Medplum JS Client Library

The Medplum JS Client Library is a pure TypeScript library for calling a FHIR server from the browser.

Key Features

• FHIR validation and operations
• FHIR client to create, read, update, delete, patch, and search
• WebSockets for realtime communication
• Evaluation of FhirPath
• No external dependencies

Installation

Add as a dependency:

npm install @medplum/core

Basic Usage

Create a new MedplumClient:

import { MedplumClient } from '@medplum/core';

const medplum = new MedplumClient();

Create a MedplumClient with additional configuration options:

import { MedplumClient } from '@medplum/core';

const medplum = new MedplumClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://www.example.com/fhir/R4/',
  clientId: 'MY_CLIENT_ID',
});

Authenticate with client credentials

const medplum = new MedplumClient();
await medplum.startClientLogin(MY_CLIENT_ID, MY_CLIENT_SECRET);

Authenticating with Medplum

If you are using Medplum as your FHIR server, you can use a direct sign-in API to authenticate email and password.

Before you begin

1. Create a project in the Medplum App
2. Enable Email/Password

After that, you can use the startLogin() method:

const loginResult = await medplum.startLogin({ email, password, remember });
const profile = await medplum.processCode(loginResult.code);
console.log(profile);

Authenticating with OAuth

Authenticate with a FHIR server via OAuth2 redirect:

medplum.signInWithRedirect().then((user) => console.log(user));

Search

Search for any resource using a FHIR search string:

search<K extends ResourceType>(
  resourceType: K,
  query?: URLSearchParams | string,
  options: RequestInit = {}
): ReadablePromise<Bundle<ExtractResource<K>>>

Example:

const bundle = await medplum.search('Patient', 'given=eve');
bundle.entry.forEach((entry) => console.log(entry.resource));

Create

Create resource:

createResource<T extends Resource>(resource: T): Promise<T>

Example:

medplum.createResource({
  resourceType: 'Observation',
  subject: {
    reference: 'Patient/123',
  },
  valueQuantity: {
    // ...
  },
  // ...
});

Read a resource

Read a resource by ID:

readResource<T extends Resource>(resourceType: string, id: string): Promise<T>

Example:

const patient = await medplum.readResource('Patient', '123');

Read resource history

Read resource history:

readHistory<T extends Resource>(resourceType: string, id: string): Promise<Bundle<T>>

Example:

const historyBundle = await medplum.readHistory('Patient', '123');

Read resource version

Read a specific version:

readVersion<T extends Resource>(resourceType: string, id: string, vid: string): Promise<T>

Example:

const version = await medplum.readVersion('Patient', '123', '456');

Update a resource

Update a resource:

updateResource<T extends Resource>(resource: T): Promise<T>

Example:

const result = await medplum.updateResource({
  resourceType: 'Patient',
  id: '123',
  name: [
    {
      family: 'Smith',
      given: ['John'],
    },
  ],
});
console.log(result.meta.versionId);

Delete a resource

Delete a resource:

deleteResource(resourceType: string, id: string): Promise<any>

Example:

await medplum.deleteResource('Patient', '123');

Patch a resource

Patch a resource:

patchResource<T extends Resource>(resourceType: string, id: string, operations: Operation[]): Promise<T>

Example:

const result = await medplum.patchResource('Patient', '123', [
  { op: 'replace', path: '/name/0/family', value: 'Smith' },
]);
console.log(result.meta.versionId);

GraphQL

Execute a GraphQL query:

graphql(query: string, options?: RequestInit): Promise<any>

Example:

const result = await graphql(`
  {
    PatientList(name: "Alice") {
      name {
        given
        family
      }
    }
  }
`);
