# single-spa-layout-app

This is a Vue application example used as NPM package in [single-spa-login-example-with-npm-packages](https://github.com/jualoppaz/single-spa-login-example-with-npm-packages) in order to register an application. See the installation instructions there.

## ✍🏻 Motivation

This is a vue application built as library which only contains the navbar and sidebar menus displayed after the user performs the required login.

## How it works ❓

There are several files for the right working of this application and they are:

- src/singleSpaEntry.js
- package.json
- vue.config.js

### src/singleSpaEntry.js

```javascript
/* eslint-disable import/no-unresolved */
import Vue from 'vue';
import singleSpaVue from 'single-spa-vue';

import { BootstrapVue } from 'bootstrap-vue';
import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core';
import { faGithub } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons';
import { faHome } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome';

import App from './App.vue';

library.add(faGithub);
library.add(faHome);

Vue.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon);

Vue.use(BootstrapVue);

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

const vueLifecycles = singleSpaVue({
  Vue,
  appOptions: {
    el: '#layout-app',
    render: (h) => h(App),
  },
});

export const { bootstrap } = vueLifecycles;
export const { mount } = vueLifecycles;
export const { unmount } = vueLifecycles;
```

The **eslint** comments are indicated due to **webpack external** dependencies. Without the **eslint** comments the build process will fail.\
The **vueLifecycles** object contains all **single-spa-vue** methods for the **single-spa** lifecycle of this app. All used config is default one but the custom config of the **el** option. It's assumed that an element with **layout-app** id is defined in the **index.html** where this application will be mounted.

### package.json

```json
{
  "name": "single-spa-layout-app",
  "version": "0.2.3",
  "description": "Vue application with header, navbar and footer for be included in a single-spa application as registered app.",

}
```

There are only two scripts in this project:

- **build**: for compile the application and build it as a **libray** in **umd** format
- **lint**: for run **eslint** in all project

There are only **devDependencies** because the application dependencies are defined as **webpack externals**.

### vue.config.js

```javascript
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  devServer: {
    writeToDisk: true,
  },
  configureWebpack: {
    output: {
      library: 'single-spa-layout-app',
      libraryTarget: 'umd',
      filename: 'single-spa-layout-app.js',
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    },
    plugins: [
      new webpack.optimize.LimitChunkCountPlugin({
        maxChunks: 1,
      }),
    ],
  },
  chainWebpack: (config) => {
    config.externals([
      '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core',
      '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons',
      '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons',
      '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome',
      'bootstrap',
      'bootstrap-vue',
      'single-spa-vue',
      'vue',
    ]);
  },
};
```

The needed options for the right build of the application as library are defined in the **configureWebpack.output** field.\
The **LimitChunkCountPlugin** is used for disable chunks for build process. It's not necessary but I prefer keep whole application in one chunk as it will be embedded in another one.\
Finally, in the **chainWebpack** field all common dependencies between **single spa** registered apps are defined as **externals**. In that way, all **single spa** registered apps will use the same dependencies and they will be imported only in the root project.
