Microfrontends a Developer's Guide: Tools, Technologies, and Step-by-Step Setup

Microfrontend tools facilitate the implementation of multiple frontend applications in a single project. Webpack Module Federation enables sharing code at runtime, while Single-Spa offers runtime integration and a framework-agnostic approach. Vite Plugin Federation provides module federation for Vite, Open Components focuses on server-side rendering, and Luigi simplifies navigation management. Piral allows for modular frontend development, Mosaic emphasizes team collaboration, and Single-Spa was chosen due to its comprehensive documentation, active community, and versatile use cases. To set up microfrontends with Single-Spa, create a root config application, set up microfrontend applications, configure import maps, establish routing and navigation, and manage shared dependencies. This step-by-step guide provides a solid foundation for implementing microfrontends using Single-Spa.
