Decomposition Strategies for Large Applications

Introduction

Micro Frontends is an architectural style that enables the development of large-scale web applications by breaking them down into smaller, independent, and manageable pieces. This lesson explores decomposition strategies for large applications, focusing on how to effectively segment functionalities while ensuring the coherence of user experience.

Decomposition Strategies

Code Example

Here is a simple code example demonstrating how to create a micro frontend for a product catalog.

                // ProductCatalog.js
                import React from 'react';

                const ProductCatalog = () => {
                    const products = [
                        { id: 1, name: 'Product 1', price: '$10' },
                        { id: 2, name: 'Product 2', price: '$20' },
                    ];

                    return (
                        

                            
Product Catalog
                            

                                {products.map(product => (
                                    

                                        {product.name} - {product.price}
                                    
                                ))}
                            
                        
                    );
                };

                export default ProductCatalog;
            

Best Practices

To ensure effective decomposition of micro frontends, consider these best practices:

1. Maintain clear boundaries between micro frontends.
2. Use shared libraries for common functionalities to avoid duplication.
3. Establish a communication protocol for inter-micro frontend interactions.
4. Implement independent deployment pipelines for each micro frontend.
