This project shows an example of using Webpack 5 Module Federation with Angular v11-next.5, note the use of yarn, this is required to override the webpack version for the angular cli

• Install packages: yarn install
• Start the mdmf-shell: ng serve mdmf-shell
• Start the Microfrontend: ng serve mdmf-profile
• Open the shell http://localhost:4200
• Click the profile navigation link to load the remote Microfrontend

To enable use of Webpack 5 with the angular cli you must use yarn as your package manager, it allows you to override the webpack dependencies for the CLI. The package.json contains the following section to override webpack to use version 5 instead of 4:

  "resolutions": {
    "webpack": "5.0.0"
  },

The shell project located in: projects/mdmf-shell folder, its contains the shell application which is used to load remote Microfrontends using dynamic routing constructed from the Microfrontend array. The list of Microfrontends can be loaded from a config if required, but for the example it is just an hardcoded array.

The profile project located in: projects/mdmf-profile contains a profile module with some child routes configured. The profile module is exposed as a remote module within the Module Federation config:

plugins: [
  new ModuleFederationPlugin({
    name: "profile",
    library: { type: "var", name: "profile" },
    filename: "remoteEntry.js",
    exposes: {
      ProfileModule:
        "./projects/mdmf-profile/src/app/profile/profile.module.ts",
    },
    shared: ["@angular/core", "@angular/common", "@angular/router"],
  }),
];
