FHIR Resource Builder
This feature is used on the FHIR Sender, FHIR Transformer Step Type, and FHIR Code Template Type. It provides an easy, graphically driven way to create or learn about the structure of FHIR resources or data types.

To the right of each property name are the options you have available to populate the property. The options will vary depending on the type of property. For example, the following JSON value types typically only have a single text field: String Boolean Number Integer Null You can enter in hard-coded values as shown in the screenshot above. Or, depending on the context you can provide dynamic variable replacement. FHIR Sender When using the resource builder on a FHIR Sender, you can use Velocity variable replacements such as ${varName}. You can also drag-and-drop variables over from the right-hand-side Destination Mappings list. FHIR Transformer Step / Code Template When using the resource builder on a FHIR Transformer Step Type or FHIR Transformer Step Type, any JavaScript expression is valid. For String values, you can also choose to enter a hard-coded literal value. Next to each String value field, there is a button you can use to toggle between these two modes: Parent topic: FHIR RePopulating Values

When a property value is the type Object, you will be able to choose from Object Builder or Variable. If you want to use a hard-coded value or dynamically replaced variable, choose Variable. When Object Builder is selected, the property will be expanded into a sub-tree that shows all of the sub-properties. From there you can select or deselect sub-properties as you see fit.

At the top of the builder is the top-level object being created. For example, if you are creating a Patient with the FHIR Sender, the top-level object will be a Patient: Each object in the tree may have properties underneath it. These are indented and have check boxes next to them. Select or deselect the check boxes to include or exclude properties: Parent topic: FHIR Resource BuilderOverview

When a property value is the type Array, you will be able to choose from Array Builder or Variable. If you want to use a hard-coded value or dynamically replaced variable, choose Variable. When Array Builder is selected, a plus icon will be enabled, allowing you to add new elements to the array. Each element will have a minus icon that you can use to remove that specific element.

This transformer step uses the FHIR Resource Builder to create a new FHIR resource or data type. Once created, you can store the object in a map (such as the channel map) or as a variable local to the transformer, to use in a subsequent step. In the upper-right, double-click the drop-down menu in the Type column to switch to a FHIR Resource Builder. The following settings panel shows up: With FHIR Version, you can choose which version of FHIR to use to create this resource. With the Store As option, you can choose to store the resource as a local variable or in a variable map. With Local Variable, the finished JavaScript Object will be set to a variable local to the transformer. You can use that variable in subsequent transformer steps, but not outside the transformer. With Map Variable, the finished object will be converted into a JSON string and stored in the variable map of your choice.FHIR Transformer Step Type

This code template type uses the FHIR Resource Builder to create a new FHIR resource or data type. The FHIR Version option determines which version of FHIR to use when creating this resource. Once created, you can store the object in a map (such as the channel map) or return the object directly from the function itself. This code template creates a JavaScript function. You can edit the name of the function and the arguments it takes in with the Function Signature field. For example, you could rename the function "createPatient" and have it expect a single argument, "msg". After adding or removing arguments, click on Update JSDoc and the JSDoc field below will automatically have those new arguments added into the documentation. You can then edit it to give your own argument descriptions. With the Result option, you can choose to store the resource in a variable map, or return it directly to the caller of the JavaScript function.
