FHIR to CSV Conversion

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to convert FHIR resources to CSV format. This is achieved using various extractors and converters present in the codebase.

Overview of Extractors and Converters

The project includes several extractors and converters for different FHIR resources. Each extractor is responsible for extracting relevant data from a specific FHIR resource, and each converter is responsible for converting the extracted data to CSV format.

Usage Instructions

To convert FHIR resources to CSV, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the FHIRBundleConverter class.
2. Use the convertToDictionaries method to extract data from a FHIR bundle.
3. Use the convertToCSV method to convert the extracted data to CSV format.

Code Examples

Here are some code examples demonstrating how to use the extractors and converters to convert FHIR resources to CSV:

import { FHIRBundleConverter } from './src/converters/fhir_bundle_converter';
import { TBundle } from './src/types/resources/Bundle';

// Create an instance of the FHIRBundleConverter
const converter = new FHIRBundleConverter();

// Assume we have a FHIR bundle
const bundle: TBundle = {
  resourceType: 'Bundle',
  type: 'collection',
  entry: [
    {
      resource: {
        resourceType: 'Patient',
        id: 'example',
        // other patient data
      },
    },
    // other resources
  ],
};

// Extract data from the FHIR bundle
const extractedData = converter.convertToDictionaries(bundle);

// Convert the extracted data to CSV format
const csvData = converter.convertToCSV(extractedData);

// Output the CSV data
console.log(csvData);

Usage Instructions for Pure JavaScript Projects

To use this package in a pure JavaScript project, follow these steps:

1. Install the package using npm or yarn.
2. Import the FHIRBundleConverter class using require.
3. Use the convertToDictionaries method to extract data from a FHIR bundle.
4. Use the convertToCSV method to convert the extracted data to CSV format.

Code Examples for Pure JavaScript Projects

Here are some code examples demonstrating how to use the extractors and converters to convert FHIR resources to CSV in a pure JavaScript project:

const { FHIRBundleConverter } = require('fhir-to-csv');

// Create an instance of the FHIRBundleConverter
const converter = new FHIRBundleConverter();

// Assume we have a FHIR bundle
const bundle = {
  resourceType: 'Bundle',
  type: 'collection',
  entry: [
    {
      resource: {
        resourceType: 'Patient',
        id: 'example',
        // other patient data
      },
    },
    // other resources
  ],
};

// Extract data from the FHIR bundle
converter.convertToDictionaries(bundle).then(extractedData => {
  // Convert the extracted data to CSV format
  converter.convertToCSV(extractedData).then(csvData => {
    // Output the CSV data
    console.log(csvData);
  });
});

Note on Dependency Installation

After adding this package to your project, ensure that you install the required dependencies by running npm install or yarn install.
