This is a fork of the mllp project with the simple addition of an Express HTTP listner to forward requests to an MLLP endpoint for HL7 v2.x messaging. Ideally this would use the Serverless framework to deploy to AWS Lambda but currently Lambda only supports HTTP.
This gateway can be used with hapi-serverless to send and receive HL7 v2.x messages in JSON from a serverless microservices architecture.
A simple MLLP HL7 V2.x ACK response server is available for testing, more information here.
Changes from the original mllp project:
| Path | Description |
|---|---|
./gateway.js |
Express HTTP server and request forwarder |
./test/gateway-functional |
Simple functional test using bash script with curl and diff er7 file |
index.js |
//.split('\r')[1] is commented-out to return the full message |
When a HTTP POST request is received containing a Forward-To header the body is sent to the header value address using MLLPServer().send(). The HTTP response contains 2 values in JSON format:
er7- used for the response received from the MLLP senderror- null or error message
