# vite-plugin-federation

A Vite plugin which support Module Federation.

Inspired by Webpack Module Federation (opens new window) feature.

# Installation

# Use npm

npm install @originjs/vite-plugin-federation --save-dev

# Use yarn

yarn add @originjs/vite-plugin-federation --dev

# Usage

# change the configuration

  • For a Vite project, in vite.config.js :
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import federation from "@originjs/vite-plugin-federation";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    federation({
      name: 'module-name',
      filename: 'remoteEntry.js',
      exposes: {
        './Button': './src/Button.vue',
      },
      remotes:{
          foo: 'remote_foo'
      },
      shared: ['vue']
    })
  ],
})

  • For a Rollup project, in rollup.config.js :
import federation from '@originjs/vite-plugin-federation'


export default {
  input: 'src/index.js',
  output: {
    format: 'esm',
    dir: 'dist'
  },
  plugins: [
    federation({
      filename: 'remoteEntry.js',
      exposes: {
        './Button': './src/button'
      },
      shared: ['react']
    })
  ]
}

# asynchronous references

Vue2, for example:

<script>
export default {
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    RemoteButtonScoped: () => import('remote-simple/remote-simple-button-scoped'),
  }
}
</script>

# Use Remote module components

Vue2, for example:

<template>
  <div>
  		<RemoteButtonScoped />
  </div>
</template>

# Options

# exposes

# name

  • Type: string

Required as the module name of the remote module.

# filename

  • Type: string
  • Default: remoteEntry.js

As the entry file of the remote module, not required, default is remoteEntry.js .

As the remote module, the list of components exposed to the public, required for the remote module.

  exposes: {
      // 'exposed component name':'component path'
      './remote-simple-button': './src/components/Button.vue',
      './remote-simple-section': './src/components/Section.vue'
  },

# remotes

The remote module entry file referenced as a local module.

remotes: {
    // 'remote module name':'remote entry'
    'remote-simple': 'http://localhost:5011/remoteEntry.js',
},

# shared

Dependencies shared by local and remote modules. Local modules need to configure the dependencies of all used remote modules; remote modules need to configure the dependencies of externally provided components.

# import

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: true

Whether to add shared to the module, only for the remote side, remote will reduce some of the packaging time when this configuration is turned on, because there is no need to package some of the shared, but once there is no shared module available on the host side, it will report an error directly, because there is no fallback module available.

# shareScope

  • Type: string
  • Default: default

The shared domain name, just keep the remote and host sides the same.

# version

  • Type: string
  • Default: version of the package.json file in the shared package

Only works on host side. you need to configure it manually only if you can't get version.

# requiredVersion

  • Type: string
  • Default: null

Only for the remote side, it specifies the required version of the host shared used, when the version of the host side does not meet the requiredVersion requirement, it will use its own shared module, provided that it is not configured with import=false, which is not enabled by default.

# Examples

# Construct

vite-plugin-federation dependencies are required during the development and build process, and global installation is recommended.

  • rollup
  • vite

Part of example requires dependencies, recommended for global installation.

  • lerna
  • rimraf

Github CI build, not engineering required:

  • playwright-chromium
