Purpose

The Learner Record provides information about the enrolled programs for a user. It contains views for a learners current status in a program, their current grade, and the ability to share any earned credentials either publically or with institutions.

This is the Learner Record micro-frontend, currently under development by edX.

Environment Variables/Setup Notes

Currently, this MFE is not intergrated into the devstack, and must be run locally. This MFE requires credentials to be running, and will use a REST API from the Credentials IDA located at credentials/apps/records/rest_api.

Credentials uses 2 enviroment variables to link to this MFE:

• USE_LEARNER_RECORD_MFE -- Toggles the navigation in credentials to redirect to this MFE
• LEARNER_RECORD_MFE_RECORDS_PAGE_URL -- The URL for the base URL of this MFE

More details for these flags can be found in the base configuration of credentials: credentials/settings/base This MFE has 2 flags of its own:

• SUPPORT_URL_LEARNER_RECORDS -- A link to a help/support center for learners who run into problems whilst trying to share their records
• USE_LR_MFE -- A toggle that when on, uses the MFE to host shared records instead of the the old UI inside of credentials
