"inject() must be called from an injection context" when importing angular app using module federation architecture

Question

I am trying to implement the micro-frontend concept in angular using webpack5 module federation by following this example Module federation with angular, but i am facing this error

I tried the solutions provided in this answer inject() must be called from an injection context but it didn't work.

Currently i am using angular version 11 in both the applications.

@Idalla I added solution below which solved mine issue, you can check and verify if works. – Millett

Answer 1

In my case, I was using requiredVersion: 'auto' and sharedMappings.getDescriptors() from @angular-architects/module-federation package. so instead I specified exact version.

"@angular/core": { singleton: false, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: '12.2.15' },
"@angular/common": { singleton: false, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: '12.2.15' },
"@angular/router": { singleton: false, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: '12.2.15' },

Answer 2

Faced same issues, the error was solved after figuring out @angular/core and @angular/common (and possibly @ngx-translate/core) must be shared and loaded once with "singleton: true" flag in both your webpack configurations.

Answer 3

This possible occur when any of your child dependency not met with angular core or angular common. Try checking consoles/terminal for more information. In my case, for eg: highchart I have installed in child component and getting peer dependency on angular core 10.0.0 with parent. Error was gone once I had updated the version.
