services/user/src/UserProvider.tsx

+import React, { useContext } from 'react'
+import { CurrentUser } from './types'
+
+const defaultUser: CurrentUser = {


conceptually, shouldn't the default user be undefined? or at least an empty object?

and then I think the type for this should CurrentUser | undefined and the consumers responsible of handling it safely - let me know what you think

That makes sense. I agree that the default should be undefined conceptually, and consumers should handle that case explicitly. I’ll change the type to CurrentUser | undefined and update the default accordingly

+# DHIS2 App Data Service


typo in title - "User Service" not Data

Good catch, I will fix that.

runtime/src/Provider.tsx

 type ProviderInput = {
    config: Config
-    userInfo: CurrentUser
+    userInfo?: CurrentUser


small nit: I think it's more accurate to have the type as CurrentUser | undefined, right? - as in userInfo will always be there, but might be undefined?

I agree, CurrentUser | undefined is more accurate here. I’ll update it

@tibendadavis could you run yarn install locally and update the yarn.lock file. Something seems to be broken with the lock file now... (even on master)

kabaros · 2025-12-22T09:38:45Z

@tibendadavis there is a problem with the build on master (unrelated to your PR) - I am trying to fix it befoe merging yours. I will keep you updated.

tibendadavis · 2025-12-22T09:41:35Z

@kabaros Thanks for the update, appreciate it. Let me know if you need anything from my side.

and replace CurrentUserState with CurrentUser type

@tibendadavis I had to revert the references to the new service in this commit as it was referencing a new service that wasn't published yet - now once it is merged and published on CI, can you please create another PR off master to re-add the changes there and enable the new service provider?

tibendadavis · 2026-01-01T15:13:38Z

@kabaros Got it. I’ve created a new PR from the updated master branch with the changes, so it’s ready for review.
