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.

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.

In 2019 we established a new application development paradigm with the App Platform. The Platform provides a unified framework for DHIS2 Web App development, so it is time to deprecate a few of our legacy libraries!
