## Overview

This Project is based upon the [openmrs-react-components](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-react-components/) library, which provides Common React components to be used in any owa based on the OpenMRS platform.

The Project involved adding new components and publishing a npm package to generate a Minimal & Example template based on the above components library. (_Detailed Objectives mentioned below_)

## Objectives

- **New Components**

- **Automation Scripts**

- **Extra Credit**

## Future Works

So as of now there are 3 ways i think, i can keep contributing to the OpenMRS community.

1. Maintain & Enhance the work i have done untill now. (Example & Minimal script)
2. As i have spent ample amount of time with openmrs-react-components library, participating in enhancement of this library would be the next step.
3. Branch out into new projects where i may be able to contribute.

## Thoughts on GSoC

GSoC was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to put it directly. I have learnt numerous new things while working on the requirements of this project.

It turned out to be way different than what i thought GSoC would be. There are many important skills that i learnt through this GSoC which will stay with me life-long, **Consistency** (working on a single project day-in and day-out) and **Time Management** (keeping with the deadlines).

I have lost the **Open-Source Phobia** , i once had and am glad to say that, working with OpenMRS have given me the courage to start contributing to other Open-Source projects, one of which would be [apollo-starter-kit](https://github.com/sysgears/apollo-universal-starter-kit).

I intend to be a part of OpenMRS community forever, as i am in this for the long run.

**Thank You** , _OpenMRS and my mentors to have started this New Open-Source chapter of my life._
