JavaScript client for FHIR
## Goals:
- Support FHIR CRUD operations
- Friendly and expressive query syntax
- Support for adapters that provide idiomatic interfaces in angular, jQuery, extjs, etc
- Support for access control (HTTP basic, OAuth2, Cookies)
- ...
## Development
`Node.js` is required for build.
We recommend installing Node.js using [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/README.md#installation)
Build & test:
```
git clone https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js
cd fhir.js
npm install
# build fhir.js
npm run-script build
# run tests in node
npm run-script test
# run tests in phantomjs
npm run-script integrate
```
## API
### Create instance of the FHIR client
To communicate with concrete FHIR server, you can
create instance of the FHIR client, passing a
configuration object & adapter object. Adapters are
implemented for concrete frameworks/libs (see below).
```
var config = {
// FHIR server base url
baseUrl: 'http://myfhirserver.com',
auth: {
bearer: 'token',
// OR for basic auth
user: 'user',
pass: 'secret'
},
// Valid Options are 'same-origin', 'include'
credentials: 'same-origin',
headers: {
'X-Custom-Header': 'Custom Value',
'X-Another-Custom': 'Another Value',
}
}
myClient = fhir(config, adapter)
```
#### Config Object
The config object is an object that is passed through the middleware chain. Any values in the config object that are not mutated by middleware will be available to the adapter.
Because middleware mutates the config, it is strongly recommended when implementing an adapter to not directly rely on config passed in.
##### baseUrl
This is the full url to your FHIR server. Resources will be appended to the end of it.
##### auth
This is an object representing your authentication requirements. Possible options include:
###### bearer
This is your Bearer token when provided, it will add an `Authorization: Bearer ` header to your requests.
###### user
This is your Basic auth Username.
When you provide both user name and password, basic auth will be used.
###### pass
This is your basic auth password.
When you provide both user name and password, basic auth will be used.
##### credentials
This option controls the behaviour of sending cookies to the remote server. Refer to the table below for how to configure the option for your desired adapter.
| Adapter | credentials | Result |
|----------|---------------|---------------------------|
| Native | 'same-origin' | Cookies are sent to the server, if it is on the same host as the origin sender |
| Native | 'include' | Send cookies to all hosts |
| jQuery | 'same-origin' | ignored |
| jQuery | 'include' | Send cookies to all hosts |
| yui | 'same-origin' | ignored |
| yui | 'include' | Send cookies to all hosts |
| angular | 'same-origin' | ignored |
| angular | 'include' | ignored |
| node | 'same-origin' | ignored |
| node | 'include' | ignored |
##### headers
A key:value object that represents headers. This object is passed through to you configured adapter.
If you choose to add custom headers to your requests, you should ensure that the server that you are talking to supplies the appropriate headers. Further reading on Allowed Headers: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS
```javascript
const config = {
headers: {
'X-Custom-Header': 'Custom Value',
'X-Another-Custom': 'Another Value',
}
}
```
### Adapter implementation
Currently each adapter must implement an
`http(requestObj)` function:
Structure of requestObj:
* `method` - http method (GET|POST|PUT|DELETE)
* `url` - url for request
* `headers` - object with headers (i.e. {'Category': 'term; scheme="sch"; label="lbl"'}
and return promise (A+)
http(requestObj).then(success, error)
where:
`success` - success callback, which should be called with (data, status, headersFn, config)
* data - parsed body of responce
* status - responce HTTP status
* headerFn - function to get header, i.e. headerFn('Content')
* config - initial requestObj passed to http
`error` - error callback, which should be called with (data, status, headerFn, config)
Here are implementations for:
* [AngularJS adapter](https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js/blob/master/src/adapters/angularjs.js)
* [jQuery adapter](https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js/blob/master/src/adapters/jquery.js)
* [Node adapter](https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js/blob/master/src/adapters/node.js)
* [YUI adapter](https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js/blob/master/src/adapters/yui.js)
* [Native adapter](https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js/blob/master/src/adapters/native.js)
### Conformance & Profiles
### Resource's CRUD
#### Create Resource
To create a FHIR resource, call
`myClient.create(entry, callback, errback)`, passing
an object that contains the following properties:
* `resource` (required) - resource in FHIR json
* `tags` (optional) - list of categories (see below)
In case of success,the callback function will be
invoked with an object that contains the following
attributes:
* `id` - url of created resource
* `content` - resource json
* `category` - list of tags
```javascript
var entry = {
category: [{term: 'TAG term', schema: 'TAG schema', label: 'TAG label'}, ...]
resource: {
resourceType: 'Patient',
//...
}
}
myClient.create(entry,
function(entry){
console.log(entry.id)
},
function(error){
console.error(error)
}
)
```
#### Get resource
To get one specific object from a resource (usually by id), call `fhir.read({type: resourceType})`. To specify the patient identifier, call `fhir.read({type: resourceType, patient: patientIdentifier})`
Examples:
```js
fhir.read({type: 'Patient', patient: '8673ee4f-e2ab-4077-ba55-4980f408773e'})
```
#### Search Resource
To search a resource, call `fhir.search({type: resourceType, query: queryObject})`,
where queryObject syntax `fhir.js` adopts
mongodb-like query syntax ([see](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/query-documents/)):
```javascript
{name: 'maud'}
//=> name=maud
{name: {$exact: 'maud'}}
//=> name:exact=maud
{name: {$or: ['maud','dave']}}
//=> name=maud,dave
{name: {$and: ['maud',{$exact: 'dave'}]}}
//=> name=maud&name:exact=Dave
{birthDate: {$gt: '1970', $lte: '1980'}}
//=> birthDate=gt1970&birthDate=lte1980
{subject: {$type: 'Patient', name: 'maud', birthDate: {$gt: '1970'}}}
//=> subject:Patient.name=maud&subject:Patient.birthDate=gt1970
{'subject.name': {$exact: 'maud'}}
//=> subject.name:exact=maud
```
#### Update Resource
To update a resource, call `fhir.update({type: resourceType, id: identifier, resource: resourceObject})`.
In case of success,the callback function will be invoked.
Example:
```javascript
this.fhirClient.update({
type: "Patient",
id: 1,
resource: {
name: 'New Name'
}
}).catch(function(e){
console.log('An error happened while updating patient: \n' + JSON.stringify(e));
throw e;
}).then(function(bundle){
console.log('Updating patient successed');
return bundle;
});
```
#### Delete Resource
To update a resource, call `fhir.delete({type: resourceType, id: identifier})`.
For more information see [tests](https://github.com/FHIR/fhir.js/blob/master/test/querySpec.coffee)
## AngularJS adapter: `ng-fhir`
AngularJS adapter after `npm run-script build` can be found at `dist/ngFhir.js`
Usage:
```javascript
angular.module('app', ['ng-fhir'])
.config(['$fhirProvider', function ($fhirProvider) {
$fhirProvider.baseUrl = 'http://try-fhirplace.hospital-systems.com';
$fhirProvider.auth = {
user: 'user',
pass: 'secret'
};
$fhirProvider.credentials = 'same-origin'
}])
.controller('mainCtrl', ['$scope', '$fhir', function ($scope, $fhir) {
$fhir.search(
{
type: 'Patient',
query: {name: 'emerald'}
}).then(
function (successData) {
$scope.patients = successData.data.entry;
},
function (failData) {
$scope.error = failData;
}
);
}]);
```
## jQuery adapter: `jqFhir`
jQuery build can be found at `dist/jqFhir.js`
[Example app](http://embed.plnkr.co/e4BKr0M07q4FVVQeP6f4/)
Usage:
```html
```
```javascript
// create fhir instance
var fhir = jqFhir({
baseUrl: 'https://ci-api.fhir.me',
auth: {user: 'client', pass: 'secret'}
})
fhir.search({type: 'Patient', query: {name: 'maud'}})
.then(function(bundle){
console.log('Search patients', bundle)
})
```
## Node.js adapter: `npm install fhir.js`
Via NPM you can `npm install fhir.js`. (If you want to work on the source code,
you can compile coffee to js via `npm install`, and use `./lib/adapters/node`
as an entrypoint.)
```
var mkFhir = require('fhir.js');
var client = mkFhir({
baseUrl: 'http://try-fhirplace.hospital-systems.com'
});
client
.search( {type: 'Patient', query: { 'birthdate': '1974' }})
.then(function(res){
var bundle = res.data;
var count = (bundle.entry && bundle.entry.length) || 0;
console.log("# Patients born in 1974: ", count);
})
.catch(function(res){
//Error responses
if (res.status){
console.log('Error', res.status);
}
//Errors
if (res.message){
console.log('Error', res.message);
}
});
```
## YUI adapter: `yuiFhir`
YUI build can be found at `dist/yuiFhir.js`
NOTE: The current implementation creates a YUI sandbox per request which is expensive.
Usage:
```html
```
```javascript
// create fhir instance
var fhir = jqFhir({
baseUrl: 'https://ci-api.fhir.me',
auth: {user: 'client', pass: 'secret'}
})
fhir.search(type: 'Patient', query: {name: 'maud'}, success: function(bundle) {}, error: function() {})
```
## Native adapter: `npm install fhir.js`
The Native adapter is part of fhir.js npm module. The adapter can be consumed in a few ways, the simplest is documented below.
### Usage
This assumes use of browserify or similar bundler.
1. `npm install fhir.js`
2. In your js somewhere use the following snippet.
```javascript
// Include the adapter
var nativeFhir = require('fhir.js/src/adapters/native');
// Create fhir instance
var fhir = nativeFhir({
baseUrl: 'https://ci-api.fhir.me',
auth: {user: 'client', pass: 'secret'}
});
// Execute the search
fhir.search({type: 'Patient', query: {name: 'maud'}}).then(function(response){
//manipulate your data here.
});
```
## For Developers
FHIR.js is built on top of **middleware** concept.
What is middleware?
This is a high order function of shape:
```js
var mw = function(next){
return function(args){
if (...) // some logic{
return next(args); //next mw in chain
} else {
return promise; //short circuit chain
}
}
}
```
Using function Middleware(mw) you can get composable middle-ware (with .and(mw) method):
```
mwComposition = Middleware(mw).and(anotherMw).and(anotherMw);
```
Every API function is built as chain of middlewares with end handler in the end:
```js
conformance = $GET.and(BaseUrl.slash("metadata")).end(http)
create = $POST.and($resourceTypePath).and($ReturnHeader).and($JsonData).end(http),
```
