Workflow is an Open Source project aimed towards the creation of data flow models using config files thereby allowing you to easily create and interact with stateful applications with minimum setup.
- Can connect to your custom backend
- Have the edit api in case user wants to edit submitted response
- Api to customize changes in XML of the form
- Have beautiful themes and widgets
- Are printer-friendly
- Can use very powerful skip and validation logic
- Runs on any device, mobile or desktop, as long as it has a fairly modern browser
-
Your machine should have Yarn or Npm, Docker, Python installed.
Note: Preferable Npm version (6.14.15) and Node version(v14.18.1) and Ubuntu OS version(18.04)
-
Check the node and npm version by running following commands.
node -v npm -v
Method 1 (Using Gitpod)
-
Fork this repo 🍴
-
Click on the Gitpod button above ☝️
-
It opens a complete development setup directly 😄
-
No need to clone and struggle with installing packages, managing node versions, banging head on the keyboard, etc (Cool right?)
Method 2 (Manually on Local Machine)
-
Fork the repository 🍴
-
Clone the forked repository to your local machine. And goto the root directory of repository.
-
Change the enviroment variables in sample.env or .env file as shown below. It will use the locally created containers and connect to those services.
REACT_APP_ENKETO_URL=http://localhost:8065 REACT_APP_FORM_MANAGER_URL=http://localhost:3006 REACT_APP_HASURA_URL=http://localhost:8080 -
Start the docker services
docker-compose up -d --build
-
Stop and remove the container of React app named
wrapperdocker ps -aqf "name=wrapper" # Use the output `<id>` to stop the wrapper container. docker stop <id> && docker rm <id>
-
Navigate to the
wrapperdirectory.cd apps\wrapper\
-
Using pnpm to install dependencies and run the app live
pnpm install pnpm run start
NOTE: For local development enketo-express needs node 14 and pnpm@7. Run nvm use 14 &&
npm i -g pnpm@7if developing in enketo-express
-
If you go to ports on terminal and open the
React Wrapper apprunning on port 3000 you can see a demo UILike This 👇
-
Currently offering 4 demo flows namely
- Jumping Forms (Opening of next form once the first one is submitted)
- Hasura Submissions (Basically saving the form data to any database, hasura extending postgres in this case)
- Offline capabilites (How the form behaves when working offline)
- File Upload (How to handle uploading files to any desired CDN, Minio in this case)
Jumping Forms
This flow basically covers how you can configure your forms using form spec file (covered in a little while) to handle how the submission works. Like opening another form or redirecting to some page within the app or opening this link here
Hasura Submissions
Covering how to handle form data submission to your database be it a sql or NoSql based db. In our setup we have used Hasura which creates an instant GraphQL data provider to use with Postgres based db
Offline Capabilites
Just touching on to the offline capabilites offered right now. Here we have configured the form such that rather than failing form submissions entirely, it throws a warning/info message to the user indicating that the user is offline and is advised to resubmit the form once they're back online.
File Upload
One of the most important thing in any kind of form input is how to handle file uploads. Workflow module allows you to configure your cdn easily and point file uploads directly to the CDN effortleslly 💃 In our configuration we have used Minio to store all the uploaded files.
In order to achiever this, the submission url in the form spec (covered later below) with your hosted backend.
- Encrypting query parameters on rendering the enketo form.
- Writing a API for changing an XML form directly from it.
- add npm scripts for install
We are trying to an inversion of control here.
