Getting Started

Introduction

The Atriom webpack plugin extracts data from the webpack build process and writes a .dat file to a user-specified output path. This plugin is intended for use with applications built with the Webpack 5 ModuleFederationPlugin. The generated .dat file will contain the following information:

• name and id of the application
• application dependencies
• development dependencies
• optional dependencies
• application remote
• overrides
• consumed modules
• exposed modules

Prerequisites

• Webpack version 5.31.0 or higher

Installation

npm i --save-dev atriom-plugin

Usage

Add Atriom plugin and configuration to your webpack.config.js file.

Example

const AtriomPlugin = require('atriom-plugin');
const path = require('path');

plugins: [
    ...
    new AtriomPlugin({
        filename: "ATRIOM",
        outputPath: path.join(__dirname, "../"),
    }),
    ...
]

Key	Description
filename	Name of the output file*
outputPath	File path for the .dat file generated by the plugin**

*The fileName in each federated application's webpack.config.js file must be identical.

**The outputPath for each federated application must point to the same location.


Once the plugin has been added and configured correctly, simply run your build script for each federated application:

webpack --mode production

The Atriom plugin will generate a .dat file at the specified location, which is ready to be used with the Atriom Dashboard.

atriom-plugin's Issues

Question: This should be shared warning.

Can i get some more context on why some modules say they should be shared even tho the other mf doesn’t use it?
