The Webpack configuration file for built-in XBlock JS used to be generated at build time and git-ignored. It lived at common/static/xmodule/webpack.xmodule.config.js. It was generated because the JS that it referred to was also generated at build-time, and the filenames of those JS modules were not static. Now that its contents have been made entirely static [1], there is no reason we need to continue generating this Webpack configuration file. So, we check it into edx-platform under the name ./webpack.builtinblocks.config.js. We choose to put it in the repo's root directory because the paths contained in the config file are relative to the repo's root. This allows us to behead both the xmodule/static_content.py (`xmodule_assets`) script andthe `process_xmodule_assets` paver task, a major step in removing the need for Python in the edx-platform asset build [2]. It also allows us to delete the `HTMLSnippet` class and all associated attributes, which were exclusively used by xmodule/static_content.py.. We leave `xmodule_assets` and `process_xmodule_assets` in as stubs for now in order to avoid breaking external code (like Tutor) which calls Paver; the entire pavelib/assets.py function will be eventually removed soon anyway [3]. Further, to avoid extraneous refactoring, we keep one method of `HTMLSnippet` around on a few of its former subclasses: `get_html`. This method was originally part of the XModule framework; now, it is left over on a few classes as a simple internal helper method.

Purpose
*******
The `Open edX Platform <https://openedx.org>`_ is a service-oriented platform for authoring and
delivering online learning at any scale. The platform is written in
Python and JavaScript and makes extensive use of the Django
framework. At the highest level, the platform is composed of a
monolith, some independently deployable applications (IDAs), and
micro-frontends (MFEs) based on the ReactJS.
This repository hosts the monolith at the center of the Open edX
platform. Functionally, the edx-platform repository provides two services:
* CMS (Content Management Service), which powers Open edX Studio, the platform's learning content authoring environment; and
* LMS (Learning Management Service), which delivers learning content.
Installation
************
Installing and running an Open edX instance is not simple. We strongly
recommend that you use a service provider to run the software for you. They
have free trials that make it easy to get started:
https://openedx.org/get-started/
If you will be modifying edx-platform code, the `Open edX Developer Stack`_ (Devstack) is
a Docker-based development environment.
If you want to run your own Open edX server and have the technical skills to do
so, `Open edX Installation Options`_ explains your options.
