Deploying forms

OpenEMR Development
1

Hello all,

I have made a number of custom forms for a client that I am currently maintaining in a clone of the main repo. I am currently pulling out all of the modifications to core I made into modules, which allows me to install this additional functionality with composer. Is there any reason I can’t deploy my custom forms with composer as well instead of tracking their development in a monolithic clone of the openemr repo? How are other people deploying their custom forms?

Thank you,

That’s been on my todo list to make it so custom forms can be added in via modules. I haven’t looked too deeply into the form mechanics but I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t add hooks into core to load in the forms via events.

All the forms I’ve seen others deploy is by passing around folders and zip files, at least for developers I’d much prefer this come in via modules.
