Detailed Description

Create a FHIR search from NoSQL-like query structures.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

fhirclient.models.fhirsearch.FHIRSearch.__init__	(		self,
			resource_type,
			struct = None
	)

Member Function Documentation

construct()

fhirclient.models.fhirsearch.FHIRSearch.construct

(

self

)

Constructs the URL with query string from the receiver's params.

include()

fhirclient.models.fhirsearch.FHIRSearch.include	(		self,
			reference_field,
			reference_model = None,
			reverse = False
	)

Add a resource to be included in the search results.

Includes will fetch additional resources referred to by the search results, or additional resources which themselves refer to the search results (reverse include). Recursive or iterative includes are not supported. Provides a fluent interface to allow method chaining.

To include Patient resources when searching Observations: ‘s = FHIRSearch(Observation).include('subject’) To include Observation resources when searching Patients: s = FHIRSearch(Patient).include('subject', Observation, reverse=True)`

Parameters

reference_field	The name of the search parameter (must be FHIRReference type)
reference_model	The type of the source resource from which the join comes (only used for reverse includes)
reverse	Whether this is a reverse include

Returns

s This FHIRSearch instance

perform()

fhirclient.models.fhirsearch.FHIRSearch.perform	(		self,
			server
	)

Construct the search URL and execute it against the given server.

Parameters

server

The server against which to perform the search

Returns

s A Bundle resource

perform_resources()

fhirclient.models.fhirsearch.FHIRSearch.perform_resources	(		self,
			server
	)

Performs the search by calling perform, then extracts all Bundle entries and returns a list of Resource instances.

Parameters

server

The server against which to perform the search

Returns

s A list of Resource instances
