ember

A tool for building FHIR transaction bundles based on example instances in designated FHIR IG's. This makes it easy to bootstrap or load existing FHIR servers that supports transaction bundles with test/example data from IG's. Where ember solely focuses on example resources the tool at https://github.com/brianpos/UploadFIG also handles other scenarios.

usage

There are 6 parameters:

• directory: (only works with FHIR R5 - optional) can be used if you just wan't to scrape a directory of FHIR resources and combine them to a FHIR transaction bundle.
• serverBase: (optional) If serverbase is omitted, the total bundle transaction is printed in the terminal aka. a "dry-run". If serverbase is provided it will send the bundle transaction to the server address.
• packageId: The packageId is the IG id and version.
• includeSearchBundles: (optional) By default search bundles are not included - they can be by setting includeSearchBundles to true.
• location: The location parameter can be used to point to a local package using file:/... or a remote package using http://.... If doing so, do omit the use of packageId. The package will automatically be fetched and installed into the local fhir cache. The local FHIR cache can be mapped into the image (when using Docker)
• loadRecursively: (optional)loadRecursively is by default false - if set to true, all example instances from parent IG's/dependencies recursively are also included in the total transaction bundle.
• docsAndLists: Only look for Bundles and Lists. Useful for Document heavy IG's like https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7-eu/gravitate-health/toc.html
• usePUT: Make the transaction entries as PUT instead of POST.

example

You can run it using eg:

docker run jkiddo/ember --packageId=ch.fhir.ig.ch-core#2.0.0

or with the existing local FHIR cache (Mapping the local FHIR into the image and fetching the package using HTTP ):

docker run -v /Users/jkv/.fhir:/home/nonroot/.fhir jkiddo/ember --location=https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7-eu/gravitate-health/package.tgz

Build

Do docker buildx build --platform=linux/arm64,linux/amd64 . --push -t jkiddo/ember:x.y.z
