use Remote App inside an app (php + nginx)

[jchurque]

Hello,

I would like to know if it’s possible to create a Remote Component — a kind of micro-frontend — that could be loaded into a PHP application in a fully isolated way, without conflicting with the existing CSS or JavaScript.

Thank you very much for your help

Hi @jchurque!

The Remote Component implementation in @lazarv/react-server is framework-specific and only works within applications that use this framework. The remote-components package targets framework-agnostic use with a <remote-component> custom element, but it's not yet open source or production-ready.

Also, there's no sandbox mode to run Remote Components in a fully isolated way right now. They are a way to integrate a component into the existing React tree seamlessly, within a horizontal micro-frontend approach, with support for shared modules. The only encapsulation mode at the moment is isolate with open/closed, which creates a Shadow DOM wrapper for the Remote Component in the specified mode. Still, it is only a partial solution for CSS and has its own limitations. There's no available solution with Remote Components to run the remote component's JavaScript code in isolation.

In the future, enhancements could be made to either the @lazarv/react-server framework or the remote-components library to support additional use cases, such as improved cross-framework compatibility or a sandboxed mode.
