Common pitfalls
1. Version Conflicts
Problem: Different micro frontends use different versions of shared libraries.
Solution:
// Use singleton pattern for critical libraries
shared: {
react: {
singleton: true,
strictVersion: true,
requiredVersion: '^18.2.0'
}
}
2. Performance Issues
Problem: Loading too many micro frontends slows down the app.
Solution:
- Use code splitting and lazy loading
- Implement intelligent preloading
- Monitor bundle sizes
// Lazy load with prefetch
const ProductsMFE = lazy(() => {
const promise = import('products/ProductList');
// Prefetch during idle time
requestIdleCallback(() => promise);
return promise;
});
3. Styling Conflicts
Problem: CSS from different micro frontends conflicts.
Solution:
- Use CSS Modules or CSS-in-JS
- Implement naming conventions
- Use Shadow DOM
4. State Management Complexity
Problem: Sharing state between micro frontends is complex.
Solution:
- Minimize shared state
- Use event-driven communication
- Implement a shared state library only when necessary
