GSOC 2022: HTML Form Entry enabled in OpenMRS 3.x

[kumuditha (Kumuditha Karunarathna)]

Hi everyone,

Here’s what I understood about this project recently, feel free to correct any misinformation. I’m currently working on creating a draft proposal. The purpose of creating this thread is to clarify the doubts.

1. During my study about this project, I understood that part 1 is been implemented.

@icrc.psousa

@grace @kumuditha Part 1 (O3-1041 ) is implemented - This is the PR with the changes

This change allows us to specify through configuration, on our distro, which HFE forms we want listed on O3 and opened by redirecting the user away from the SPA to the old style form.

The decision whether to open the form within O3 SPA or old style is made here

2. The GSoC project is related to part 2. The aim of the project is to render the HFE forms in Openmrs 3x using an iframe or in a separate tab.

3. I was unable to find any HFE forms in the 3. x Ref app currently. I went through the configurations provided in the implementor tools tab. As I understood the forms haven’t been added yet. Is this related to part 2 of the implementation?

@grace

Thanks to the work by @icrc.psousa (described here ), we now have a workaround way of showing HFE forms in the 3.x RefApp

I want to implement this in our 3.x Demo.

Does any org rep here have an HFE form they’d like to see tried out on the 3.x Demo? @ddesimone @ball @ssmusoke?

4. In the initial stage, the forms will be shown by redirecting the user to old-style forms. Is this currently implemented? How can I test it?
