[DEPR]: ZendeskFab Component

Proposal Date

Target Ticket Acceptance Date

2024-11-27

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Teak - 2025-04

Rationale

The ZendeskFab component was created as part of a 2U/edX initiative and I don't believe it has been used by the community. The creators of the component have successfully replaced it using the frontend-plugin-framework. If the code is indeed unused, it only serves as a liability to the community and should be removed.

Removal

This is a proposal to remove the entire ZendeskFab directory and its sub-components, located at src/components/ZendeskFab.

This component is almost entirely decoupled from the rest of the Learner Dashboard application. Removing it shouldn't have any effect on the rest of the app configuration or view layout, as the ZendeskFab component is not rendered by default (since having been removed from the root App).

Note: the dependency react-zendesk will be uninstalled

Replacement

There is no intended replacement as this is presumably unused code.

Deprecation

No response

Migration
