Description

Porting administration functions for managing clinical data within OpenMRS to OpenMRS 3.0: A Frontend Framework. This project focuses on visits, encounters, and observations.

The primary goal of this project is to creating working micro frontend module(s) for these administration functions that can plug into the Administration Dashboard, meaning these functions will be expected to be developed using the best practices defined by the OpenMRS 3.0 Frontend Framework (Carbon Design, React/TypeScript) and register with the administration dashboard (mechanism to be determined), providing a title and a React component to render the administration function(s). The dashboard project will be responsible for organizing available administration functions, overall screen layout, and navigation between administration functions.

This project may include writing Java code to extend the REST Module to create needed REST endpoints. Those functions that have been implemented as Open Web Apps (OWAs) likely have the necessary REST endpoints, but functions that exist only in the legacy UI may not have yet been exposed as REST endpoints. The REST of Administration project can help in filling these gaps.

Project Champions

• Burke Mamlin
• Daniel Kayiwa

Skills Needed

• Familiarity with Java and JavaScript
• Familiarity with React and TypeScript
• Good understanding of REST
• HTML/CSS

Objectives

• Create a "Hello World" ESM module to plug into the Administration Dashboard following conventions of the Frontend Framework (React, TypeScript, Carbon Design). See this page for an overview of the plan. The module should register itself as an administration function and, when selected, display it's "Hello World" within the Administration Dashboard's content pane.
• Implement the following administration functions as ESM module(s), each registering as an administration function.
• For those administration features that do not have existing REST endpoints, create (or coordinate with the GSoC 2021: The REST of Administration project to create) those endpoints by extending the REST Module.

Below are the administration functions to be recreated in the new frontend framework. Examples of existing versions of each functions (in the Reference Application, as an OWA, or in the Legacy UI of OpenMRS 1.x) are provided for reference.

Visits

Provides functions for managing visits resources within OpenMRS as well as configuring how visits are used. A visit can contain 0-to-n encounters.
