Frontend

Frontend Monolith or modular​

Monolith​

  • Native mobile & rich client apps: Cordova
  • SPAs(Single Page Apps)
  • Single team
  • migration

Modularized frontend​

Each microservice has an frontend, then we need to have an integration system.

Integration options​

  • links
  • redirects: combine frontend integration with data transfer.
  • transclusions: combining the content of a website with the content of another website

Resource-oriented Client Architecture (ROCA) principles​

  • Adherence to REST principles
  • Accessible information via HTML, JSON or XML.
  • Logic on server
  • Authentication in HTTP request
  • Cookies for authentication, tracking or protection against cross-site request forgery.
  • No server-side sessions
  • Browser controls.
  • No layout in HTML: separate content and layout with CSS>
  • JavaScript only for progressive enhancement
  • No redundant logic.

Benefits​

  • Loose coupling
  • Logic and UI in one microservice
  • free choice of frontend technologies.
