License status-badge Continuous Integration Codecov

Purpose

This repository is a template for Open edX micro-frontend applications. It is flagged as a Template Repository, meaning it can be used as a basis for new GitHub repositories by clicking the green "Use this template" button above. The rest of this document describes how to work with your new micro-frontend after you've created a new repository from the template.

Getting Started

After copying the template repository, you'll want to do a find-and-replace to replace all instances of frontend-template-application with the name of your new repository. Also edit index.html to replace "Application Template" with a friendly name for this application that users will see in their browser tab.

Prerequisites

The devstack is currently recommended as a development environment for your new MFE. If you start it with make dev.up.lms that should give you everything you need as a companion to this frontend.

Note that it is also possible to use Tutor to develop an MFE. You can refer to the relevant tutor-mfe documentation to get started using it.

Cloning and Startup

In the following steps, replace "[PLACEHOLDER]" with the name of the repo you created when copying this template above.

  1. Clone your new repo:
git clone https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-[PLACEHOLDER].git
  1. Use node v18.x.

    The current version of the micro-frontend build scripts support node 18. Using other major versions of node may work, but this is unsupported. For convenience, this repository includes an .nvmrc file to help in setting the correct node version via nvm.

  2. Install npm dependencies:

cd frontend-app-[PLACEHOLDER] && npm install
  1. Update the application port to use for local development:

    Default port is 8080. If this does not work for you, update the line PORT=8080 to your port in all .env.* files

  2. Start the dev server:

npm start

The dev server is running at http://localhost:8080 or whatever port you setup.

Making Your New Project's README File

Move README-template-frontend-app.rst to your project's README.rst file. Please fill out all the sections - this helps out all developers understand your MFE, how to install it, and how to use it.

Developing

This section concerns development of frontend-template-application itself, not the templated copy.

It should be noted that one of the goals of this repository is for it to function correctly as an MFE (as in npm install && npm start) even if no modifications are made. This ensures that developers get a practical working example, not just a theoretical one.

This also means, of course, that any committed code should be tested and subject to both CI and branch protection rules.

Project Structure

The source for this project is organized into nested submodules according to the Feature-based Application Organization ADR.

Build Process Notes

Production Build

The production build is created with npm run build.

Internationalization

Please see refer to the frontend-platform i18n howto for documentation on internationalization.

Getting Help
