Continuing the discussion from [Discussion] Reference Application 2.6 Roadmap for April 28, 2017 Release: looking at implementation of https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/RA-1286 and also this question Publishing Event Alerts to Patient Dashboard + New Sections in Layout
There is a general need to provide ability to easily control and configure different sections of the Reference Application. So I am wondering from those who do web design, what options are there for using templates that can provide this foundation feature.
I am going to use the Patient dashboard in this case
-
How can new sections be added without touching the controller code.
-
Does using the App Framework as a templating tool in conjunction with the UI framework, introduce too much complexity into it? As it may require to have functions like ability to extend apps and app templates
-
For those who do web design more often, are there tools and libraries that can be introduced to provide JSON-like configuration for UI components? This problem may also influence the Form Designer work being done by AMPATH and Bahmni…
-
Can the same templating approach be leveraged for both the serverside (gsp pages) and client side (Angular/React) templates?
Waiting to hear your thoughts and input
