Abstract
Currently, in order to extend the functionality of OpenMRS, you have to create an OpenMRS Module. This requires a fair amount of Java knowledge as well as knowledge of the OpenMRS Java API design. Furthermore, modules are often tied to particular OpenMRS version and are sometimes dependent on specific versions of other modules. All of these facts increase the barrier to extending the functionality of OpenMRS. With the OpenMRS REST API becoming more mature, it makes sense to be able to allow developers with just HTML and JavaScript knowledge to extend the functionality of OpenMRS. The goal of this project is to enable the use Open Web Apps with OpenMRS (as has been done for DHIS2).Objectives
- It should be possible to upload an Open Web App to OpenMRS via the UI and the App should function as expected.
Extra Credit
- Add a wish here list here for future development.
Timeline
April 21 – May 19 (Community Bonding Period):
- Get to know my fellow peers and co-workers
- Throughout this period, I will as always be available on IRC to further discuss the proposal with members of the OpenMRS community so that I will be able to adjust or add things that I may have not thought of before.
- I will be actively engaged in discussions with my mentor to further understand and agree on the scope and requirements of the project.
May 19 – August 18:
- Development phase (to be broken down into detailed steps)
