import {
  mllpSource,
  aidboxSender,
  hl7v2Parser,
  ccdaParser,
} from "@health-samurai/interbox/builtins";

Typed handles for the engine's built-in stages, grouped by kind. A pipeline references these by value; each stage's config is co-located with its descriptor. The engine owns the implementations and resolves them by type at runtime — see Stages.

mllpSource — MLLP TCP listener source

interface MllpSourceConfig {
  host?: Str;
  port: Num;
}

const mllpSource: SourceDescriptor<"mllp", MllpSourceConfig>;
mllpSource({
  id: "mllp-default",
  port: env("MLLP_PORT"),
  parser: hl7v2Parser({ skipZSegments: false }),
});

ccdaParser — C-CDA document parser

interface CcdaParserConfig {}   // no options yet

Parses an HL7 C-CDA XML document into a typed clinical document and lands it in ccda_in. Unlike HL7v2, one payload is one document — nothing is split.

ccdaParser()

Mapping to FHIR is yours to write. @health-samurai/interbox/ccda exports toFhirBundle, which turns the parsed document into a FHIR R4 Bundle:

import { toFhirBundle } from "@health-samurai/interbox/ccda";

defineMapper({
  parser: ccdaParser,
  map: (doc) => (toFhirBundle(doc).entry ?? []).map((e) => e.resource),
});

The bundle links its entries with urn:uuid: references. If your destination expects Type/id references, rewrite them in the mapper — entry.fullUrl carries the urn:uuid: that the other entries point at, and every resource has an id.

Derive your own resource ids. The bundle's ids are fresh UUIDs per conversion, so converting the same document twice produces two unrelated sets of resources — a retry or a resent correction then duplicates every patient at the destination. Key each resource on something stable (its first identifier, else its position), hash that together with the document's own id, and build the reference map over the ids you derived:

const docId = doc.id?.extension ?? doc.id?.root ?? "unknown-document";
const key = resource.identifier?.[0]?.value ?? `#${index}`;
const id = hash(`${docId}|${resource.resourceType}|${key}`);

Same document in, same ids out, so a re-send overwrites its own resources.

A document is rejected before parsing when its root element is not ClinicalDocument. Namespace-prefixed documents (<cda:ClinicalDocument>) are not supported and are rejected with the error kind prefixed_ccda; the usual default-namespace form (xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3") is what to send.

aidboxSender — Aidbox FHIR sender

type AidboxAuth =
  | { kind: "basic"; user: Str; password: Str }
  | { kind: "bearer"; token: Str };

interface AidboxSenderConfig {
  url: Str;
  auth: AidboxAuth;
  batchSize?: number;  // max rows claimed per loop
  // consecutive transient failures to retry before the batch is recorded errored
  maxRetries?: number;
}

const aidboxSender: SenderDescriptor<"aidbox", AidboxSenderConfig>;
aidboxSender({
  url: env("AIDBOX_URL"),
  auth: { kind: "basic", user: env("AIDBOX_CLIENT_ID", "root"), password: env("AIDBOX_CLIENT_SECRET") },
});

hl7v2Parser — HL7v2 parser

interface Hl7v2ParserConfig {
  skipZSegments?: boolean;
}

const hl7v2Parser: ParserDescriptor<"hl7v2", Hl7v2ParserConfig>;
hl7v2Parser();                          // config optional, defaults to {}
hl7v2Parser({ skipZSegments: true });

Bound to a source's parser field — see Pipelines for how a source's parser type propagates to which mappers can attach to it.
