[GSoC-2017] : Built-In Reports for Reference Application

  1. No, there are no UI mockups yet. I imagine we will want to have a customizable dashboard with a number of widgets presenting different report results.

  2. Let’s clarify our conventions. OpenMRS Open Web App (OWA) is not an OpenMRS module (OMOD). The easiest way to distinguish the two is that a module contains Java classes, whereas OpenMRS Open Web App does not and consists of htmls, css, js files, basically only front-end stack.

To answer your question we have a few OWAs already: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-metadatamapping/tree/master/owa (this one is embedded within a module) https://github.com/rkorytkowski/openmrs-owa-conceptdictionary (this one stands on its own) https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-owa-cohortbuilder (same as conceptdictionary but in React)

We’ll follow the metadatamapping approach i.e. embed OWA within a module, because we’ll need to write some logic in java as well.

  1. The easiest way is to use AngularJS 1.x or React, because others have used it already in OpenMRS. For AngularJS there’s the openmrs-contrib-uicommons library available with basic OpenMRS components like header, translation, authentication and web services. I’m okay with going with that or React. I wouldn’t go with Angular 2+, because we do not have any OpenMRS code using that yet and we would have to figure out everything ourselves.
