OEXFoundation Integration

OEXFoundation is a core library providing essential dependencies, extensions, utilities, and interfaces for building plugins for the OpenEdX ecosystem. This library allows developers to extend the functionality of OpenEdX by creating plugins that integrate seamlessly into the OpenEdX platform.

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2: Installation

To add OEXFoundation to your project, include the following dependency in your build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.github.openedx:openedx-app-foundation-android:1.0.0'

Step 3: Provide your implementation for OEXFoundation abstraction

class YourPlugin : OneOfOEXFoundationInterfaces()

Step 4: Plugin publishing

You can build and publish your plugin to any repository that suits your needs, such as mavenLocal, mavenCentral, JitPack, or Nexus.

Step 5: Initialize in OpenEdXApp

Next, include your plugin dependency in app module build.gradle file and update the initPlugins function in your OpenEdXApp class to include your plugin class. Here’s how to do it:

private fun initPlugins() {
    pluginManager.addPlugin(YourPlugin())
}

Now, PluginManager will handle the integration of your plugin.
