DHIS2 Mobile UI

Dhis2 Mobile UI library documentation, installation and usage is explained in DHIS2 Developer portal
Compose Compiler Reports
The Compose Compiler plugin can generate reports / metrics around certain compose-specific concepts
that can be useful to understand what is happening with some of your compose code at a fine-grained
level.
You can read more about
it here.
To generate the reports / metrics, run the following Gradle command
./gradlew assembleDebug -PenableComposeCompilerReports=true
This would generate the output at <module>/build/compose_metrics
Screenshot Testing
We are using Paparazzi for screenshot testing.
Screenshot testing
class InputChipSnapshotTest {
@get:Rule
val paparazzi = paparazzi()
@Test
fun launchChip() {
paparazzi.snapshot {
ColumnComponentContainer {
InputChip(label = "Label", selected = false, badge = "3")
InputChip(label = "Label", selected = true, badge = "3")
}
}
}
}
Running tests
./gradlew designsystem:testDebugUnitTest
Runs tests and generates an HTML report at /build/reports/paparazzi/ showing all test runs
and snapshots.
Verifying golden images
./gradlew designsystem:verifyPaparazziDebug
Runs screenshot tests and verifies them against committed golden images. Failures generate diffs
at /build/paparazzi/failures.
Updating golden images (CI only)
Golden images are generated and committed by GitHub Actions, not locally.
- Push your screenshot test changes your working a branch.
- Run the Generate Paparazzi Golden Images workflow from the Actions tab in GitHub.
- If verification fails, the workflow records new images, re-runs verification, and commits the
updated snapshots to the same branch.
- Re-run CI (or
./gradlew designsystem:verifyPaparazziDebug locally) to confirm everything is green.
If you cannot trigger workflows on the upstream repository, run the workflow on your fork branch and include the generated snapshot commit in your pull request.
Documentation
The Mobile UI documentation is integrated in the developer portal. It
uses Docusaurus, a modern tool to build documentation pages.
The documentation is written in Markdown. The sidebar is automatically generated based on the metadata
of the different files. It follows the rules explained in the autogenerated sidebar docs.
In short, every file must have a sidebar_position label at the beginning of the document, which
defines the position of the document relative to its folder. Then, each folder has a _category_.yml
file, which has a position property defining the position of that folder relative to its parent folder.
It is possible to nest as many folders as desired following that pattern.
Testing
It is possible to build the Developers portal documentation to test your changes.
Steps to test:
- Do the changes in the Mobile UI docs and push them to a branch in github.
- Download the Deverlopers portal repository.
- Change the branch in the Mobile UI block in the file
docs-migrate.js to point to your branch.
- Follow the instructions in CONTRIBUTING
to build the docs.
