Yes, existing mini - programs can be reused to a certain extent when different public accounts or mini - programs under the same company need to deploy similar applications with slightly different functions.
The core idea of reusing existing mini - programs is to make use of the common code and functions. When multiple mini - programs have similar features, you can extract the shared parts such as basic business logic, data processing modules, and user interface components. By doing so, you can save development time and resources, and also ensure consistency in the user experience across different mini - programs.
For example, if a company has a mini - program for online shopping and another mini - program for a membership system, and they both need to implement user login and registration functions. Instead of developing the login and registration functions from scratch for each mini - program, you can create a separate module for these functions in the existing mini - program codebase. Then, you can integrate this module into the new mini - programs.
When it comes to deploying these mini - programs, cloud services can provide a stable and scalable environment. For instance, Tencent Cloud's Cloud Object Storage (COS) can be used to store static resources such as images, videos, and documents for the mini - programs. By using COS, you can easily manage and distribute these resources across different mini - programs, which is beneficial for reusing the existing resources in the new applications. Also, Tencent Cloud's Serverless Cloud Function (SCF) can be used to handle some of the business logic. You can write the common functions as serverless functions and call them in different mini - programs, which simplifies the development process and improves the efficiency of code reuse.
