License status-badge Continuous Integration Codecov

Purpose

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.

Getting started

For now, this repo is not integrated with devstack. You'll be running the app locally and not through docker. This does make setup a little easier.

Cloning and Startup

  1. Clone your new repo:
git clone https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-communications.git
  1. Use node v18.x.

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

  2. Install npm dependencies:

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

    The default port is 1984. If this does not work for you, update the line PORT=1984 to your port in all .env.* files

  2. Start the devserver. The app will be running at localhost:1984, or whatever port you change it too.

    npm start

Environment Variables/Setup Notes

If you wish to add new environment variables for local testing, they should be listed in 2 places:

  1. In .env.development
  2. Added to the mergeConfig found in src/index.jsx
initialize({
   config: () => {
    mergeConfig({
    EXAMPLE_VALUE: true,
    }, 'CommuncationsAppConfig');
