library1.11.8jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin enabling Module Federation for Rollup, allowing micro-frontend architectures with shared dependencies and remote entry points. Current stable version 1.11.8, released about 2 months ago, with moderate release cadence. Differentiator: brings Webpack Module Federation concepts to Rollup, targeting Node >= 18, with no known alternatives for Rollup. Provides exposure of `exposes` and `remotes` in Rollup configuration.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

moduleFederationPlugin

✓ import { moduleFederationPlugin } from 'rollup-plugin-module-federation'

✗ const moduleFederationPlugin = require('rollup-plugin-module-federation')

Package is ESM-only since v1; requires Node >= 18.

ModuleFederationPlugin

✓ import { ModuleFederationPlugin } from 'rollup-plugin-module-federation'

✗ import ModuleFederationPlugin from 'rollup-plugin-module-federation'

Default export is not available; always use named import. Both `moduleFederationPlugin` and `ModuleFederationPlugin` exist as aliases.

rollup-plugin-module-federation

✓ import pkg from 'rollup-plugin-module-federation'

There is no default export; this import only works if you are using a bundler or Node ESM that allows default import from a module with only named exports, but it's not recommended.

Minimal Rollup configuration with moduleFederationPlugin to expose Button and consume remote from another app, with shared React dependencies.

import { moduleFederationPlugin } from 'rollup-plugin-module-federation'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', plugins: [ moduleFederationPlugin({ name: 'my_app', filename: 'remoteEntry.js', exposes: { './Button': './src/Button.js', }, remotes: { 'my_other_app': 'http://localhost:3001/remoteEntry.js', }, shared: { react: { singleton: true }, 'react-dom': { singleton: true }, }, }), ], output: { dir: 'dist', format: 'esm', }, };

Debug

Known issues

breakingPackage requires Node >= 18.0.0. Older versions will fail with syntax errors.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to version 18 or above.

affects: <18.0.0

breakingESM-only; CommonJS require() will throw an error.

fix

Use import syntax or dynamic import. If using CommonJS, use dynamic import: const plugin = await import('rollup-plugin-module-federation');

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe plugin supports both 'moduleFederationPlugin' and 'ModuleFederationPlugin' as named exports, but default export is not available.

fix

Always use named import: import { moduleFederationPlugin } from 'rollup-plugin-module-federation';

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe plugin does not support all Webpack Module Federation features; e.g., dynamic loading of remotes may require additional configuration.

fix

Review the plugin's documentation for supported options; test remote loading behavior.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ERR_REQUIRE_ESM: require() of ES Module

Using require() with an ESM-only package in Node < 18 or without --experimental-require-module flag.

fix

Use import() or switch to Node >= 18 with package.json type: module or use dynamic import.

Module not found: Default condition should be last one

Webpack-like error when using this plugin with a bundler that doesn't support ESM exports field properly.

fix

Ensure your bundler (e.g., Rollup, webpack) supports the 'exports' field in package.json.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'exposes')

Missing or misconfigured options object passed to plugin.

fix

Ensure options includes 'name' and at least one of 'exposes' or 'remotes'.
