Start developement mode

yarn start
Then go to http://127.0.0.1:3000/ or http://localhost:3000

Note that localhost:3000 and 127.0.0.0:3000 needs to be whitelisted in Dhis2 Settings -> Access -> CORS whitelist see https://<>/dhis-web-settings/index.html#/access

in package.json

 "proxy": "https://mydhis2",

in .env.development

REACT_APP_DHIS2_URL=http://localhost:3000

and you can run your first recipes !

Deployment to production (from source)

./ship.sh 'https://play.dhis2.org/2.31.6' 'admin' '<password>'

Official release - How to

1. Make sure to update the CHANGELOG.md
2. Adapt package.json and public/manifest.webapp to have the next version number
3. Build a zip by launching ./release.sh
4. Login in to https://apps.dhis2.org/
   • Dhis2 Taskr => new version,
   • upload the zip
   • pick to the lower dhis2 version and higher dhis2 version (we are probably compatible)
5. Test the released app on a play instance (cfr app management, install)
6. Version cleanup
   • don't delete the 0.0.23 version (it's the last app supporting really old dhis2 versions),
   • but you can delete perhaps other intermediate versions (except if major changes happened)
