Let's say you want to replace the entire footer with a simple message. Where before you might have had to fork ``frontend-component-footer``, the following is all that's currently needed: + +.. code-block:: python + + from tutormfe.hooks import PLUGIN_SLOTS + + PLUGIN_SLOTS.add_items([ + # Hide the default footer + ( + "all", + "footer_slot", + """ + { + op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Hide, + widgetId: 'default_contents', + }""" + ), + # Insert a custom footer + ( + "all", + "footer_slot", + """ + { + op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Insert, + widget: { + id: 'custom_footer', + type: DIRECT_PLUGIN, + RenderWidget: () => ( +

This is the footer.

+ ), + }, + }""" + ) + ]) + +Let's take a closer look at what's happening here. To begin with, we're using tutormfe's own ``PLUGIN_SLOTS`` filter. It's a regular Tutor filter, but you won't find it in the main ``tutor`` package: + +.. code-block:: python + + from tutormfe.hooks import PLUGIN_SLOTS + +Next up, we're adding actual slot configuration, starting by hiding the default footer. The first parameter in a filter item specifies which MFE to apply the slot configuration to; for example: ``"learner-dashboard"``, or ``"learning"``. We're using ``"all"`` here, which is a special case: it means the slot configuration should be applied to all MFEs that actually have that slot. (If a particular MFE doesn't have the slot, it will just ignore its configuration.) + +The second parameter, ``"footer_slot"``, is the name of the slot as defined in the code of the MFE itself. + +.. code-block:: python + + PLUGIN_SLOTS.add_items([ + # Hide the default footer + ( + "all", + "footer_slot", + """ + { + op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Hide, + widgetId: 'default_contents', + }""" + ), + +The last parameter to ``add_item()`` is a big string with the actual slot configuration, which will be interpreted as JSX. What we're doing there is hiding the default contents of the footer with a ``PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Hide``. (You can refer to the `frontend-plugin-framework README `_ for a full description of the possible plugin types and operations.) And the ``default_contents`` widget ID we're targetting always refers to what's in an unconfigured slot by default. + +In the second filter item, we once again target the ``"footer_slot"`` on ``"all"`` MFEs. This time, we use ``PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Insert`` to add our custom JSX component, comprised of a simple ``

`` message we're defining in an anonymous function. We give it a widgetID of ``custom_footer``: + +.. code-block:: python + + # Insert a custom footer + ( + "all", + "footer_slot", + """ + { + op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Insert, + widget: { + id: 'custom_footer', + type: DIRECT_PLUGIN, + RenderWidget: () => ( +

This is the footer.

+ ), + }, + }""" + ) + +That's it! If you rebuild the ``mfe`` image after enabling the plugin (via ``tutor images build mfe`` or ``tutor local launch``), "This is the footer." should appear at the bottom of every MFE. + +It's also possible to target a specific MFE's footer. For instance: + +.. code-block:: python + + PLUGIN_SLOTS.add_items([ + # Hide the custom footer + ( + "profile", + "footer_slot", + """ + { + op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Hide, + widgetId: 'custom_footer', + }""" + ), + # Insert a footer just for the Profile MFE + ( + "profile", + "footer_slot", + """ + { + op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Insert, + widget: { + id: 'custom_profile_footer', + type: DIRECT_PLUGIN, + RenderWidget: () => ( +

This is the Profile MFE's footer.

+ ), + }, + }""" + ) + ]) + +Note that here we're assuming you didn't remove the global footer configuration defined by the filter items targeting ``"all"``, so you have to hide ``custom_footer`` instead of ``default_contents``. If you were to rebuild the MFE image now, the Profile MFE's footer would say "This is the Profile MFE's footer", whereas all the others would still contain the global "This is the footer." message. + +For more complex frontend plugins, you should make use of ``mfe-env-config-*`` patches to define your JSX components separately. For instance, you could create an NPM plugin package, install it via ``mfe-dockerfile-post-npm-install``, import the desired components via ``mfe-env-config-buildtime-imports``, then refer to them with the ``PLUGIN_SLOTS`` filter as described above.
