Dictionary (New Word): Module Federation (#199)

# Word

#### Module Federation

# Meaning/Definition

Module Federation is a feature in **Webpack 5** that allows
independently built and deployed JavaScript applications or modules to
share code and dependencies at runtime.

It enables multiple projects to work together as a single application
without needing to bundle everything upfront. This approach is commonly
used in **micro-frontend architectures**, where different teams build
and deploy separate parts of an application while still being able to
load each other’s components dynamically.

**Example**

* A dashboard app dynamically loads a charting component from another
app’s build instead of bundling its own copy, reducing duplication and
improving maintainability.
