Before installing, download and install Python 3 and Pip, a Python package manager.
(Recommended) Then install virtualenv.
Receives messages from: ehr-integration (install). Sends messages to: fhir-server (install).
Clone this repository:
git clone git@github.com:kclconsult/ehr-fhir-converter.git
Change into the directory:
cd ehr-fhir-converter/src
Initialise a virtual environment, and activate:
virtualenv -p python3 env
. env/bin/activate
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Clone the FHIR parser repository:
git clone git@github.com:smart-on-fhir/fhir-parser.git src/main/python/fhir-parser
Copy configuration scripts into the directory:
cp src/main/python/mappings.py src/main/python/fhir-parser/
cp src/main/python/settings.py src/main/python/fhir-parser/
Install parser requirements:
cd src/main/python/fhir-parser/
pip install -r requirements.txt
Generate FHIR Python classes:
touch Default/__init__.py
python generate.py
Move generated classes into project:
cd ../
mv models/ models_full/
touch models_full/__init__.py
Automated through fhir-parser.sh.
Clone the FHIR client repository.
git clone git@github.com:smart-on-fhir/client-py.git src/main/python/client-py
Copy FHIR classes into project:
cd src/main/python/
cp -r client-py/fhirclient/models/ models_full/
Run as follows:
python listen.py
The app runs by default on port 3004.
Run setup tools from the root directory:
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
Given a certain release, either available in dist/ if built, or via Github, install as follows:
python setup.py install
View.
python setup.py test
Deployment is via Docker, and includes containers for this application and an optional message queue.
Specify the address of the FHIR server and credentials in docker-compose. If a hostname, reference its corresponding certificate. Also specify the address of the hostname if unlikely to be present in the DNS.
Build these containers:
docker-compose build
Run these containers:
docker-compose up -d
(Optional) Run without queue:
docker-compose up --scale webapp-queue=0 rabbit=0
Different docker-compose files exist to accommodate different service configurations.
