How to work with micro frontend in v0?

[rafaelrviana (rflviana)]

Project 1: I am developing a project frontend in v0 called “Workflow Builder”. And it has an interface to create workflows. Whole workflow logic is inside WorkflowBuilder.tsx component.

Project 2: I started a new project for the rest of application (user managament, other CRUDs, etc). I would like to maintain projects separated. For better project organization inside my tech structure.

Both projects are being created inside v0 product.

How could I import in “Project 2” components from “Project 1”?

Hi there!

It’s great to see you keeping your projects modular for better organization. To share components between Project 1 and Project 2 within the same tech structure, here are a few approaches you could consider:

1. Create a Shared Component Library:

   • Extract reusable components (like your WorkflowBuilder.tsx) into a shared library or package within your v0 product.
   • You can use a tool like Lerna or Turborepo to manage multiple projects/packages in a monorepo setup.
   • Once extracted, import the shared components into both Project 1 and Project 2 as needed.

2. Use Relative Paths for Simplicity:

   • If both projects exist in the same repository or directory structure, you can import components using relative paths. For example:

     import WorkflowBuilder from '../Project1/components/WorkflowBuilder';
     

   • Be mindful of maintaining proper directory structure to avoid messy imports.

3. Set Up a Package in Your Project:

   • Package Project 1 components into a local npm package by creating a package.json inside the Project 1 folder.
   • Use npm/yarn to install the package locally in Project 2:

     npm install ../Project1
     

   • This approach ensures clear separation but requires you to maintain versioning for shared components.

4. Leverage Module Aliases:

   • Configure your bundler (Webpack, Vite, etc.) or TypeScript to use aliases for easier imports. For example:

     "paths": {
       "@workflow-builder/*": ["../Project1/*"]
     }
     

   • This keeps your import paths clean while maintaining project separation.

Which approach you choose depends on your team’s preferences and the scale of shared functionality. For larger, reusable components, a shared library is the most scalable option.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you’d like further clarification on any of the steps!
