Project Title

This is a very simple HL7 parser that breaks a message into an array of segments, and breaks a segment into an array of fields based on the field seperator. This parser does not have logic for segment relationships based on nesting/location. To handle that with this parser you will have to iterate over the array of segments and process the segments based on their location.

Getting Started

npm install parsehl7

Prerequisites

None.

Installing

npm install parsehl7 --save

And coding style tests

To get the segments from a message:

const segments = parser.parseMessageIntoSegments(message);

To get fields from a segment:

const mshFields = parser.findSegmentByName(segments, 'MSH');

Contributing

I built this for use in some basic conversions and field manipulation I needed to do. If you feel you would like to contribute and improve, feel free to do so.
