Reference: What MFEs are there?
The full list of Open edX MFEs, including ones that are experimental or under development, can be found by searching “frontend-app-” in the openedx GitHub org: https://github.com/orgs/openedx/repositories?q=frontend-app-
The list of Open edX MFEs that run out-of-the-box in Tutor can be found by looking at the CORE_MFE_APPS
variable in the tutor-mfe plugin’s plugin.py file:
[upcoming release / tutor nightly] https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/blob/nightly/tutormfe/plugin.py#L33
[latest release / tutor master] https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/blob/master/tutormfe/plugin.py#L33
Reference: MFE Base URLs
MFEs follow a simple naming pattern. Given some lowercase hyphen based name{APPNAME}
(for example, learning
)….
The repo is
https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-{APPNAME}
Example:
https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learning
The base URL in Tutor is
https://apps.{LMS}/{APPNAME}
Example:
https://apps.myopenedx.site/learning
The base URL on edX is
https://{APPNAME}.edx.org
Example:
https://learning.edx.org
EXCEPTION: For
learner-dashboard
, the URL is nothttps://learner-dashboard.edx.org
. Instead, it’shttps://home.edx.org
.
