frontend-app-admin-portal

Purpose

frontend-app-admin-portal is a frontend that provides branded learning experiences as well as a dashboard for enterprise learning administrators.

Getting Started

Setting up a dev environment

The Short Story

1. Set up docker devstack locally, and start the service containers (see https://github.com/openedx/devstack)

2. Set up and run the edx-analytics-data-api (https://github.com/openedx/edx-analytics-data-api) locally

3. Clone this repo and install npm requirements:

$ git clone [email protected]:edx/frontend-app-admin-portal.git
$ cd frontend-app-admin-portal
$ nvm use (if using nvm) OR install and switch to version of node/npm as per the .nvmrc file to avoid issues during npm install or npm start (and to use the same version of node/npm as used by team plus CI builds)
$ npm install
$ npm start # or "npm run start:with-theme" if you want edX branding

The application is now running and can be accessed in a web browser at http://localhost:1991/

Themes

By default, the core Paragon theme is installed and used with the npm start command. If you'd like to use the @edx/brand-edx.org theme, use the npm run start:with-theme command.

Sign-in and access

Sign in using the enterprise_openedx_operator created by running ./manage.py lms seed_enterprise_devstack_data in the lms shell. After sign-in, you may have to navigate back to localhost:1991.

In the lms django admin, click on "Enterprise Customers" then "Test Enterprise" (or the enterprise you're working with). Check the appropriate boxes to gain access to the appropriate admin screens.

The Longer Story

For the frontend-app-admin-portal to function properly locally, the following parts need to be set up:

1. At least 1 enterprise customer should exist in edx-platform. This customer can be created using created by running ./manage.py lms seed_enterprise_devstack_data in the lms shell.
2. edx-analytics-data-api needs data that would normally be piped from edx-platform via data pipelines

Enterprise Customer

The frontend-app-admin-portal displays information about enterprise customers in edx-platform, so you will need to create a customer in edx-platform. You can create a customer by doing the following:

1. Navigate to http://localhost:18000/admin/enterprise/enterprisecustomer/
2. Click "Add Enterprise Customer"
3. Complete this form, at very least filling in the Name, Slug, and Site
4. Click "Save"

Once created, make a note of the UUID field in the admin for the enterprise customer you created. This is needed to map the data in edx-platform to the data in edx-analytics-data-api.

Analytics-data-api Data Prep

Follow the instructions for how to get data into the edx-analytics-data-api in the repo README here: https://github.com/openedx/edx-analytics-data-api, using the UUID for the enterprise customer you just created.

Bringing it all together

At this point, if the LMS and data-analytics-api are running, you should then be able to:

1. Run the frontend-app-admin-portal locally

$ npm install
$ npm start

2. Login with credentials that you could log into your local edx-platform with

3. See data displayed in the admin portal

Using local frontend libraries

In order to use a local version of a frondend library, such as Paragon, you must create a module.config.js file in the root directory of your repo. It should contain aliases that webpack will use to resolve modules locally rather than using the module in node_modules.

Sample module.config.js file:

module.exports = {
/*
  Modules you want to use from local source code.  Adding a module here means that when this app
  runs its build, it'll resolve the source from peer directories of this app.
  moduleName: the name you use to import code from the module.
  dir: The relative path to the module's source code.
  dist: The sub-directory of the source code where it puts its build artifact.  Often "dist".
*/
  localModules: [
    { moduleName: '@edx/brand', dir: '../brand-edx.org' },
    { moduleName: '@openedx/paragon/scss/core', dir: '../paragon', dist: 'scss/core' },
    { moduleName: '@openedx/paragon', dir: '../paragon', dist: 'dist' },
  ],
};

NB: In order for webpack to properly resolve scss imports locally, you must use a ~ before the import, like so: @import "~@edx/brand/paragon/fonts";

Running tests

You can run all tests as follows:

nvm use
npm install
npm run test

Additionally, you can run a single test file with

npm run test -- ProvisioningFormSubmissionButton.test.jsx

or run a given test function by appending a .only to the test function (or appending .skip to do the inverse). For example: test.only('your test function', () => {...}).

You can use watch mode with tests as follows:

npm run test:watch BudgetDetailPage.test.jsx
# or to skip coverage reporting
npm run test:watch-no-cov BudgetDetailpage.test.jsx

Note the watcher has its own set of commands to help run test functions that match a regex (t my regex), etc. Use the w command to get a list of valid watch commands.

Getting Help
