Overview
********
A generic header for Open edX micro-frontend applications.
************
Requirements
************
This component uses ``@edx/frontend-platform`` services such as i18n, analytics, configuration, and the ``AppContext`` React component, and expects that it has been loaded into a micro-frontend that has been properly initialized via ``@edx/frontend-platform``'s ``initialize`` function. `Please visit the frontend template application to see an example. <https://github.com/openedx/frontend-template-application/blob/master/src/index.jsx>`_
Environment Variables
=====================
* ``LMS_BASE_URL`` - The URL of the LMS of your Open edX instance.
* ``LOGOUT_URL`` - The URL of the API endpoint which performs a user logout.
* ``LOGIN_URL`` - The URL of the login page where a user can sign into their account.
* ``SITE_NAME`` - The user-facing name of the site, used as `alt` text on the logo in the header.
Defaults to "localhost" in development.
* ``LOGO_URL`` - The URL of the site's logo. This logo is displayed in the header.
* ``ORDER_HISTORY_URL`` - The URL of the order history page.
* ``ACCOUNT_PROFILE_URL`` - The URL of the account profile page.
* ``ACCOUNT_SETTINGS_URL`` - The URL of the account settings page.
* ``AUTHN_MINIMAL_HEADER`` - A boolean flag which hides the main menu, user menu, and logged-out
menu items when truthy. This is intended to be used in micro-frontends like
frontend-app-authentication in which these menus are considered distractions from the user's task.
************
Installation
************
To install this header into your Open edX micro-frontend, run the following command in your MFE:
``npm i --save @edx/frontend-component-header``
This will make the component available to be imported into your application.
*****
Usage
*****
This library has the following exports:
* ``(default)``: The header as a React component.
* ``messages``: Internationalization messages suitable for use with `@edx/frontend-platform/i18n <https://edx.github.io/frontend-platform/module-Internationalization.html>`_
* ``dist/index.scss``: A SASS file which contains style information for the component. It should be imported into the micro-frontend's own SCSS file.
