Extracting lists from FHIR Responses

In the above example, the list property holds a %DynamicObject value, not a string literal. Therefore, you can use DAO (Dynamic Access Object) methods to work with it. However, if you're using the latest IRIS version (2023.2 or later), you can also use the apply method to retrieve the family and given fields directly from the %DynamicObject.

Version 2024.1

Write r4Patient.name.list.apply("$[*].family").%ToJSON()
write r4Patient.name.list.apply("$[*].given").%ToJSON()

For older versions that do not support the apply method, you can use traditional JSON access techniques:

/// loop by sizefor i=0:1:r4Patient.name.list.size()-1 {
    Set humanName = r4Patient.name.list.%Get(i)
    Write humanName.family_"  "_humanName.given
}

Using an iterator:

/// By iteratorSet iter = r4Patient.name.list.%GetIterator()
While iter.%GetNext(,.humanName) {
    Write humanName.family_"  "_humanName.given
}

Sample code for the human name testing

ClassMethod FHIRHunmanNameTest()
{
    Set r4Patient = ##class(HS.FHIRModel.R4.Patient).%New()
    ;Set seqHuman = ##class(HS.FHIRModel.R4.SeqOfHumanName).%New()
    Set human = ##class(HS.FHIRModel.R4.HumanName).%New()
    Set human.family="pil"Set human.text="Ashok,kumar";Set human1 = ##class(HS.FHIRModel.R4.HumanName).%New()
    Set human1.family="pil"Set human1.text="Ashok,kumar";; seq stringSet seqString = ##class(HS.FHIRModel.R4.SeqOfString).%New()
    Set seqString.list=["ashok","kumar"]
    ;Set human1.given=seqString
    ;Do seqHuman.add(human.toDao())
    Do seqHuman.add(human1.toDao())
    
    Set r4Patient.name = seqHuman
    
    Set iter = r4Patient.name.list.%GetIterator()
    
    While iter.%GetNext(,.humanName) {
        Write humanName.family_"  "_humanName.given
    }
        
    For i=0:1:r4Patient.name.list.size()-1 {
        Set humanName = r4Patient.name.list.%Get(i)
        Write humanName.family_"  "_humanName.given
    }
    Write r4Patient.name.list.apply("$[*].family").%ToJSON(),!
    Write r4Patient.name.list.apply("$[*].given").%ToJSON()
}
