Topic: Keep getting error "invalid hook call" trying to use package components across microfrontend apps

Bridget Melvin premium asked 1 year ago


Expected behavior to render MdbButton in container app as it is imported from (I'm using the pro version and failed to install via npm with access token - it fails from command line every time because command line cannot sign into )

Actual behavior Given I manually downloaded the package and re-configured webpack to act as a remote via ModuleFederationPlugin (as well as created my own /public and /src folders within the root package), I create a file for each MDB React UI Kit component I want to use and create a new remote for that component. The button renders fine within the mdb5 microfrontend app. But when I remote into the button within the container app, the button will not render. Is the container app missing packages or what is missing here? I keep getting this error no matter my configuration.

  1. What errors do you get while installing with npm?
  2. You could try downloading the zip: mdb-react-ui-kit-4.0.0.tgz from the mdbootstrap site then paste it to your root project and link it in package.json as normal dependency (like here: "mdb-react-ui-kit": "./mdb-react-ui-kit-4.0.0.tgz"). Of course run npm install after.

(1) When installing with npm with an access token, I get two similar errors on npm run start that reflect my two import statements where I import from 'mdb-react-ui-kit'

`ERROR in resolving fallback for shared module mdb-react-ui-kit

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'git+https://oauth2:{my-token}@git.mdbootstrap.com/mdb/react/mdb5/prd/mdb5-react-ui-kit-pro-essential#3.0.0`

(2) That is what I did and I got the error in my original post

Could you create a GitHub repository where you can recreate this problem? Hard to debug without it.


Bridget Melvin premium commented 1 year ago

I was able to fix the error in my prior comment by creating an alias for 'mdb-react-ui-kit' in the resolve property of webpack config, but react still remits an error. See repo

https://github.com/theCosmicGame/mdb-test host: containerNew remote: table

I get an invalid hook call when trying to use the remote's exposed 'MDBButton' custom component (see Header.js in the containerNew mfe and MDBButton.js in the table mfe .. both mfes are using the same version of react


Wojciech Staniszewski staff commented 1 year ago

You do not have any MDB version installed in the mdb catalog. Also, you probably have the wrong key while installing with npm.


Bridget Melvin premium commented 1 year ago

the problem is replicated in the table directory -- because I could not get the mdb directory to work ... the key published on github was subsequently deleted from gitlab for security reasons


Wojciech Staniszewski staff commented 1 year ago

I'm sorry, but we could not install/run your project however we try (for reasons unrelated to MDB).


Bridget Melvin premium commented 1 year ago

I was able to clone the repo and successfully run npm install on both containerNew and table


Bridget Melvin premium commented 1 year ago

I eventually got this to work with a lot of reworking especially on the HOC.. thanks for the help
