Creating a micro frontend application with standalone components
To exemplify the use of the micro frontend architecture in our gym diary, we will create a form to define new exercises for our users. Let’s create another Angular project, simulating a new team that will specifically take care of this functionality. In your operating system’s command line, use the following command:
ng new gym_exercises --skip-git --standalone --routing false --style css
We learned about the ng new
command in Chapter 1, Starting Projects the Right Way, but here we are using some parameters that we haven’t seen before. We are using the skip-git
parameter because, in this example, we are creating it in the same Git project (which already has the gym-diary
and gym-backend
projects). The routing
parameter is set to false
because our project will be loaded in the diary application route, and the style
parameter is set to CSS
so the Angular CLI does not need to ask what type of styling...
