FHIR R4 Validator Module

Sample Usage

01. Validate against FHIR base resource model

In this approach user just need to provide only the FHIR resource payload. Based on the resource type, validator will validate against to it's base profile model.

import ballerina/io;
import ballerinax/health.fhir.r4;
import ballerinax/health.fhir.r4.validator;

public function main() returns error? {

    json body = {
      "resourceType": "Patient",
      "id": "591841",
      "meta": {
        "versionId": "1",
        "lastUpdated": "2020-01-22T05:30:13.137+00:00",
        "source": "#KO38Q3spgrJoP5fa"
      },
      "identifier": [ {
        "type": {
          "coding": [ {
            "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203",
            "code": "MR"
          } ]
        },
        "value": "18e5fd39-7444-4b30-91d4-57226deb2c78"
      } ],
      "name": [ {
        "family": "Cushing",
        "given": [ "Caleb" ]
      } ],
      "birthDate": "jdlksjldjl"
    };


    r4:FHIRValidationError? validateFHIRResourceJson = validator:validate(body);

    if validateFHIRResourceJson is r4:FHIRValidationError {
        io:print(validateFHIRResourceJson);
    }
}

Note: validate function returns FHIRValidationError when validation fails.

02. Validate againts given FHIR profile resource model

In this approach the validator will attempt to validate the given FHIR resource payload against given resource type

import ballerina/io;
import ballerinax/health.fhir.r4;
import ballerinax/health.fhir.r4.international401;
import ballerinax/health.fhir.r4.validator;

public function main() returns error? {

    json body = {
      "resourceType": "Patient",
      "id": "591841",
      "meta": {
        "versionId": "1",
        "lastUpdated": "2020-01-22T05:30:13.137+00:00",
        "source": "#KO38Q3spgrJoP5fa"
      },
      "identifier": [ {
        "type": {
          "coding": [ {
            "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203",
            "code": "MR"
          } ]
        },
        "value": "18e5fd39-7444-4b30-91d4-57226deb2c78"
      } ],
      "name": [ {
        "family": "Cushing",
        "given": [ "Caleb" ]
      } ],
      "birthDate": "jdlksjldjl"
    };


    r4:FHIRValidationError? validateFHIRResourceJson = validator:validate(body, international401:Patient);

    if validateFHIRResourceJson is r4:FHIRValidationError {
        io:print(validateFHIRResourceJson);
    }
}

Note: validate function returns FHIRValidationError when validation fails.
