This project provides HL7 FHIR models and a generic FHIR server implemented in Go. The FHIR server uses MongoDB as storage and contains a small extension of the Reference model in order to more readily support queries in MongoDB.

This project currently uses Go 1.4.2 and is built using the Go toolchain.

To install Go, follow the instructions found at the Go Website.

Following standard Go practices, you should clone this project to:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/intervention-engine/fhir

To get all of the dependencies for this project, run:

go get

in this directory.

To run all of the tests for this project, run:

go test ./...

in this directory.

This project also requires MongoDB 3.0.* or higher. To install MongoDB, refer to the MongoDB installation guide.

To start the server, simply run server.go:

go run server.go

Because this project is a generic FHIR server, it only supports simple CRUD methods for FHIR resources as-is. In order to provide extensibility, the FHIRServer type has a method called AddMiddleware that can be called as follows:

s := server.NewServer("localhost")
s.AddMiddleware(negroni.HandlerFunc(MyHandler))

where MyHandler is the middleware function that you want to add.
