Icons

Every icon in the OpenMRS Application comes from a font called Font Awesome.


Some advantages of using a font for the icons are:

  • Easily style icon color, size, shadow, and anything that's possible with CSS.
  • Scalable vector graphics means every icon looks awesome at any size.
  • A font file is smaller than images.

If you need more icons, you can create your own font-family and add it in the variables. A good option for creating an icon font is IconMoon.

  1. // Below is the variable for the icon font
  2. // It is located in reference/_variable.scss.
  3. $iconFont: "FontAwesome";
  4. // This is how you insert an icon:
  5. <a class="button" href="#">
  6.      <i class="icon-home"></i>
  7.      Button with a home icon
  8. </a>

Here are the icons that you should use for specific purposes, for consistency across the reference application

How to override variables in your project

In order to override variables you need to add the file customVariables.scss to your project.

The first thing you need to do is import the variables.scss file from RAP sass framework. After that you can start overwriting the variables you want.

customVariables.scss

  1. @import "variables";
  2. //override variables
  3. $text: #003F5E;
  4. $highlight: #501D3D;

The next thing to do is to import customVariables.scss to your sass and after that import the RAP sass framework.

yourProject.scss

  1. @import "customVariables";
  2. @import "reference";

Buttons

There are 4 ways to get a button style in the OpenMRS Application:

  • By a class;
  • By a submit input;
  • By a button input;
  • By a button tag.
  1. // By a class:
  2. <a class="buttonhref="#">
  3.    This is a button
  4. </a>
  5. // By a submit input:
  6. <input type="submit" value="Submit Button" />
  7. // By a button input:
  8. <input type="button" value="Input Button" />
  9. // By a button tag:
  10. <button>
  11.    This is a button
  12. </button>

Customized buttons

Customized buttons are additional classes you can use to indicate types of buttons in the interface:

  • For actions: .confirm, .cancel
  • For icon sizes: .big, .medium
    • This will affect the icon size, not the button itself, but should be applied to the button level.
  • .disabled
    • Use it when a button in in an inactive mode, for example if the user needs to fill in an input to proceed.
  • .app
    • To create the apps buttons, all sized the same. Must come together with the .big class.
  • .task
    • For task buttons such as "Record Vitals". Usually used in the Patient Dashboard.
  • .arrow
    • For action buttons that needs a sense of direction. Usually used in the Archives room.

Button Groups

Button groups can achieve the same purpose as radio buttons or checkboxes, but they are often user-friendlier in interfaces intended to be managed by touch or mouse (but not keyboard).

The visual effect comes from marking one button with the "active" class. The actual behavior requires JavaScript, and works with AngularJS and ui-bootstrap.

  1. <div class="button-group">
  2.    <label class="button" ng-model="propertyToSet" btn-radio="valueToSetItTo"> Display </label>
  3.    <label class="button" ng-model="propertyToSet" btn-radio="anotherValueToSetItTo"> Another </label>
  4. </div>

Forms

Guidelines

  • Use top-aligned labels for input fields.
  • Use (required) after a label for required fields if the majority of the fields are optional.
  • Use (optional) after a label for optional fields if the majority of the fields are required.
  • If all your fields are either mandatory or optional, don't mark any.
  • Length of input fields should communicate the intended content.
  • Fields don't need to all be the same length. Mix long and short field length according to the content it is used for.

Validation

  • Use double visual emphasys for errors - Example: error message + red background in input.
  • Use descriptive error messages bellow the input fields.
  • if form is too long provide a summary of the errors on the top of the form.

Validation Short Forms

For short form validation use double visual emphasis on the input.

Input is required

Validation Long Forms

For long form validation use double visual emphasis on the input and also provide a summary error message on the top.

First Name is required

Input is required

Code

Everything inside tag <form> is auto styled to follow this styleguide rules.
The html structure is basically this: <form>
  <fieldset>
    <legend>
      <i class="icon-class-if-needed"></i>
      Fieldset title if needed
    </legend>
    <p class="input-position-class">
      <label name="input-id">Input label</label>
      <input id="input-id"/>
    </p>
  </fieldset>
</form>

Obs.:

  1. Always group a <label> and its <input> inside a <p/> tag;
  2. Always link the <label> name to its <input> id;
  3. Add class "left" for each <p/> tag if side-by-side inputs are needed;
  4. <legend> tag is only necessary if a fieldset title is needed;

Tables

Tables in the application are automatically styled with zebra-striping. Make sure you use <thead> and <tbody> sections around your rows.

If each of a table rows have multiple possible actions associated with them, use an "Actions" column with icons for those actions. You should describe the action with a tooltip via the title attribute, rather than repeating words in every row of the table.
