Want to contribute? Join our squad! 

  1. Review the high-level guidance on this page
  2. Intro: Introduce yourself at our Squad #microfrontends Slack channel (Note: You will first need to create an OpenMRS Slack account by going to slack.openmrs.org)
  3. Dev Guide: Use our Dev Guide to get started. Look for answers there.  info Dev Guide  If you are still unsure about a question, ask our squad in the #microfrontends slack channel.
  4. Find Intro Tickets: Intro tickets you can use to start contributing are available here:  checkbox Open Issues to Get Started This dashboard shows the latest Intro and Non-Intro tickets that need to be taken on to support the MicroFrontend work. This also shows the different features (via Epics) that are currently underway. 
    1. Note: To view the designs in detail, you'll need an invite to our Zeplin account. Ask Grace Potma& Eric Achillah for help - @grace & @Eric on Slack. Make sure you also review our short How to Use Zeplin video.
    2. Please assign tickets to yourself before starting work. This helps avoid confusion and accidental duplication of work. Double-check the ticket's Epic for other related work before working on things outside the described scope of the ticket - you may accidentally be replicating a feature someone else is already working on.
  5. Meet Us! Join our weekly Squad calls on Thursdays (info under Where You Can Find Us above) (GCal invite here). 
  6. Sprints: Become part of our regular sprints. This will happen naturally as you join our calls, though you don't need to join all calls in order to participate. Here is our active board. We use epics to break down features and widgets, and we typically work in 3-week sprints.  board Active Sprint Board backlog Squad Backlog & Sprints




Project Overview

We are working on 3 main goals that will unlock better frontend collaboration across OpenMRS:

(1) Plug-and-Play Frontend Architecture: makes it possible for frontend feature development to be shared across teams, organizations, and distributions

(2) Implementer Tooling: makes it easier for non-developers to configure the product to the needs of their organization or site

(3) A friendly, modern, consistent User Experience: with a professional UX framework, this further unlocks frontend feature-sharing, and creates a 3.0 option of the OpenMRS RefApp

info Dev Guide

Microfrontends are in-browser javascript modules (ESMs) that provide application UI. To see available microfrontends including links to their documentation pages, check out all our Microfrontend repos here: https://github.com/orgs/openmrs/teams/microfrontends-squad/repositories

Core Microfrontends

These are microfrontends that are part of openmrs-esm-core. They are tightly coupled to the base application.

(2) Implementer Tooling: Tooling we're building to make MFE easier for implementers to configure

(3) Building a Friendly, Modern UX in RefApp v3.0

Create a better means for building out a shared UI. Modernizing the entire RefApp frontend, using Carbon Design System for UI consistency and faster dev value. Needs to become a Point of Care application, that’s modern, friendly, and works well on tablets. 

We are working on a re-design of the patient chart, starting with end-to-end support for HIV Outpatient Workflows; pilot plan ~ April 2021 at Ampath.
