I’ve had recently been working on a lot of frontend code for Open edX MFE, including creating multiple MFEs from scratch.
I was wondering how best to share the knowledge, and figured it best to ask here. I’ve given a talk on react/redux before here (starting at ~40mins), but that was before MFEs existed in their current form, with the current structure and template.
Would there be any interest in having a tech talk/demo for this? If so, what would be the preferred form?
Live talk, shared later as a recording
Pre-recorded video
Written documentation
Other (specify)
0voters
For those interested, what all would you like to see covered?
Creating a new MFE
Configuring an MFE for use with edx-platform
Setting up an MFE in Ocim
The structure of MFEs
etc
I’m hoping this will be a one-time investment that will pay off in terms of learning time saved.
I would be interesting in learning about how to replace an existing page in edx-platform with a custom MFE. For example I’d like to replace the dashboard, or the course about page with MFEs.
I’d love to learn more about the Open edX MFE structure and how to set one up.
I’d cut Setting up an MFE in Ocim from the talk scope since that can be easily covered with a few docs (and is probably more useful that way).
I’ve been having a hard time finding time to prepare for this, but I think I’m somewhat ready now. Anything left out can be reserved for later talks.
Now it comes to scheduling. These used to come with mid-sprint meeting. Should we follow that and keep it with the next social chat? Perhaps 1h after the social chat i.e. reserve 1hr for the social chat and start the tech talk then?
@kshitij Yup - though you can probably pick any time you’d like. As long as it’s recorded for everyone to see async, then what counts is that the time works for you, first
I’m very sorry for needing to postpone this. I’ve got my computer up and running now, but I feel like some kind of explanation is deserved.
Today, I had a longer-than-usual power outage and needed to shut down my desktop, which is something I rarely ever do. The power came back well in time before the meeting, but when I tried to turn on my computer, it just wouldn’t, unfortunately I wasn’t able it get it started on time. I think in my recent attempt to diagnose over-heating, I accidentally loosened the power button and, now it doesn’t work.
In any case, if the same time next Tuesday is suitable to everyone. I will set up a new meeting for then. I could do the same time tomorrow, but I think I’ll need some time to properly fix this issue, and set up my laptop as backup.
Imho, I think it could’ve been a bit shorter, but otherwise it was very useful. Even though I did some work on the discussions MFE before, I still learned a few new things from the talk.
