Pitch: Replacement of Reference Application Style Guide with one based on TwitterBootstrap

Great! Thanks for the quick response too.

Hey @ssmusoke,

After some good ā€˜pokingā€™ on how to best customize bootstrap I would recommend @dariusā€™ option c shared on this post

( c) leverage bootstrap-sass and rewrite the existing uicommons styles to use bootstrapā€™s mixins. This requires actual thinking, whereas the other two options are pretty brute-force.

It actually is the theming approach for bootsrap4 as stated in the documentation.

From the discussions that have been going on, I get the impression that the starting point of the integration is the Reference Application (please correct me if I am wrong). Iā€™m having a bit of a challenge locating the ref app repo as my search returns 6 different repos.

@nagadya I think you may be looking to:

  1. UI Commons https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-uicommons which is where the base libraries and stylesheets are

  2. Reference Application - https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-referenceapplication

Thanks @ssmusoke. How do I get to test out the changes I make to my locally cloned versions of any of the above repos? Unfortunately neither has a readme.

@ssmusoke @nagadya thanks for working on this!

fyi, to minimize any hiccups when upgrading, Iā€™d love to test out how the new changes (when ready) affect the PIH EMR (which using the uicommons stylesheets and itā€™s own custom stylesheets, but not anything defined in the reference application).

When you have any committed to a branch of uicommons or whatever, please let me know, so I can test (and give feedback!).

Thanks, Mark
