Axios upgrade to v1

[abdullahwaheed]

Abstract

All the micro-frontends(MFEs) of edX uses axios v0, which comes from @edx/frontend-platfrom.

Context & Background

We need to upgrade axios to v1 in frontend-platform since its no longer supported and now has security vulnerabillites.

Scope & Approach

[edit] We will release major version of frontend-platform and then we have to update all the dependent MFEs accordingly.

After some changes in frontend-platform and testing it in accounts, profile, admin portal and some other MFEs, we found out that its not breaking its consumers, so we won't be releasing it as a breaking changes

Value & Impact

It will resolve security vulnerabillities
