Good news! Vite and React 18 in the app platform are ready to use! Vite replaces the deprecated Create React App (CRA) for starting and build apps, and React v18 replaces v16.

We're very excited for these updates — both will significantly modernize the App Platform, and Vite will be a big upgrade from CRA. It will greatly improve the developer experience, and with greater control over the configuration, it will open up some powerful new possibilities for the platform.

Here are some tips about what to expect, and how to easily upgrade to the latest version of @dhis2/cli-app-scripts to take advantage of Vite and React 18.

We have just released a new major version of the app-platform: version 10. Upgrading to version 10 should be relatively easy for all apps currently using version 9 of cli-app-scripts. In this post we'll walk you through the most important change for this release.

The App Platform 8.x series has been released, and is ready for general use. Let's take a minute to walk through some of the changes and new functionality.

The DHIS2 Design System is now available as a Figma Community library.

As of mid-July 2020, the Chrome (and Chromium) stable release channel has started to disable cross-site cookies by default. Mozilla Firefox has pushed this change to their beta channel and will likely release it to the stable channel soon. This change affects any DHIS2 application running on a different domain than the DHIS2 server instance, including applications running on localhost in development. It does not affect cross-site API requests which use Basic or OAuth authentication headers, as those do not rely on cookies for authentication.

During the DHIS2 Annual Conference a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of introducing our ongoing efforts to develop a formalized and consolidation Application Platform here at UiO.

Keep in mind that the Application Platform is still a work in progress! It's not quite ready for prime-time yet, but if you're excited about where we're going (or have questions or concerns), don't hesitate to reach out.

As a developer you operate on many repositories. To keep all of the repositories up-to-date there are as many strategies as there are developers. Personally I have gone from doing it manually, to writing scripts (e.g. 1, 2), trying different tools (e.g. 1), and the latter is what this post is about.

Today we are excited to announce the stable v1.0 release of d2, the DHIS2 CLI!

d2 is a modular, standardized, and consolidated tool to make developing in the DHIS2 ecosystem as painless as possible.
