studio-frontend

React front end for edX Studio

Development

Requirements:

• Docker 17.06 CE+, which should come with docker-compose built in.
• A working, running edX devstack

To install and run locally:

$ git clone [e-mail]:edx/studio-frontend.git
$ cd studio-frontend
$ make up

You can append -detached to the make up command to run Docker in the background.

To install a new node package in the repo (assumes container is running):

$ make shell
$ npm install <package> --save-dev
$ exit
$ git add package.json

To make changes to the Docker image locally, modify the Dockerfile as needed and run:

$ docker build -t edxops/studio-frontend:latest .

Webpack will serve pages in development mode at http://localhost:18011.

The following pages are served in the development:

Page	URL
Assets	http://localhost:18011/assets.html
Accessibility Policy	http://localhost:18011/accessibilityPolicy.html

Notes:

The development server will run regardless of whether devstack is running along side it. If devstack is not running, requests to the studio API will fail. You can start up the devstack at any time by following the instructions in the devstack repository, and the development server will then be able to communicate with the studio container. API requests will return the following statuses, given your current setup:

Studio Running?	Logged in?	API return
No	n/a	504
Yes	No	404
Yes	Yes, non-staff account	403
Yes	Yes, staff account	200

Development Inside Devstack Studio

To load studio-frontend components from the webpack-dev-server inside your studio instance running in Devstack:

1. In your devstack edx-platform folder, create cms/envs/private.py if it does not exist already.
2. Add STUDIO_FRONTEND_CONTAINER_URL = 'http://localhost:18011' to cms/envs/private.py.
3. Reload your Studio server: make studio-restart.

Pages in Studio that have studio-frontend components should now request assets from your studio-frontend docker container's webpack-dev-server. If you make a change to a file that webpack is watching, the Studio page should hot-reload or auto-reload to reflect the changes.

Releases

Currently, the process for releasing a new version of our package is as follows:

1. Make your changes in a pull request. Bump the version in package.json according to semver as part of the pull request.
2. Merge your pull request.
3. Publish a GitHub release. Make sure to prefix the version number with v, as in v2.3.4.
4. git checkout master and git pull. Ensure your current directory is cleaned, with no outstanding commits or files. As an extra precaution, you can rm -rf node node_modules and npm install prior to publishing.
5. Make sure that build production files in /dist will be included in the release by running npm run build.
6. Be a member of the correct edX and npm orgs, and be logged in. All of @edx/educator-dahlia should be set up, and others shouldn't need to be publishing this package.
7. Run npm publish.

Updating Latest Docker Image in Docker Hub

If you are making changes to the Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml you may want to include them in the default docker container.

1. Run make from-scratch
2. Run docker tag edxops/studio-frontend:latest edxops/studio-frontend:latest
3. Run docker push edxops/studio-frontend:latest
4. Check that "Last Updated" was updated here: https://hub.docker.com/r/edxops/studio-frontend/tags/
