Bundle

Bundles allow you to select components, reducers and actions common for different pages. Bundles are registered for the entire application, the name of the current bundle is taken from the current route, if they match, the application initializes the bundle:

  • searches in the bundle for components that match the pageComponent and layoutComponent from the route, saves them to the general case of components, then these components are used by the RenderModule when rendering the page
  • saves actions to the general action register
  • registers new reducers

Interface details createBundle

Dynamic bundle import

To highlight unnecessary code on each page, each bundle passed to createApp must have the signature () => Promise<{default: Bundle}>. All the code shared with the modules plugged into the application will remain in the main chunk of the application, and many bundles will weigh only a few KB, but as soon as one of the components of the bundle includes a heavy dependency, for example, a library with forms, it will completely fall into the corresponding bundle.

It is recommended to use dynamic import with the magic comment webpackChunkName to specify the name of the new chunk, for example:

() => import(/* webpackChunkName: "mainDefault" */ './bundles/mainDefault');

Default bundle

Each route must have properties bundle with the name of the bundle, pageComponent and layoutComponent with the names of the corresponding components. The default values ​​are as follows:

  • bundle: 'mainDefault'
  • pageComponent: 'pageDefault'
  • layoutComponent: 'layoutDefault'

When using the standard RenderModule, the LayoutModule is included, which will provide the layoutDefault and a separate mechanism for extending and overriding layout in the application, so there is no need to add the layoutDefault property to the components list of the bundle.

To create a bundle that will run on all application pages that do not have specific route settings, two steps are enough:

Create a bundle

import { createBundle } from '@tramvai/core';
import { MainPage } from './pages/MainPage';

export default createBundle({
name: 'mainDefault',
components: {
pageDefault: MainPage,
},
reducers: [],
actions: [],
});

Connect the bundle

import { createApp } from '@tramvai/core';

createApp({
name: 'myApp',
modules: [
// ...
],
providers: [
// ...
],
bundles: {
mainDefault: () => import(/* webpackChunkName: "mainDefault" */ './bundles/mainDefault'),
},
});
