Technical Implementation

Package Management

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@skybridge/web-components": "workspace:*",
    "@mantine/modals": "^7.0.0"  // Added where needed
  }
}

Typical Integration Pattern

// Before: 200+ lines of custom form code
// After: Clean configuration
const fields: FormField[] = [
  { name: 'email', type: 'email', required: true },
  { name: 'role', type: 'select', options: [...] }
];

return (
  <FormSidebar
    fields={fields}
    onSubmit={handleSubmit}
    editItem={editItem}
  />
);

Additional Shared Component Integration (Final Phase)

✅ SidebarLayout Standardization - NEW

• Status: Completed across all microfrontends with sidebars
• Problem Solved: Fixed sidebar overlay behavior where main content was covered instead of shrinking
• New Components Added:
  • SidebarLayout: Manages main content area resizing when sidebars open
  • Sidebar (enhanced): Added layoutMode prop for integration with SidebarLayout
• Components Updated:
  • Applications.tsx (KMS): Replaced Stack with manual margins → SidebarLayout + enhanced Sidebar
  • UserManagement.tsx (User): Replaced Stack with manual margins → SidebarLayout
  • App.tsx (FaaS): Replaced Stack with manual margins → Optimized margin calculation for existing fixed sidebars
• Benefits: Main content now properly shrinks to accommodate sidebars, providing better UX and preventing content from being hidden

Additional Shared Component Integration (Previous Phase)

✅ StatusBadge Integration

• Status: Completed across FaaS and KMS modules
• Components Updated:
  • ExecutionModal.tsx & ExecutionSidebar.tsx (FaaS): Replaced duplicate getStatusColor function with ExecutionStatusBadge
  • Audit.tsx (KMS): Replaced custom status logic with standardized StatusBadge component
• Benefits: Eliminated duplicate status color mapping logic, consistent status display across platform
• Code Reduction: ~30 lines of duplicate status logic removed per component

✅ Pattern Consolidation Analysis

• Duplicate Status Logic: Found and replaced in 4+ components across microfrontends
• Shared Loading States: Available but not universally adopted (complex implementation differences)
• Empty State Patterns: Standardized components available for future adoption
• Form Sidebar Usage: Already well-adopted in User and Application management

Updated Architecture Benefits

🎯 Enhanced Code Standardization

• Consistent Status Indicators: All status badges now use standardized color mapping
