OWA App Store

Abstract

Since we now have support for Open Web Apps [1], it would be great to put together a library of approved apps that could be downloaded and installed via a convenient user interface inside the OpenMRS web application. We already have Modulus [7] that does this for OpenMRS Modules, so one strategy would be to extend Modulus to also work for OpenMRS Open Web Apps.

Objectives

• Extend Modulus backend and API to support uploading and downloading of OWAs

• Implement App Store UI in OpenMRS OWA Module
