About & Sponsorships

Bulk Load App development is sustainable thanks to the partners for which we build customized DHIS2 solutions. This application has been funded by the WHO Global Malaria Programme, Samaritan’s Purse, Medecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) to support countries in strengthening the collection and use of health data by using DHIS2.

Also, the WHO Integrated Data Platform (WIDP), where several WHO departments and units share a dedicated hosting and maintenance provided by EyeSeeTea, back some specific new features. The Long Term Agreement EyeSeeTea holds with WHO for this maintenance includes maintenance of this application, ensuring that it will always work at least with the last version of WIDP. We are passionate about both DHIS2 and open source, so giving back to the community through dedicated open-source development is and will always be part of EyeSeeTea’s commitment.

You can also support our work through a one-time contribution or becoming a regular github sponsor

Setup

Install dependencies:

$ yarn install

Development

Start the development server:

$ PORT=8081 VITE_DHIS2_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8080" VITE_DHIS2_AUTH="" yarn start

Now in your browser, go to http://localhost:8081.

Notes:

• Requests to DHIS2 will be transparently proxied from http://localhost:8081/dhis2/path to http://localhost:8080/path (see vite.config.ts) to avoid CORS and cross-domain problems.

• The optional environment variable VITE_DHIS2_AUTH=USERNAME:PASSWORD forces some credentials to be used by the proxy. This variable is usually not set, so the app has the same user logged in at VITE_DHIS2_BASE_URL.

• The optional environment variable VITE_PROXY_LOG_LEVEL can be helpful to debug the proxied requests (accepts: "warn" | "debug" | "info" | "error" | "silent")

• Create a file .env.local (copy it from .env) to customize environment variables so you can simply run yarn start.

• why-did-you-render is loaded in development to help debug re-renders.
