How to effectively design micro-frontends to synchronize state across different micro-frontends??
Since each micro-frontend is designed to be independent and self-contained, they typically have their own local state, which can lead to inconsistencies and errors if not managed properly.
Micro-frontends may need to share state, such as user authentication data or configuration settings, but without a centralized mechanism for managing this state, it can be difficult to ensure consistency and avoid conflicts.?Redux can be leveraged as centralized state management system to manage shared state and provide a unified API for accessing state across micro-frontends. There are pros and cons of using Redux as centralized state management system.
Other approaches are to use event emitter, custom events, or reactive streams using a pub/sub implementation to facilitate communication between micro-frontends.
