@akinon/app-client v1.0.1

Akinon App Client Library

The app-client library provides a React context and hooks for integrating micro-frontend applications with the main application shell, enabling actions like navigation, displaying modals, and other inter-app communications.

Installation

To add the app-client library to your project, run:

pnpm install @akinon/app-client

Usage

First, wrap your micro-frontend's root component with the AppClientProvider:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { AppClientProvider } from '@akinon/app-client';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(
  <AppClientProvider config={{ isDev: true }}>
    <App />
  </AppClientProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Then, use the useAppClient hook within your components to access client functionalities:

import React from 'react';
import { useAppClient } from '@akinon/app-client';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { navigate } = useAppClient();

  return <button onClick={() => navigate('/path')}>Go somewhere</button>;
};
