Code Template Library Table

The table in the top section of the Edit Code Templates View shows all currently configured code templates and libraries. The name column is displayed as a tree, showing libraries at the hierarchical top level, and all child code templates at a lower level. The filter field at the bottom allows you to easily filter down to a particular code template or library by typing in all or part of the name. The status label to the left of the filter displays how many total code templates / libraries are configured, and how many are currently shown with the given filter. For additional information on tables in Mirth® Connect, see Mirth Connect Administrator. Image of the Code Templates library table Column Description Name The name of the code template or library. This column displays as a tree, showing libraries at the hierarchical top level, and all child code templates at a lower level. Double-click on this column to edit the name. Id The unique identifier for the code template or library. Typ

Code Template Tasks

The following context-specific tasks are available throughout the Edit Code Templates View: Task Icon Task Name Description Refresh Refreshes the list of code templates / libraries. If there are unsaved changes, you are prompted to save first before refreshing. Save Changes Saves all changes made to all code templates / libraries. Changes to a code template will cause its revision to increment. Changes to a library, or adding/removing code templates to/from the library, will cause its revision to increment. New Code Template Creates a new code template in the currently selected library. If there are currently no libraries configured for your server, you must first create a new library before this task becomes available. New Library Creates a new code template library and adds it to the table. By default the library is not included in any channels. Use the Channels table in the Edit Library Panel to link the library to specific channels. Import Code Templates Import a single code templa

Edit Code Template Panel

When any code template is selected in the table above, the Edit Code Template panel is shown below. This allows you to change which library it belongs to, the type of template, which contexts to include the code in, and the actual code. Item Name Description A Library The library that the current code template belongs to. B Type The type of code template to create. Function: The template will be compiled in with scripts, and the drag-and-drop will include the function signature. Drag-and-Drop Code Block: The template will not be compiled in with scripts, and the drag-and-drop will include the entire code block verbatim (except for the initial documentation block). Use this option for snippets of boilerplate code you can drag into JavaScript scripts. Compiled Code Block: The template will be compiled in with scripts, but drag-and-drop will not be available at all. Use this to declare initial variables or anything else you want to have executed at the beginning of your scripts. C Code Th

Link Libraries to Channels

In order to use code templates within channels, the library must be linked to the channel. This is important because it allows you to "namespace" your code so that the same function name can appear in multiple libraries but serve different purposes. It also allows a degree of isolation, so that a particularly expensive code template need not be included in all channels, but instead only in the channels it needs to be. To edit the links between code template libraries and channels, use the Channels table on the right side of this panel. The [New Channels] check box indicates that the library should be included not only for the currently checked channels, but also on all new channels that get created later. For example if you have a library that you wish to always include on all channels no matter what, check this option. Note that these links are the same as what is configured in the Code Template Libraries dependency tab in the Summary Tab of the Edit Channel View. Parent topic: Edit L

Code Template Libraries

This tab allows you to link code template libraries to the current channel you are editing. Note that this accomplishes the same thing as including channels on the Edit Library Panel within the Edit Code Templates View. It is included here as well within the Edit Channel View for convenience. The tree within this tab is organized in a way that Libraries are the top-level nodes, and each Code Template underneath is a child of that library. Select any library or code template row, and if a description is available, it will show in the bottom section of the dialog. Link Code Template Libraries Parent topic: Set Dependencies Window
