite because the initial setup and configuration was cleaner and easier to use in my opinion.

It looks like there is a plugin for that. https://github.com/originjs/vite-plugin-federation

Daishi Kato, creator of Zustand and Jotai, says there are a few things we need to support RSC serialization:

I've just published jotai-wrapper, a super tiny and simple utility library that makes using jotai even simpler. It comes from the necessity to migrate a project with react-context-slices to jotai. Both libraries share a similar API. While in react-context-slices you have the useSlice hook, in jotai you have the useAtom, useSetAtom, and useAtomValue hooks. In react-context-slices you define either React Context or Redux slices, while in jotai you define atoms. The need for the migration from the first to the second was a high memory usage by react-context-slices when using React Context slices.

Atom-based: splits states into tiny pieces of data called atoms, which can be written to and read from using React hooks. In this group, we have Recoil and Jotai.

jotai Is the signal based state manager I recommended, offering the best developer experience (in my opinion) as it eliminates the necessity to define and update a global store

Jotai 🧙‍♂️

Atomic libs include Recoil, Jotai, and the one I maintain: Zedux. Zedux especially was designed to work well with sockets and RxJS observables and has been getting some traction recently, so of course I recommend checking it out. Feel free to hmu with any questions.

Global State Machine: Jotai (great for any state that needs to be stored globally for your application)
