frontend-app-profile

Purpose

This is a micro-frontend application responsible for the display and updating of user profiles.

When a user views their own profile, they're given fields to edit their full name, location, primary spoken language, education, social links, and bio. Each field also has a dropdown to select the visibility of that field - i.e., whether it can be viewed by other learners.

When a user views someone else's profile, they see all those fields that that user set as public.

Getting Started

Installation

Follow these steps to provision, run, and enable an instance of the Profile MFE for local development via the devstack.

To use this application, devstack must be running and you must be logged into it.
- Start devstack
- Log in (http://localhost:18000/login)
To run Profile, install requirements and start the development server by running:

1. Clone your new repo:

  ``git clone https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-profile.git``

2. Use node v18.x.

  The current version of the micro-frontend build scripts support node 18.
  Using other major versions of node *may* work, but this is unsupported.  For
  convenience, this repository includes an .nvmrc file to help in setting the
  correct node version via `nvm <https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm>`_.

3. Install npm dependencies:

  ``cd frontend-app-profile && npm ci``

4. Start the dev server:

  ``npm start``
   The server will run on port 1995

Once the dev server is up, visit http://localhost:1995/u/staff.

Configuration

This MFE is configured via node environment variables supplied at build time. See the .env file for the list of required environment variables. Example build syntax with a single environment variable:

NODE_ENV=production ACCESS_TOKEN_COOKIE_NAME='edx-jwt-cookie-header-payload' npm run build
