January 2026 Developer Meetup: Building DHIS2 web applications in 2026

Hello developers,

For the first edition of 2026 of the monthly meetup, we will discuss the latest updates from the App Platform for creating and building DHIS2 web applications. Some highlights include:

  • The new updated CLI for scaffolding new applications
  • Updates to the UI library (and some coming breaking changes :warning:)
  • New hook contributed to App Runtime by @Davis from HISP Tanzania

We also want to take the chance to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvements of the CLI and the DHIS2 web applications ecosystem. So come over prepared with your requests!

The meetup is on 2026-01-08T10:00:00Z. To register, please click this link. You will receive a DM on the CoP with the direct zoom link before the event! If you have registered before, you can use the same link.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Here is a teaser for the new CLI with updated templates and improved structure and functionality. I hope to see you all tomorrow for a first look and discuss all your ideas to improve it.

Give it a try already with pnpm create @dhis2/app (or npm instead of pnpm if you prefer)
