FHIR IG NPM Profile

FHIR IG Profile for package.json

All FHIR Implementation Guides include a file package.json which links the FHIR packages into the NPM package management system.

npm assumes unique package names.... we have no framework for that....?

Rules for package.json:

• Names always have a scope.
• Scope is "fhir"
• names are issued by FMG (contact the FHIR Product Director)
  • name will be based on ImplementationGuide.name, but will be different for uniqueness reasons
• version must be populated, and must match the ImplementationGuide.version field
• description should include ImplementationGuide.title and ImplementationGuide.description
• license is required
• recommend to fill out homepage, bugs, author (matching ImplementationGuide.contact), repository
• files should include validation.pack.
  • todo: what other files...?
• dependencies:
  • must include at least the base FHIR spec ("fhir") with version
  • must include names and versions for all IG dependencies
