About The Project

This project provides helpers that allow usage of FHIR objects within D4L without knowledge about every detail and variation that is possible working with FHIR objects.

As of now there is no shared common implementation due to the missing FHIR multiplatform SDK. Therefore the sources are basically 1:1 in androidMain and jvmMain.

Features

• Builders to easily construct FHIR objects

• Kotlin Extensions that simplify FHIR object manipulation

Built With

• Kotlin Multiplatform

Getting Started

Requirements

• Java 11 | Limitations of Java language features and APIs | Desugaring

• Kotlin 1.7.10

• Android 6.0 (API 23) to Android 13.0 (API 33)

Installation

Add the following maven repository url to your root build.gradle.kts:

Please take a look over at Github aboout-github-packages#tokens on how to generate your private token for accessing the Github Package Registry. Add gpr.user = {your Github username} and gpr.key = {private github access token} to your gradle.properties

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven {
            url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/d4l-data4life/hc-fhir-helper-sdk-kmp")
            credentials {
                username = project.findProperty("gpr.user") as String? ?: System.getenv("PACKAGE_REGISTRY_USERNAME")
                password = project.findProperty("gpr.key") as String? ?: System.getenv("PACKAGE_REGISTRY_TOKEN")
            }
        }
    }
}

Your GitHub username and token needs to be stored in your global Gradle properties: ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

NOTICE

You need to have read access to this repository and generate a personal access token with repo, write:packages and read:packages scope.

gpr.user=github-username
gpr.key=github-token
