Rationale

Removal
This repo will be deprecated, and the https://www.npmjs.com/package/edx-ui-toolkit npm package will be archived.
Replacement
This package will be moved into the video block, the only place that it is used.
This is blocked by the block extraction work; see openedx/xblocks-core#37

FYI: The VideoBlock is being extracted from edx-platform into xblocks-contrib. Rather than moving edx-ui-toolkit into edx-platform, I propose that we wait until the block is fully moved to xblocks-contrib, and then merge edx-ui-toolkit into a subfolder of xblocks-contrib.

Agree, thanks for the context @kdmccormick . Is there a timeline on that work, so we can note this is blocked until the block is migrated?
kdmccormick commentedon Jun 3, 2025
I would expect the old VideoBlock (the one in edx-platform) to be removed between Ulmo and Verawood, which would block this ticket until Verawood.
sarina commentedon Jun 3, 2025
Thanks, I updated the Earliest Release date to Verawood, and indicated this is blocked for now.

I have added the ticket to @openedx/axim-aximprovements board

If I recall, I think the video block uses a very small subset of the edx-ui-toolkit, we should make sure to only keep what we need and not shift a bunch of code that we don't want around.

I have same understanding, thanks for recalling

This will get done as a part of dropping legacy frontend but we're keeping the tickets so we don't forget about this.
