Summary

Adds apps/rsc-demo/: a React 19 RSC + Module Federation reference implementation (host app1, remote app2) with three explicit webpack layers (client / rsc / ssr).

Goals:

  • “Monolithic” UX: no placeholder components and no silent SSR fallbacks
  • MF-native server actions are the default (in-process); HTTP forwarding exists only as fallback
  • Correct React condition/share-scope resolution per layer (rsc vs client)
  • SSR export-retention fix at build time (no runtime Proxy/placeholder hacks)

Key pieces

  • Three webpack compilations per app

    • client: browser hydration + react-client-manifest.json + mf-manifest.json
    • rsc: server Flight + react-server-actions-manifest.json + mf-manifest.server.json
    • ssr: render HTML from Flight (ssr-worker.js) + react-ssr-manifest.json + mf-manifest.ssr.json
  • Build scripts (both apps use the same layout)

    • app1: apps/rsc-demo/packages/app1/scripts/{client,server,ssr}.build.js + apps/rsc-demo/packages/app1/scripts/build.js
    • app2: apps/rsc-demo/packages/app2/scripts/{client,server,ssr}.build.js + apps/rsc-demo/packages/app2/scripts/build.js
  • Shared demo helpers (moved to /packages)

    • @rsc-demo/app-shared: packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/
      • Webpack build-time helpers: packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/webpack/*
      • MF runtime plugins: packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/runtime/*
  • MF manifest metadata is auto-generated

    • packages/manifest/src/rscManifestMetadata.ts derives additionalData.rsc.exposeTypes from the webpack compilation module graph ("use client" / "use server").
    • Publishes additionalData.rsc.serverActionsManifest and additionalData.rsc.clientManifest as asset names (resolved relative to the remote mf-manifest URL at runtime).
  • Shared demo RSC module (singleton)

    • @rsc-demo/shared in packages/rsc-demo-shared/ provides a shared client widget + shared server actions.
    • Used by both apps to validate shared client refs and shared server-action state behavior.
  • MF-native server actions (default)

    • packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/runtime/rscRuntimePlugin.js registers remote actions from mf-manifest.server.json + react-server-actions-manifest.json.
    • Uses a global runtime singleton for caches/indexing so action ownership is consistent even when the runtime plugin code is bundled multiple times.
    • E2E asserts the host executes remote actions in-process (no HTTP proxy hop).
  • Server actions auto-bootstrap (no loose requires)

    • packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/webpack/CollectServerActionsPlugin.js reads the RSDW client loader’s serverReferencesMap and records the discovered "use server" modules.
    • packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/webpack/ServerActionsBootstrapPlugin.js creates a virtual bootstrap entry that require(...)s those modules so registerServerReference() runs.
  • SSR export retention (no placeholders)

    • packages/rsc-demo-app-shared/webpack/AutoIncludeClientComponentsPlugin.js uses compilation.addInclude(...) + setUsedInUnknownWay(...) for modules referenced by react-client-manifest.json.
    • In multi-compiler builds, it waits on the in-process __MF_RSC_CLIENT_MANIFEST_REGISTRY__ (no filesystem polling fallback).
  • Patched react-server-dom-webpack@19.2.0 (no vendored distro committed)

    • Applied via pnpm.patchedDependencies
    • Patch file: patches/react-server-dom-webpack@19.2.0.patch
    • Adds rsc-*-loader entrypoints + manifest timing/merging fixes + global server-action registry

Docs

  • RSC_MF_ARCHITECTURE.md (single consolidated guide with Mermaid diagrams)

Testing

  • pnpm install
  • pnpm build:pkg
  • npx nx run rsc-demo:build --skip-nx-cache
  • npx nx run rsc-demo:test:rsc --skip-nx-cache
  • npx nx run rsc-demo:test:e2e --skip-nx-cache

Notes

  • CI uses Node 18; local Node 22 will show workspace engine warnings.

- Use globalThis for server action registry to ensure true singleton

- Make getCount async (React requires server actions to be async)
- Fix clearAppCaches to preserve registry (actions only register at
  bundle load)
- Update cross-app tests to check relative state changes instead of
  absolute values
- Skip HTTP forwarding tests (require full server runtime)
- Fix port handling in HTTP forwarding tests to avoid EADDRINUSE

Re-enable HTTP forwarding tests - they may fail but should be fixed
rather than skipped.

- use response.text() instead of streaming with getReader() for more
  reliable response handling in forwardActionToRemote
- add warmup request in tests to ensure RSC bundle is fully initialized
  (handles asyncStartup)
- improve port retry logic with new server instance per attempt
- preserve original fetch for HTTP forwarding tests

All 19 cross-app action tests now pass.

P1 Badge Add module-federation deps to app1 manifest

app1’s build pipeline requires @module-federation/enhanced/webpack and @module-federation/node/runtimePlugin (see scripts/build.js) but the package manifest doesn’t declare either dependency, only Babel/webpack toolchains. On a filtered install (pnpm install --filter app1 or building the package outside the monorepo), pnpm won’t link these modules into app1’s node_modules and pnpm --filter app1 build fails with “Cannot find module '@module-federation/enhanced/webpack'”. Please add the module-federation packages to app1’s deps/devDeps like app2 does so the build works when the package is installed on its own.
