Austin was talking about the UI library. Here’s our UI library tutorial for reference: DHIS2 UI Library | DHIS2 Developer Portal
If you’re a React developer you’ll have an edge already :wink:

Can you update the tutorials for App Platform. I followed the tutorial but still was not able to install dev environment. Also, it would be nice if you will add/ask other core dhis2-dev to check from time to time the forums and answer to the questions.

Hi Daler. Where going to address these points so glad you pointed this out (kind of validates our next efforts). If I might ask, in order to set up your dev environment, which of our guides/pages did you follow?
Thanks for the comment!

Sorry, @unused_account guess I’m saturated with Refetch … :laughing:

I meant to ask if the Fetching component, as in
return <div>Fetching<dic>
would diplay a loading spinner; in reference to this code:

@RModi No, it’s up to you to render a loading spinner based on fetching or loading props.
