Topic: Web front end from FHIR validator?
Tim Berezny (Apr 27 2021 at 16:04):
Are there any web front end implementations of the FHIR validator ( rather than command line)?
Chris Moesel (Apr 27 2021 at 16:08):
Yes. Inferno has a nice one: https://inferno.healthit.gov/validator/
Tim Berezny (Apr 27 2021 at 16:12):
Very cool. Does this use the same validation engine as hl7.org/fhir/validator?
Tim Berezny (Apr 27 2021 at 16:13):
And, how would we get an implementation guide added to the dropdown on "Pick an Implementation Guide to validate against"
John Moehrke (Apr 27 2021 at 16:15):
Clin FHIR http://clinfhir.com/ also has a web UI to the validator - @David Hay can guide
Stephen MacVicar (Apr 27 2021 at 17:24):
Under advanced options, you can upload an IG.
David Hay (Apr 27 2021 at 17:36):
yep. The validator is at http://clinfhir.com/validateResource.html (theres a link from clinfhir.com as well). You paste in the resource and it sends it to one of more servers using the $validate operation...
Chris Moesel (Apr 27 2021 at 19:23):
I didn't realize ClinFHIR had a web-based validator too. Very cool, @David Hay!
@Tim Berezny -- the Inferno one uses the FHIR validator wrapper -- which uses the org.hl7.fhir.validation jar -- which it says is the same as the IG Publisher uses.
As for how it populates the list of IGs to validate against, I think it pulls them from the FHIR registry (?) but I'm not sure. @Reece Adamson? @Michael O'Keefe?
Michael O'Keefe (Apr 27 2021 at 19:29):
Yes, the Inferno validator frontend uses the FHIR Package Registry to find/load IGs. The list is also populated with IGs uploaded by users as well
Michael O'Keefe (Apr 27 2021 at 19:30):
You can do that in the "advanced options" tab, if you have a package.tgz
Chris Moesel (Apr 27 2021 at 19:31):
@Michael O'Keefe -- so if you upload a package, it is "sticky" and globally available to all users?
Michael O'Keefe (Apr 27 2021 at 19:31):
It's "sticky" until we restart the wrapper :laughing:

http://validator.fhir.org is about to come online
