The mission of LibreHealth is to help provide high-quality medical care to all people, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or geographic location, by providing medical practices and clinics across the globe access to free-of-charge medical software. That same software is designed to save clinics both time and money, which gives practitioners more time to spend with individual patients, thereby supplying patients with higher-quality care. **Project description:** With many new enhancements under the hood and whole new MVC architecture using Laravel, the [LibreHealth EHR Laravel](https://gitlab.com/librehealth/ehr/lh-ehr-laravel) is moving to cutting-edge architecture using the PHP web framework. The goal of this project is to migrate the whole **User’s Module** as it is it in the Legacy codebase into the new Laravel codebase. You should know that you might have to make any adjustments required if there need be in the current codebase as it will demand and work closely with other team members in order to transition to the new framework. **NB** : You will be provided with a demo of EHR to facilitate your work during the project. **Preliminary tasks:** You are required to do at least (1) and any other 2 task of your choice 1.

Create a detailed [ReadMe](https://github.com/LibreHealthIO/lh-ehr-laravel#readme) for the new Laravel EHR project on how to install it, explaining where to find common modules, tech stack used etc. 3. Fix or suggest at least 2 PRs that implements feature from the Legacy codebase (NB: It could be anything like suggesting a button style, building a global component (input field) to fixing a broken link). 4. Design a mockup User Screen showing relevant forms to create/add a user and role(s). **Skills required:** - PHP (Laravel), HTML, CSS, JavaScript (VueJS) (required skills) - SQL and MariaDB/MySQL (required skills) - Tailwind CSS, InertiaJS (good to have) - Designing Skills (good to have) **Mentors:** @muarachmann and @tony ---

Hello, @muarachmann , I am Chaitak Gorai, a full-stack web developer with MERN, PHP, and MYSQL skills. I’m interested in the “Migrate EHR to Laravel” project for patient and user modules. This aligns perfectly with my skill set and interests, as I have experience working with Laravel and PHP/MYSQL, which is valuable in migrating the EHR to Laravel. I have completed the 1st task ie the setup. It will be great if you guide me on how to proceed further. ---

Hi @chaitak-gorai with the legacy codebase: You will need to seed some data to better understand this can be found in `sql/nhanes/libreehr_nhanes.sql.gz` . Your goal is to go around the legacy codebase thoroughly so that you can understand how it works. If you have any doubts on what a particular stuff does, feel free to reply here. You will need to identify the users module, the various roles and which users have access to what as this will be the core of your proposal. You can submit PRs to add existing features of the legacy codebase in this revamp that will help assess your skillset e.g design wise, maybe fixing a broken stuff or adding a feature like forgot password etc. Also you are expected to design a mockup UI of how adding/creating a user in the revamp will look like. Looking forward to seeing you around. ---

Hello @muarachmann , I was going through the legacy code base, After seeding the data I found that all the users have only one menu role “Default role” Is this what you were talking about or is it something else? Also in the “Add User” form, I found NewCrop eRX Role too. What are the differences between them? In the code base, i found code for creating and editing roles but was unavailable to find in the UI. Can you solve please my doubts? ---

Hello nice to see your interest in LH. Have you already submitted a proposal? @chaitak-gorai the roles can be seen in the `Admin -> ACL` also when adding a user roles can be assigned to them via the add user in `Admin -> Users` also we want to give them `CRUD` acccess. I think Laratrust handle’s this well. So you will have to identify, suggest or remove any role/permission that is not necessary. ---

There was some missing part to be done in my resume. I just now completed it. It has been so late already. Here is my final doc [GSOC proposal LibreHealthIO - Google Documenten](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I-xeYRM_q1Xc8A6X2-vYc7xYFchWb5MxN2wB3eU9hBU/edit?usp=sharing) .

actually, the roles module was added later on so i wasn’t able to complete the design on time. Doing it now, hope so can complete it before the submission deadline. ---

Sure @muarachmann… please guide me on how to proceed. As you suggested, we will require the `Role` models before the `User` model. So should we proceed with that first? Any prerequisite tasks I should start working on now? ---
