Custom Exporters

[dehall]

This is a proof of concept for supporting drop-in custom exporters.

This approach takes advantage of the Java ServiceLoader to load in JARs containing classes that implement a certain interface. I've defined two interfaces here, PatientExporter and PostCompletionExporter. (The existing exporters weren't modified here but they could easily extend these interfaces as well)

A template for building a custom exporter is here: https://github.com/dehall/custom-exporter-template

And an example Postgres loader which loads Patient basic info and Conditions into simple tables: https://github.com/dehall/example-exporter-postgres

(Documentation is limited on those new repos, apologies)

Note this has not yet been tested with the uberJar, but I believe it should be possible to get it working. I suspect instead of java -jar synthea-with-dependencies.jar though you will have to run something along the lines of java -cp synthea-with-dependencies.jar:new-exporter.jar App

The following command line works for the uberJar:

java -cp lib/custom/my-custom-exporter.jar -jar build/libs/synthea-with-dependencies.jar -p 1
