Applets are the foundation of extending SanteDB. An applet can contain:
Custom user interface components (using CSS, JavaScript, AngularJS, and HTML5)
Custom Business Rules written using the SanteDB Business Rules engine
Custom Reports written using the embedded reporting engine (those which operate in all SanteDB environments)
Clinical Decision Support Rules (CDSS) written using XML formatted when/then commands
Custom View-Model files which instruct SanteDB how to render JSON to consumer applications
Translations and localization settings for a particular locale
Custom matching configurations used for the SanteDB Matching Algorithms
Clinical Template Definitions which contain the validation rules, entry and render forms, and structure of clinical data
In order to develop SanteDB applets, you'll need a few tools:
The SanteDB Software Development Kit - Contains the necessary tools to debug and package your applet.
An HTML5 + JavaScript Editor - We recommend , but any editor will do the trick
(Optional) An XML Editor - An XML editor is highly recommended, especially if you're going to be doing heavy editing of SanteDB's CDSS, BI, DataSet, ViewModel or Subscription services.
Getting started with SanteDB applet authoring is easy
Start your favorite code editor!
To test your applet, you can run the Applet Debugging Environment (ADE)
