Provide a way to configure module in an async way

[out-dev]

First - Great job your lib simplifies so much.

Can you offer a way to configure the modul asynchronously.

You could inject the NgxMfeOptions in forRoot or offer another method
forRootAsync(options$: Obeservable) | forRootAsync(options$: Promise)

So that the individual mfe configurations can also be obtained via api or fetch.

ngx-mfe/projects/ngx-mfe/src/lib/mfe.module.ts

Line 25 in 72b0ec6

public static forRoot(options: NgxMfeOptions): ModuleWithProviders<MfeModule> {

Can you load your config when app is starting?

For example:

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, HttpClientModule],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
  providers: [{
    provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
    useFactory: loadConfig,
    deps: [HttpClient],
    multi: true
  }]
})
export class AppModule {}

[out-dev]

Yes I can but if forRoot(xxx) is called the providers gets overriden right?

Or what is your idea?

Ps: Great response time ;-)

[out-dev]

Unfotunatly "@angular-architects/module-federation" does not provide already loaded MFE Manifest

yes

Or what is your idea?

I collect all requirements of your problem, and try to form a universal solution that would suit not only your case

[dkhrunov]

Can you give me more code with your sample ?
Have you example repository?

[dkhrunov]

You want load MFE Manifest and provide it to forRoot({ mfeConfig: ##here## }) as Promise or Observable, right?
Or you want load all config for configure lib forRoot(##all config as Promise or Observable##)?

[out-dev]

Currently my MFE configuration comes from an Api call.
I would like to use the result for the following configuration NgxMfeOptions['mfeConfig'].

I can make the API call in the APP_INITIALIZER or in a factory but how can I use the result in forRoot or make it known to the MfeModule for configuration?

Or am I completely blind?

[dkhrunov]

Now i need time to figure out a solution, I m comeback when have solution.

Have you example repository?

Hi,
currently I have implement microfrontends with @angular-architects/module-federation and using the manifest concept so basically using loadRemoteModule method in routing with type = 'manifest'

If I implement this library is it possible for ngx-mfe to read the manifest directly as anyhow loadManifest is called in the main.ts ?

Hi, idk, I haven't worked with the mfe concept in production for a long time.
Can you provide me with a code sample or repository, it's hard to answer a question without diving into the problem.

@out-dev Hi, you can now try to load your config asynchronously [Pull request #19], like this:

MfeModule.forRoot({
  mfeConfig: {
    useLoader:  (http: HttpClient): Observable<MfeConfig> => http.get<MfeConfig>('/manifest.json'),
    deps: [HttpClient]
  },
})

Update lib to v15.1.0.

Will try it out :-)
