    • cloneInto

      public IBase cloneInto(IBase theSource, IBase theTarget, boolean theIgnoreMissingFields)
      Clones all values from a source object into the equivalent fields in a target object
      Parameters:
      theSource - The source object (must not be null)
      theTarget - The target object to copy values into (must not be null)
      theIgnoreMissingFields - The ignore fields in the target which do not exist (if false, an exception will be thrown if the target is unable to accept a value from the source)
      Returns:
      Returns the target (which will be the same object that was passed into theTarget) for easy chaining

    • getAllPopulatedChildElementsOfType

      public <T extends IBase> List<T> getAllPopulatedChildElementsOfType(IBaseResource theResource, Class<T> theType)
      Returns a list containing all child elements (including the resource itself) which are non-empty and are either of the exact type specified, or are a subclass of that type.

      For example, specifying a type of StringDt would return all non-empty string instances within the message. Specifying a type of IResource would return the resource itself, as well as any contained resources.

      Note on scope: This method will descend into any contained resources (IResource.getContained()) as well, but will not descend into linked resources (e.g. BaseResourceReferenceDt.getResource()) or embedded resources (e.g. Bundle.entry.resource)

      Parameters:
      theResource - The resource instance to search. Must not be null.
      theType - The type to search for. Must not be null.
      Returns:
      Returns a list of all matching elements

    • getAllResourceReferencesExcluding

      public List<ResourceReferenceInfo> getAllResourceReferencesExcluding(IBaseResource theResource, List<String> thePathsToExclude)

      Parameters:
      theResource - the resource to be analyzed
      thePathsToExclude - a list of dot-delimited paths not to include in the result
      Returns:
      a list of references to other resources

      Examples include resources found within Bundle.entry.resource and Parameters.parameter.resource, as well as contained resources found within Resource.contained

      Parameters:
      theRecurse - Should embedded resources be recursively scanned for further embedded resources
      Returns:
      A collection containing the embedded resources. Order is arbitrary.

    • clear

      public FhirTerser.ContainedResources containResources(IBaseResource theResource, FhirTerser.ContainedResources theParentContainedResources, boolean theStoreResults)
      Iterate through the whole resource and identify any contained resources. Optionally this method can also assign IDs and modify references where the resource link has been specified but not the reference text.
      Since:
      5.4.0

    • addElement

      @Nonnull public <T extends IBase> T addElement(@Nonnull IBase theTarget, @Nonnull String thePath)
      Adds and returns a new element at the given path within the given structure. The paths used here are not FHIRPath expressions but instead just simple dot-separated path expressions.

      Only the last entry in the path is always created, existing repetitions of elements before the final dot are returned if they exists (although they are created if they do not). For example, given the path Patient.name.given, a new repetition of given is always added to the first (index 0) repetition of the name. If an index-0 repetition of name already exists, it is added to. If one does not exist, it if created and then added to.

      If the last element in the path refers to a non-repeatable element that is already present and is not empty, a DataFormatException error will be thrown.

      Parameters:
      theTarget - The element to add to. This will often be a resource instance, but does not need to be.
      thePath - The path.
      Returns:
      The newly added element
      Throws:
      DataFormatException - If the path is invalid or does not end with either a repeatable element, or an element that is non-repeatable but not already populated.

    • addElement

      @Nonnull public <T extends IBase> T addElement(@Nonnull IBase theTarget, @Nonnull String thePath, @Nullable String theValue)
      Adds and returns a new element at the given path within the given structure. The paths used here are not FHIRPath expressions but instead just simple dot-separated path expressions.

      This method follows all of the same semantics as addElement(IBase, String) but it requires the path to point to an element with a primitive datatype and set the value of the datatype to the given value.

      Parameters:
      theTarget - The element to add to. This will often be a resource instance, but does not need to be.
      thePath - The path.
      theValue - The value to set, or null.
      Returns:
      The newly added element
      Throws:
      DataFormatException - If the path is invalid or does not end with either a repeatable element, or an element that is non-repeatable but not already populated.

    • setElement

      @Nonnull public <T extends IBase> T setElement(@Nonnull IBase theTarget, @Nonnull String thePath, @Nullable String theValue)
      Adds and returns a new element at the given path within the given structure. The paths used here are not FHIRPath expressions but instead just simple dot-separated path expressions.

      This method follows all of the same semantics as addElement(IBase, String) but it requires the path to point to an element with a primitive datatype and set the value of the datatype to the given value.

      Parameters:
      theTarget - The element to add to. This will often be a resource instance, but does not need to be.
      thePath - The path.
      theValue - The value to set, or null.
      Returns:
      The newly added element
      Throws:
      DataFormatException - If the path is invalid or does not end with either a repeatable element, or an element that is non-repeatable but not already populated.

    • addElements

      public void addElements(IBase theTarget, String thePath, Collection<String> theValues)
      This method has the same semantics as addElement(IBase, String, String) but adds a collection of primitives instead of a single one.
      Parameters:
      theTarget - The element to add to. This will often be a resource instance, but does not need to be.
      thePath - The path.
      theValues - The values to set, or null.

    • clone

      public <T extends IBaseResource> T clone(T theSource)
      Clones a resource object, copying all data elements from theSource into a new copy of the same type.

      Note that:

      • Only FHIR data elements are copied (i.e. user data maps are not copied)
      • If a class extending a HAPI FHIR type (e.g. an instance of a class extending the Patient class) is supplied, an instance of the base type will be returned.
      Parameters:
      theSource - The source resource
      Returns:
      A copy of the source resource
