Getting started

DHIS2 Mobile UI library is a Compose Multiplatform DHIS2 design system library for Kotlin Multiplatform and Android applications.

DHIS2 UI Library Principles​

DHIS2 Mobile UI library is an open source design system for building DHIS2 Android and more mobile targets in the future. The system is based on a foundation of principles, patterns, and guidelines for designing user-friendly apps. A reusable component library provides the building blocks to develop DHIS2 apps with consistent user experience.

The UI library is more than just a collection of components, there also are principles, such as predefined colors, layout, typography, icons and patterns. You can find all of these in the DHIS2 UI documentation.
