Getting Started

For an introduction to the Application Platform concept, there is a short article and video on the DHIS2 Developer Portal.

The Application Platform provides common build system, development tools, runtime support, and standard functionality for DHIS2 applications. The basic features of a modern, compliant, and functional application are all provided out-of-the-box.

The baseline features built-in to any platform application include:

• Build and development tooling (@dhis2/cli-app-scripts)

  • I18n extract/generate
  • Manifest generation
  • Dependency injection
  • Tests infrastructure
  • Transpilation & Bundling
  • App-shell encapsulation
  • Publication & Release

• Application runtime support (@dhis2/app-runtime)

  • UI Components (@dhis2/ui)
  • API Data fetching
  • Translations
  • Configuration
  • Server discovery
  • Loading & Error handling
  • Authentication
