Prerequisites
=============

The `devstack`_ is currently recommended as a development environment for your
new MFE. If you start it with ``make dev.up.lms`` that should give you
everything you need as a companion to this frontend.

Note that it is also possible to use `Tutor`_ to develop an MFE. You can refer
to the `relevant tutor-mfe documentation`_ to get started using it.

Installation

============

This MFE is bundled with `Devstack <https://github.com/openedx/devstack>`_, see the `Getting Started <https://github.com/openedx/devstack#getting-started>`_ section for setup instructions.

Environment Variables/Setup Notes
---------------------------------
=================================

This MFE is configured via environment variables supplied at build time. All micro-frontends have a shared set of required environment variables, as documented in the Open edX Developer Guide under `Required Environment Variables <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-developer-docs/en/latest/developers_guide/micro_frontends_in_open_edx.html#required-environment-variables>`__.

edX-specific Environment Variables
**********************************
==================================

Furthermore, there are several edX-specific environment variables that enable integrations with closed-source services private to the edX organization, and are unsupported in Open edX. Enabling these environment variables will result in undefined behavior in Open edX installations:

Cloning and Startup
===================

.. code-block::
1. Clone your new repo:
``git clone https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-account.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-account && npm ci``
4. Start the dev server:
``npm start``

Development Roadmap
-------------------
===================

We don't have anything planned for the core of the MFE (the account settings page) - this MFE is currently in maintenance mode.
There may be a replacement for IDV coming down the pipe, so that may be DEPRed.
In the future, it's possible that demographics could be modeled as a plugin rather than being hard-coded into this MFE.
