State management with Module Federation

As you may have noticed by now, our custom state management system, which uses sessionStorage, continues to work seamlessly with Module Federation. This is because, from a React perspective, it all looks like a regular React application, with modules being lazy-loaded. So, one of the benefits of Module Federation is that we can use any of the regular state management concepts, such as prop drilling, context API, or libraries such as Redux or Zustand, to manage the state.

In this section, we will make use of the Zustand state management library as it is extremely user-friendly and has zero boilerplate code.

Now, logically, especially for those who use a lot of context API, we would be inclined to have the store within App-shell and have the other micro apps consume it. However, with Module Federation, this would not be ideal, because the store would need to be exposed as a remote app and imported into other micro apps that act as hosts....
