npm install react react-dom
Install development dependencies for Webpack and Babel:
npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli babel-loader @babel/core @babel/preset-env @babel/preset-react
3. Set Up Your Project Structure
Create the following directory structure:
my-micro-frontend/
├── src/
│ └── MyComponent.jsx
├── dist/
├── package.json
├── webpack.config.js
4. Create Your Component
In src/MyComponent.jsx
, add your actual component code):
5. Configure Webpack
In webpack.config.js
, add the following configuration:
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
entry: './src/MyComponent.jsx',
output: {
filename: 'my-component-bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
libraryTarget: 'window',
library: 'MyMicroFrontend',
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['@babel/preset-env', '@babel/preset-react'],
},
},
},
],
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js', '.jsx'],

externals: {
react: 'React',
'react-dom': 'ReactDOM',
},
};
