⏰ It’s time to talk about Import Map, Micro Frontend, and Nx Monorepo

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • es-module-shims

    Shims for new ES modules features on top of the basic modules support in browsers

  • For full compatibility and extra features, we usually use the library es-module-shims.

  • import-map-overrides

    A browser and NodeJS javascript library for overriding import maps

  • I've previously employed importmaps in one of my micro-frontend projects alongside single-spa and the importmap overrides library. This approach significantly enhances the developer experience in complex environments by allowing direct integration of a local server into an integration server (more info in the YouTube video from Joel Denning).

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • You should have a look to them import-map-deployerlibrary which enable to update animportmap.json directly on the server

  • module-federation-plugin

  • Use more importmap default behaviours #489

  • nx-nf

    POC repository showing Nx Native Federation and Importmap Override Configurations

  • full code here https://github.com/jogelin/nx-nf/tree/poc-load-remote-overrides

  • single-spa

    The router for easy microfrontends

  • Joel Denning is the visionary behind single-spa, boasting profound insights into the true mechanics of the web and is, in my view, a pioneer in micro frontend architecture. I highly recommend checking the single-spa website and his YouTube channel. While the videos might appear dated at first glance, rest assured, Joel is ahead of his time, and the content remains incredibly relevant today.

  • nx

    Smart Monorepos · Fast CI

  • The advent of esbuild, the native support for ES Modules in browsers, the widespread adoption of import map, the emergence of tools like Native Federation, and the Nx ecosystem all combine to forge a flexible and well-maintained Micro Frontend Architecture.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • esbuild

    An extremely fast bundler for the web

  • The advent of esbuild, the native support for ES Modules in browsers, the widespread adoption of import map, the emergence of tools like Native Federation, and the Nx ecosystem all combine to forge a flexible and well-maintained Micro Frontend Architecture.

  • Angular

    Deliver web apps with confidence 🚀

  • Just to give you more context, I led the migration of several AngularJS applications to the newer Angular Framework. My client finally decided to make that move following the AngularJS deprecation announcement (stay up to date please 🙏)️.
