Description

This creates a new "file_picker" page in the authoring MFE. This page can be used as an embedded file browser for XBlocks to use for selecting assets. When files are selected it posts a message back to the opener with the selected files so they can be used by the block.

Supporting information

This was discussed on the forums and on related issue.

Testing instructions

Currently testing this requires using an XBlock or other code running in the platform that supports this.

TBD

Other information

Some of the XBlocks here have been adapted to work with this.

Best Practices Checklist

We're trying to move away from some deprecated patterns in this codebase. Please
check if your PR meets these recommendations before asking for a review:

  • Any new files are using TypeScript (.ts, .tsx).
  • Avoid propTypes and defaultProps in any new or modified code.
  • Tests should use the helpers in src/testUtils.tsx (specifically initializeMocks)
  • Do not add new fields to the Redux state/store. Use React Context to share state among multiple components.
  • Use React Query to load data from REST APIs. See any apiHooks.ts in this repo for examples.
  • All new i18n messages in messages.ts files have a description for translators to use.
  • Avoid using ../ in import paths. To import from parent folders, use @src, e.g. import { initializeMocks } from '@src/testUtils'; instead of from '../../../../testUtils'
