The v1 REST API at freecodecamp.org/curriculum-data/v1/ now returns 404 HTML, crashing every page that loads curriculum data. Replace with the GraphQL API at curriculum-db.freecodecamp.org. - Add util/curriculum/fetchCurriculum.js (GraphQL client with cache) - Rewire getAllSuperblockTitlesAndDashedNames to use GraphQL - Rewire getSuperblockTitlesInClassroomByIndex to use GraphQL - Update classes page and all 3 dashboard pages

Hi @raisedadead —
This PR returns several things that should not be in the list that a teacher can select for a classroom:
- Legacy Certifications are included (responsive-web-design)
- Courses that are parts of other curriculum certifications (basic-html)
- Upcoming Courses (a2-professional-spanish)
To solve this we can either:
- In classroom app, hardcode a list of certifications that should be excluded.
- In the GraphQL API add flags for isLegacy, etc. fields to use for the filtering
Which solution do you prefer? Do you think it is doable to add these flags into the GraphQL API or should we have them hardcoded?

@CarlyAThomas - Thanks for catching those cases of certifications that should not be shown in Classroom App. For now, let's go with your first recommended solution to simply hardcode the excluded certifications. |
…ridge - Replace fetchCurriculum.js (broken order field) with fetchSuperblocksFromGraphQL.js - Remove order from GraphQL query; use blockIndex for ordering instead - Add constants.js with LEGACY/INTERVIEW_PREP hardcoded filter sets (temporary until GraphQL adds isLegacy/isJobPrep fields to schema) - Add CERT_REQUIREMENTS for v9 cert dependency expansion - Change fccCertifications Prisma field from Int[] to String[] (dashed names) - Update all pages/utils/components to use new GraphQL-based curriculum fetch - Add graphqlCurriculumAdapters test for the new fetch utilities - Rename initial migration timestamp to match refactor branch history TODO: Remove hardcoded constants once GraphQL schema adds isLegacy/isJobPrep/requirements fields
