Example project explanation

In this example we have 4 angular projects running on different URLs.

The project is configured to act as parent (4200), parent's child (4201), parent child with it's own child (parent 2) (4202) and parent 2's child.

In this example we use library through MicroFrontendComponent to see some capabilities.

Install dependency

npm i @rgarciadelongoria/micro-frontend

Setting up parent.

<iframe #child src="http://localhost:4201" name="child"></iframe>

@ViewChild('child') iframeChild!: ElementRef;

constructor(private microFrontendSrv: MicroFrontendService) { }

ngOnInit(): void {
    this.microFrontendSrv.init();
    this.microFrontendSrv.getOnMessageObservable().subscribe((message: any) => {
        // Do something with the received message
    });
}

ngAfterViewInit(): void {
    this.microFrontendLibComponent.addMicroFrontend({elementRef: this.iframeChild});
}

Setting up child.

constructor(private microFrontendSrv: MicroFrontendService) { }

ngOnInit(): void {
    this.microFrontendSrv.init(['http://localhost:4200']);
    this.microFrontendSrv.getOnMessageObservable().subscribe((message: any) => {
        // Do something with the received message
    });
