@nx/angular:module-federation-dev-server

The module-federation-dev-server executor is reserved exclusively for use with host Module Federation applications. It allows the user to specify which remote applications should be served with the host.

Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/reference/project-configuration#targets.

Examples

The Module Federation Dev Server will serve a host application and find the remote applications associated with the host and serve them statically also.
See an example set up of it below:

1{ 2 "serve": { 3 "executor": "@nx/angular:module-federation-dev-server", 4 "configurations": { 5 "production": { 6 "buildTarget": "host:build:production" 7 }, 8 "development": { 9 "buildTarget": "host:build:development" 10 } 11 }, 12 "defaultConfiguration": "development", 13 "options": { 14 "port": 4200, 15 "publicHost": "http://localhost:4200" 16 } 17 } 18} 19
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/

Default: []

List of hosts that are allowed to access the dev server.

buildTarget

A build builder target to serve in the format of project:target[:configuration].

disableHostCheck
