A tool used by course teams to communicate with their learners. The interface for anything related to instructor to learner communications. Instructor bulk email, for example.
For now, this repo is not intergrated with devstack. You'll be running the app locally and not through docker. This does make setup a little easier.
- Clone your new repo:
git clone https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-communications.git
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.
Install npm dependencies:
cd frontend-app-communications && npm install
Update the application port to use for local development:
Default port is 1984. If this does not work for you, update the line PORT=1984 to your port in all .env.* files
Start the devserver. The app will be running at
localhost:1984, or whatever port you change it too.npm start
If you wish to add new environment varibles for local testing, they should be listed in 2 places:
- In
.env.development - Added to the
mergeConfigfound insrc/index.jsx
initialize({
config: () => {
mergeConfig({
EXAMPLE_VALUE: true,
}, 'CommuncationsAppConfig');
Tests use jest and react-test-library. To run all the tests for this repo:
npm test
Production Build
