Create a package using Simplifier.net

Upload profiles to your Simplifier project

Simplifier makes packages based on the content inside a project and set the dependencies. Therefore, you will need to upload/publish profiles to a Simplifier project. Simplifier has various ways to upload FHIR resources. Here are steps provides for 3 methods.

Forge-Simplifier integration

• In Forge, go to File > Publish to Simplifier or hit Ctrl + U
  • Function greyed out? Make sure you have opened and selected the profile you want to upload in Forge.
• Select your Simplifier project
  • Project not shown? Check that the project is configured based on the same FHIR version as your profile.
• Click save and voila!

Upload through the UI

• Go to your project
• Click on upload -> upload file
• Upload one file or a whole zip file

API

• Go to your project
• Click on API and copy your project's endpoint
• Use your client to POST/PUT your profiles

2. Set package dependencies

Before creating the package we will need to configure the right dependencies. Because we created a derived profile on a profile in acme.base.r4 4.0.1 a dependency to this package is required.

• Go to your project
• Go to Dependencies tab
• Click on the green Manage button
• Search for acme.base.r4
• Select the version 4.0.1 and click add
• Save

3. Create a package

• Go to Package tab
• Click on green Create button and select 'Create new package'
• Fill in all the required metadata (e.g. your package name: have a look at the FHIR NPM specification for name management).
• The Content tab allows for some configuration of the package content. The default settings are good for this exercise.

Please note: packages are forever! Although you can unlist packages, they will remain available even after you deleted your project.

• Hit the green create button.

Enjoy your package! You now saved a version of your profiles in a stable package environment. Ready to be consumed and build upon by others.
