Loading Function
Please also read the overview of the bootstrapping mounting and unmounting lifecycles.
The loadingFn is the primary function for mounting the view. It is required to be defined for each of the AKASHA Core's micro-frontend type:
- application
- widget
- extension-point
- content-block
Single-spa library (which is implemented under the hood) handles these micro-frontends through some lifecycle methods:
- bootstrap
- mount
- unmount
- update (optional)
The update lifecycle method is not currently used in this project.
The loading function should return a Promise which when resolved, returns these lifecycle hooks.
For React, and other popular ui libraries, single-spa provides adapter libraries to automatically call the rendering functions of these ui libs. For React, it's called single-spa-react. If you are interested to dive deeper, you can check their docs
