GSoC Journey: Week 7

For me, this week is more about learning than the coding phase. This week I spent most of the time learning about GSP(Groovy Server Page). As the UI required for my module is built with GSP and Javascript in the openmrs-coreapp module.

To use patient search criteria in reference application, I need to add four more input fields which help the user to provides the input such as age, birthdate, gender. Current UI is as follow:

This UI only supports search patients by Id and Name. To add more input fields I need to perform the changes into findPatient.gsp(for UI) and PatientSearchWidget.js ( for taking the advantage of REST resources of patient search criteria module).

I took the help of this document : https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/App+Framework+Step+by+Step+Tutorial
