Presentations / Attachments

Minutes

• experiences from Cameron implementation project. Some developments were done as modification of the existing models, so need to detail how these can be done properly

  • Inspiration

    • https://github.com/openimis/openimis-be-claim_ai_quality_py

    • https://github.com/openimis/openimis-fe-claim_ai_quality_js

  • Frontend (React)

    • the various forms expose contribution points that additional modules can inject their own components

    • some forms might not have the contribution part already available, it is great to add them or fix them (Blsq just did fix a ClaimForm contribution point)

    • idea: build a form mask to know if the fields are displayed or not

      • to be used in future workflow functionality

  • Backend

    • use managed tables

    • extend by using json_ext, table fields or dedicated table

    • how can we extend GraphQL objects ? Adding new mutations and queries is fine, just define them in schema.py in your own module and it’ll be included. Overriding GQLType objects to add fields might be a bit more difficult, Eric will check the options

  • Dragos and Damian to train developers in Tanzania next week

    • inspiration for future video tutorials

  • We should probably dedicate a Wiki section for developer onboarding, examples and troubleshooting

  • Let’s share examples of such cases to see whether we include them into the core or show how it can be best implemented as a module.
