#Introduction

Micro-frontend (MFE) is an architecture style similar to microservices. It is a composition of multiple independently delivered frontend applications, forming a cohesive whole. MFE decomposes frontend applications into smaller, simpler applications that can be developed, tested, and deployed independently while still appearing as a cohesive single product to users.

It primarily addresses two problems:

• Difficulty in maintaining large and complex applications as they evolve over time.
• Inefficiency caused by cross-team or cross-department collaboration in project development.

#Keyword

In the micro frontend, applications are divided into main application, and sub-applications.

• Main application: The base project of the micro frontend project, all sub-applications will be loaded by it.
• Sub-application: An application developed and deployed independently will eventually be loaded by the main application.

#Features

• Base on Garfish
• Generator supports
• Support React component-based reference micro-front-end sub-application
• Support loading
• Support main application online and sub-application offline debugging mode
