Core Integration Strategies

🔧

Dependency Management

Use dependency injection to make module coupling explicit and testable.

Centralized dependency registration
Environment-specific overrides
Lazy-loaded optional dependencies

🧾

API Interfaces

Define clear contracts between modules using strongly-typed interfaces.

Versioned endpoints for compatibility
Schema validation middleware
Rate limiting and authentication

Implementation Examples

Dependency Injection (TypeScript)

class FileService {
  constructor(private readonly apiClient: APIClient) {}

  upload(file: File): Promise<void> {
    this.apiClient.post('/upload', file);
  }
}

// Usage with dependency injection
const apiClient = new APIClient({ baseUrl: 'https://api.modules.io'});
const fileService = new FileService(apiClient);

Module Communication

// Event channel
const ModuleChannel = {
  on: (event: string, callback: Function) => {...},
  emit: (event: string, data: any) => {...}
};

// Module A
ModuleChannel.on('file-ready', (filename) => {
  console.log('Received file:', filename);
});

// Module B
ModuleChannel.emit('file-ready', 'report.pdf');

Best Practices

🧩

Versioned APIs

Always version your public APIs to ensure backward compatibility.

/api/v2/upload

🔐

Secure Communication

Implement token-based authentication and input validation between modules.

Authorization: Bearer {token}

Content-Type: application/json
