Notes
APIs tech debt review
- update sent to mailing list on tickets that we want to create
- feedback provided by Chongsun
- list of tickets is pretty much on the mailing list - Łukasz Lewczyński (Deactivated)
Mobile Strategy Discussion Review
- Reviewed multiple open source mobile tools over the last 2 months
- Continue building Stock Mgmt within OpenSRP after review as lowest risk
- Stock events are generated in the OpenSRP Android client, pushed to OpenSRP server and Nifi performs the integration with OpenLMIS. There is a one-to-one mapping of stock events between OpenSRP and OpenLMIS where all stock events generated in OpenSRP will go to OpenLMIS.
- Mobile Stock Management Integration Design Spec
- OpenSRP and OpenLMIS Integration Path Forward
Feature flags
- went with the easiest approach
- feature flags are configured via env variables
- UI feature flag example implemented for batch approval screen (enabling/disabling availability of the batch approve)
- Backend feature flag example implemented fix to filter search for for facilities by geo zone
- The UI example is long-lived feature flag that should be documented; the backend one is short-lived feature flag that will be removed
- potential problem - SQL migrations (they are not conditional at the moment); we agreed to leave it for now and just revert the migration file for release in case it's needed
- Feature Flags Read the docs
Locale consistency
- created epic and several tickets there to make locale consistent
- the focus of the epic is on the consistency for the end-user
- two main parts were we use/need locale and need to handle it: UI and Jasper reports
- start with the tickets to add locale/currency/date format to the system settings and make sure services are using it
- for future iterations: allow users to specify the timezone they want to display times in (the field already exists in User resource)
Action items
- Łukasz Lewczyński (Deactivated) to create tickets after APIs tech debt review
- Mateusz Kwiatkowski to create a ticket for documenting long-lived feature flags
- Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) to follow up on the dev forum about one resource vs several resources for configuring locale/date format/number etc.
- Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) to consult with Mary Jo on whether the epic should be considered tech debt
