Parser was generated with antlr4

Getting started

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/beda-software/fhirpath-py.git

Usage

from fhirpathpy import evaluate

patient = {
  "resourceType": "Patient",
  "id": "example",
  "name": [
    {
      "use": "official",
      "given": [
        "Peter",
        "James"
      ],
      "family": "Chalmers"
    },
    {
      "use": "usual",
      "given": [
        "Jim"
      ]
    },
    {
      "use": "maiden",
      "given": [
        "Peter",
        "James"
      ],
      "family": "Windsor",
      "period": {
        "end": "2002"
      }
    }
  ]
}

# Evaluating FHIRPath
result = evaluate(patient, "Patient.name.where(use='usual').given.first()", [])
# result: `['Jim']`

evaluate

Evaluates the "path" FHIRPath expression on the given resource, using data from "context" for variables mentioned in the "path" expression. Parameters: resource (dict|list): FHIR resource, bundle as js object or array of resources This resource will be modified by this function to add type information. path (string): fhirpath expression, sample 'Patient.name.given' context (dict): a hash of variable name/value pairs. model (dict): The "model" data object specific to a domain, e.g. R4. Returns: int: Description of return value

compile

Returns a function that takes a resource and an optional context hash (see "evaluate"), and returns the result of evaluating the given FHIRPath expression on that resource. The advantage of this function over "evaluate" is that if you have multiple resources, the given FHIRPath expression will only be parsed once. Parameters: path (string) - the FHIRPath expression to be parsed. model (dict) - The "model" data object specific to a domain, e.g. R4.
