Question

I have added "@angular-architects/module-federation": "^17.0.1", after that i am getting this error as version compatible. working on micro-services. how to fix this?

package.json:

{
  "name": "qonchdemo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "start:host-app": "ng serve host-app  -o --port 5000",
    "build": "ng build",
    "watch": "ng build --watch --configuration development",
    "test": "ng test",
    "run:all": "node node_modules/@angular-architects/module-federation/src/server/mf-dev-server.js"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular-architects/module-federation": "^17.0.1",
    "@angular/animations": "^16.1.0",
    "@angular/common": "^16.1.0",

  }
}

I tried to downgrade angular-federation but it didn't work out, my local cli version is 16.2.12 node is 16. I have other projects in my system if i'll upgrade to node 18 it will be a problem.

Well, angular cli v17 depends on node 18.13.0 https://angular.io/guide/versions so your module-fedepartion dependency needs to use maximum v16, because module-federation v17 uses angular v17 which has the node minimum of 18.13.0.

So i'm guessing if you just install v16 instead of 17 you'd be fine.
