Base Project

• Build a custom MFE that connects to the devstack and loads data from a variety of devstack api sources.

  • Initial apis: [courses, course blocks, mfe context, instructor reports, bulk emails schedule]

• Generate JSX display for asynchronously loaded api data

• Allow user to send an api command (unenroll from course)

• Create global state tracking for which api(s) to display, provide UI to manage, and update the UI accordingly.

Demo Goals

Do Something with data from an api source (even if not an edx source).
