OpenCraft is working on vision documents for major components of project.
Almost ready for edX review; will send along soon.
Adolfo’s questions for edX:
Are there any Studio MFEs currently? Will we need a new header/footer?
No and yes.
There exists https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-course-authoring , a future Studio MFE for blended dev, but it’s empty now.
Kyle McCormick says that edX Master’s team is planning on using it soon. He’ll coordinate with them to see if there is overlap on header/footer work.
How to transfer repo to edX org?
Dave Ormsbee can do that.
How will the MFE be deployed?
It’ll need a GoCD pipeline. We can handle that (needs follow-up Kyle McCormick)
What is the MFE state of the art that should be used as a basis?
https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-payment is what he is using now.
Dave recommends https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-learning
Adolfo: Doesn’t seem to use sagas, etc., unlike payment
Nimisha: Usefulness of sagas currently in question here.
Nimisha recommends https://github.com/edx/frontend-template-application
David Joy is the go-to for the “what’s currently the right way to do frontends at edX?” question.
studio-frontend is a thing ; react pages are iframed into Studio. That’s not what we want, right?
That’s old-world; don’t worry about it.
This project will be an honest MFE, linked to by current Studio.
Adolfo: MFEs are a big step forward; props to edX.
Nimisha: Let us know Former user (Deleted) about any MFE developement pain points, missing documentation, etc.
Adolfo: Dropped TypeScript because lack of types in frontend-platform & paragon made it more annoying than useful.
