fhir-schemas

FHIR Resources implemented with json-schemas and some backwards support for simpl-schema. The purpose of this package is to a) make the HL7 FHIR json-schemas available on NPM, and b) start migrating Meteor apps off of meteor-simple-schema. Roughly speaking, the SimpleSchemas correspond to either v1.6.0 of DST2, and the JsonSchemas correspond to v3.0.1 or STU3.

Installation

# the core schema libraries 
npm install -save fhir-schemas
 
# if you're running a Meteor app, you'll also want to install the following conversion utility 
meteor npm install -save fhir-schemas
meteor add bshamblen:json-simple-schema

JsonSchema Usage

Going forward, we recommend the Json Schama format, which is the official schema published by the HL7 FHIR working groups, has low-level Mongo support, and has cross-platform support across a wide rage of Node/NPM apps.

Client

//-------------------------------------------------------------
// Schema Validation
 
import { FhirApi } from 'fhir-schemas';
import Ajv from 'ajv';
 
var ajv = new Ajv;    
var validate = ajv.addSchema(FhirApi).getSchema('http://hl7.org/fhir/json-schema/Patient');
 
var newPatient = {
    "resourceType": "Patient",
    "name": [{
        "family": 'Doe',
        "given": ['Jane']
    }],
    "identifier": [{
        "value": '123'
    }]
};
 
var isValid = validate(newPatient);
 
//-------------------------------------------------------------
// Server
 
 
import MongoClient from 'mongodb';
 
// this is a legacy API; based on the FHIR schemas shipping in different files
// will probably be deprecated in the future
import { PatientSchema } from 'fhir-schemas';
 
// Connection URL
const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';
 
// Database Name
const dbName = 'myproject';
 
// Use connect method to connect to the server
MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, client) { 
    const db = client.db(dbName);
 
    // we're hoping to have something like the following in the future
    // var PatientSchema = ajv.addSchema(FhirApi).getSchema('http://hl7.org/fhir/json-schema/Patient');
 
    db.createCollection("Patients", {
        validator: {
            $jsonSchema: PatientSchema
        }
    });
 
    if(isValid){
        console.log("newPatient is valid...");
 
        // Insert some documents
        db.collection('CurrentPatients').insertMany([
            newPatient
        ], function(err, result) {
            console.log("Inserted newPatient into the CurrentPatients collection");
        });
    } else {
        console.log("newPatient isn't valid...");
        console.log(validate.errors);
    }
 
    client.close();
});
 
 
 
//-------------------------------------------------------------
// Auto Forms 
// This is still experimental, and may not work.  
 
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
 
import Form from "react-jsonschema-form";
 
import { FhirApi, PatientSchema } from 'fhir-schemas';
 
const log = (type) => console.log.bind(console, type);
 
render((
  <Form schema={ PatientSchema }
        onChange={log("changed")}
        onSubmit={log("submitted")}
        onError={log("errors")} />
), document.getElementById("app"));
 
 
var simpleSchema = jsonSchema.toSimpleSchema();

Server - Meteor

The following is an example for Meteor apps.

import { PatientSchema } from 'fhir-schemas';
 
// JSONSchema is provided as a global, since it's loaded from Atmosphere package repository
var jsonSchema = new JSONSchema(PatientSchema);
 
// convert to simple schema
var simpleSchema = jsonSchema.toSimpleSchema();
 
// create our server side cursor
CurrentPatients = new Mongo.Collection('CurrentPatients');
 
// and attach the cursor
CurrentPatients.attachSchema(SimpleSchemas.PatientSchema);
 
// for debugging
var props = jsonSchema.toSimpleSchemaProps();
console.log('props', props)

Json Schemas

We provide Json Schemas for all of the following resources.
