Getting started

For now, this repo is not intergrated with devstack. You'll be running the app locally and not through docker. This does make setup a little easier.

1. Clone the repo into your usual workspace

   mkdir -p ~/workspace/
   cd ~/workspace/
   git clone https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-communications.git
   

2. Install frontend dependencies

   npm i
   

3. Start the devserver. The app will be running at localhost:1984, or whatever port you change it too.

   npm start

2. Added to the mergeConfig found in src/index.jsx

   config: () => {
    mergeConfig({
    EXAMPLE_VALUE: true,
    }, 'CommuncationsAppConfig');
