# gradebook
Please tag **@edx/educator-neem** on any PRs or issues.
## Introduction
The front-end of our editable Gradebook feature.
## Usage
To install gradebook into your project:
```
npm i --save @edx/gradebook
```
## Running the UI Standalone
After cloning the repository, run `make up-detached` in the `gradebook` directory - this will build and start the `gradebook` web application in a docker container.
The web application runs on port **1991**, so when you go to `http://localhost:1991/course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course` you should see the UI (assuming you have such a Demo Course in your devstack). Note that you always have to provide a course id to actually see a gradebook.
If you don't, you can see the log messages for the docker container by executing `make logs` in the `gradebook` directory.
Note that `make up-detached` executes the `npm run start` script which will hot-reload JavaScript and Sass files changes, so you should (:crossed_fingers:) not need to do anything (other than wait) when making changes.
## Configuring for local use in edx-platform
Assuming you've got the UI running at `http://localhost:1991`, you can configure the LMS in edx-platform
to point to your local gradebook from the instructor dashboard by putting this settings in `lms/env/private.py`:
```
WRITABLE_GRADEBOOK_URL = 'http://localhost:1991'
```
There are also several edx-platform waffle and feature flags you'll have to enable from the Django admin:
1. Grades > Persistent grades enabled flag. Add this flag if it doesn't exist,
check the ``enabled`` and ``enabled for all courses`` boxes.
2. Waffle > Switches. Add the ``grades.assume_zero_grade_if_absent`` switch and make it active.
3. Waffle_utils > Waffle flag course overrides. You want to activate this flag for any course
in which you'd like to enable the gradebook. Add a course override flag using a course id and the flag name
``grades.writable_gradebook``. Make sure to check the ``enabled`` box. Alternatively, you could add this as a
regular waffle flag to enable the gradebook for all courses.
