Fullstack Nest.js and Angular MFE application

This project was generated using Nx.

Adding capabilities to your workspace

Nx supports many plugins which add capabilities for developing different types of applications and different tools.

These capabilities include generating applications, libraries, etc as well as the devtools to test, and build projects as well.

Below are our core plugins:

  • React
    • npm install --save-dev @nrwl/react
  • Web (no framework frontends)
    • npm install --save-dev @nrwl/web
  • Angular
    • npm install --save-dev @nrwl/angular
  • Nest
    • npm install --save-dev @nrwl/nest
  • Express
    • npm install --save-dev @nrwl/express
  • Node
    • npm install --save-dev @nrwl/node

There are also many community plugins you could add.

Notice

In production build MFE will be don`t work correctly, because MfeOutletDirective create component dynamically.

The production build runs an optimizer that strips the needed information. You could turn off AOT (check the angular.json configuration) and in this case the module and components will be compiled and runtime. But still, when built for production, the names of the components will be minified.

Generate an MFE application

This project has custom nx generator to automate the creation of MFE applications.

Run nx workspace-generator mfe my-mfe to generate an MFE application.

You can select that type of MFE you want to create - host or remote

Generate an application

Run nx g @nrwl/angular:app my-app to generate an application.

You can use any of the plugins above to generate applications as well.

When using Nx, you can create multiple applications and libraries in the same workspace.

Generate a library

Run nx g @nrwl/angular:lib my-lib to generate a library.

You can also use any of the plugins above to generate libraries as well.

Libraries are shareable across libraries and applications. They can be imported from @nx-mfe/my-lib.

Development host app

Run nx serve client-shell-app for a dev host app. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Development MFE app

Run nx serve client-auth-mfe for a dev MFE. Navigate to http://localhost and the port specified in workspace.json or angular.json. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Development server

Run nx serve server for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run nx g @nrwl/angular:component my-component --project=my-app to generate a new component.

Build

Run nx build my-app to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run nx test my-app to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Run nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e my-app to execute the end-to-end tests via Cypress.

Run nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.
