Sharing a sample module to create an implementation specific dashboard

[Craig A.]

Hi Everyone,

We have a number of people on Ask OpenMRS trying to figure out how to create a new fragment for their openmrs 2.x dashboard. I had this problem when I started as a developer and made a sample "MyDashboard" module that allows individuals to get up quickly. It simply creates a new dashboard based on the clinicianfacing dashboard in coreapps and links the findPatient, RegisterPatient and ActiveVisits to that dashboard. 

I couldn't find anything else like this. Can you take a look through the code and make sure it's complete? Is this something that you think would be good to integrate into the main openmrs github repo?

The Repo can be found at: https://github.com/craigappl/openmrs-module-MyDashboard

Sincerely,

Craig

Hi again,

I just had a realization. Maybe the implementation specific dashboard isn't needed. Maybe users just need an example of how to write a fragment view, controller and app extension to add it to the current clinician facing dashboard. Do you see a use case for this? Which would you give priority (full dashboard vs. fragment extension)?

Sincerely,

Craig

I think that an example of adding something to the existing patient dashboard is probably higher priority.

Hi Darius,

I didn't realize that page existed. I'll add information to it in the morning. I just finished the sample fragment module. It's incredibly simple, but contains all the pieces necessary to get a fragment up. The challenge would be to make it relevant to a new developer so they can see how to identify the right dependencies and build the right controller. These have been my greatest hurdles so far.

Sincerely,

Craig
