********
Purpose
********

A generic footer for Open edX micro-frontend applications. It includes a logo and an optional language selector dropdown.

***************
Getting Started
***************

Prerequisites
=============

The `devstack`_ is currently recommended as a development environment for your
new MFE. If you start it with ``make dev.up.lms`` that should give you
everything you need as a companion to this frontend.

Note that it is also possible to use `Tutor`_ to develop an MFE. You can refer
to the `relevant tutor-mfe documentation`_ to get started using it.

.. _Devstack: https://github.com/openedx/devstack

.. _Tutor: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor

.. _relevant tutor-mfe documentation: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe#mfe-development

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. `_

Environment Variables
=====================

This component requires that the following environment variable be set by the consuming micro-frontend.

* ``LMS_BASE_URL`` - The URL of the LMS of your Open edX instance.
* ``LOGO_TRADEMARK_URL`` - This is a URL to a logo for use in the footer. This is a different environment variable than ``LOGO_URL`` (used in frontend-component-header) to accommodate sites that would like to have additional trademark information on a logo in the footer, such as a (tm) or (r) symbol.

Installation
============

To install this footer into your Open edX micro-frontend, run the following command in your MFE:

``npm i --save @edx/frontend-component-footer``

This will make the component available to be imported into your application.

Cloning and Startup
===================

.. code-block::

1. Clone your new repo:

``git clone https://github.com/openedx/frontend-component-footer.git``

2. Use node v18.x.

The current version of the micro-frontend build scripts support node 18.
Using other major versions of node *may* work, but this is unsupported. For
convenience, this repository includes an .nvmrc file to help in setting the
correct node version via `nvm `_.

3. Install npm dependencies:

``cd frontend-component-footer && npm ci``

4. Start the dev server:

``npm start``

Usage
=====

This library has the following exports:

* ``(default)``: The footer as a React component.
* ``messages``: Internationalization messages suitable for use with `@edx/frontend-platform/i18n `_
* ``dist/footer.scss``: A SASS file which contains style information for the component. It should be imported into the micro-frontend's own SCSS file.

component props
==========================

* onLanguageSelected: Provides the footer with an event handler for when the user selects a
language from its dropdown.
* supportedLanguages: An array of objects representing available languages. See example below for object shape.

Plugin
======
The footer can be replaced using using `Frontend Plugin Framework `_.

Information on how to utilize the ``FooterSlot`` component to do so is available in the `frontend-slot-footer repository `_.

Examples
========

Component Usage Example::

import Footer, { messages } from '@edx/frontend-component-footer';

...

{/* set language */}}
supportedLanguages={[
{ label: 'English', value: 'en'},
{ label: 'Español', value: 'es' },
]}
/>

* `An example of minimal component and messages usage. `_
* `An example of SCSS file usage. `_
