Ag Grid Support: Unlocking Seamless Collaboration with Module Federation

In modern web development, it's common to encounter complex applications that require multiple modules or builds to function together seamlessly. This is where module federation comes into play, enabling teams to create separate builds that can communicate and share code between them. In this article, we'll delve into the world of ag grid support and explore how module federation can streamline collaboration and enhance overall application performance.

How Module Federation Works

Module federation allows each build to access any other exposed module by loading it from its container. This means that high-level concepts like circular dependencies between containers are possible, enabling modules to use resources from other containers. The evaluation order remains unaffected, whether a module is converted from local to remote or vice versa.

The process involves two steps: chunk loading and module evaluation. Chunk loading typically occurs when an `import()` call is made, while older constructs like `require.ensure` or `require()` are also supported. A container entry exposes asynchronous access to specific modules, allowing for seamless communication between builds.

Remote Modules vs Local Modules

Module federation distinguishes between remote modules, which are loaded at runtime from a remote container, and local modules, which are part of the current build. Remote modules can be loaded asynchronously during chunk loading operations, which are placed in the next available operation(s) before reaching the entrypoint.

To get started with module federation, check out this live example on StackBlitz, which demonstrates the power of Micro-Frontends. By breaking down complex applications into separate builds that can expose and consume code between them, developers can create a unified application that's more maintainable and scalable.

Ag grid support through module federation offers a powerful solution for teams looking to streamline collaboration and enhance application performance. By enabling separate builds to communicate and share resources, developers can create complex applications that are easier to manage and maintain. Whether you're building a micro-frontends architecture or simply seeking to improve code organization, module federation is an essential tool to have in your web development arsenal.
