Figures is a reporting and data retrieval app. It plugs into the edx-platform LMS app server. Its goal is to provide site-wide and cross-course analytics that compliment Open edX's traditional course-centric analytics.

To evolve Figures to meet community needs, we are keeping in mind as principles the following features, which Jill Vogel outlined in her lightweight analytics post on ed Xchange:

• Real time (or near real time) updates
• Lightweight deployment
• Flexible reporting
• Simpler contributions

Please refer to the Figures design document for more details on goals and architecture.

For all Open edX releases:

• Python (2.7)

For Hawthorn:

• Django (1.11)

For Ginkgo:

• Django (1.8)

NOTICE: Installation instructions are out of date and backlogged for update

Go here for instructions to install and run Figures in devstack.

Go here for instructions to install Figures in production.

The Figures user interface is a JavaScript Single Page Application (SPA) built with React and uses the create-react-app build scaffolding generator.

The Figures back-end is a reusable Django app. It contains a set of REST API endpoints that serve a dual purpose of providing data to the front-end and to remote clients.

TODO: Improve the testing instructions

The unit tests should be able to run on any OS that supports Python 2.7.x

Clone the repo:

git@github.com:appsembler/figures.git

Go to the project directory:

cd figures

Create a virtualenv for Python 2.7.x.

Install required Python packages:

pip install -r devsite/requirements.txt

From the figures repository root directory:

py.test

If all goes well, the Figures unit tests will all complete succesfully

• Open edX "Hawthorn" will provide a plug-in architecture. This will hopefully simplify Figures installation even more
• Downloadable report files
• Plugin architecture to extend Figures for custom data sources

TODO: Add details here or separate CONTRIBUTING file to the root of the repo

If you find bugs or run into issues, please submit an issue ticket to the Figures issue tracker on Github.
