FED-BOM updates

Muhammad Abdullah Waheed Khan

• Node 18 upgrade

  • Only a couple of PRs left

  • Requires backport PRs for Palm

• React router upgrade

  • Upgrading to v6 - change in frontend-platform

  • It’s a breaking change, so it will require changes to MFEs

• React 17 upgrade plan

  • To be executed after the above

  • No breaking changes (according to the docs)

• edx-platform in all this?

  • Node 18: baby steps:

    • The first one is upgrading webpack from 2 to the latest

    • Next one is karma (or replace it with jest!)

    • And then… everything else

    • None of this is happening for Palm

Palm updates

Adolfo Brandes

• MFEs on track to be included

  • ORA Grading: missing runtime config support; PR issued, should be merged this week

  • Communications: Tutor plugin being written this week; will undergo the usual requirements check as well, and fixed if necessary

• Experimental MFEs

  • Learner Dashboard: needs Node 18 (which FED-BOM says they can do), fixes for Tutor support, as well as an experimental Tutor plugin, the latter of which Ghassan Maslamani has offered to take on

  • Learner Record and Credentials: Regis says edly will soon inherit and support Lawrence’s https://github.com/lpm0073/tutor-contrib-credentials , so this means we can consider adding the MFE to Palm

MFE domains

Adolfo Brandes

Showing off some of the PoC code (see recording) and Q&A

• Subdomains vs subpaths between MFEs? react-router is now responsible, so it’s all subpaths

• What’s the build package size as compared to now? Each MFE is its own lazy-loaded, smaller package (because we don’t include React etc), so it should all be much faster
