A Custom package

Good to know.

What is additional in this project ?

Cares on platform is a custom package and has exactly the same structure as any other package in the Platform (A swarm script, a package-metadata.json file, and docker-compose file).

The deploy bash script that will launch the project is in reality going to launch Platform and additionally informing the platform that it should run the cares-on-platform package with its dependencies:

// deploy-local.sh script
./platform-linux "$1" -c="../cares-on-platform" --dev --env-file="./.env.local" cares-on-platform

More reading about the platform CLI is this link: Instant OpenHIE v2.

Cares on platform will need the packages mentioned in the package-metadata.json, in the depedencies section:

package-metadata.json file of cares-on-platform

Each package mentioned above will have dependencies as well.

Running the cares on platform will result on running these packages as well as the dependencies of these packages.

Another example from Platform:

package-metadata.json of dashboard-visualiser-superset in Platform

1. analytics-datastore-clickhouse

2. dashboard-visualiser-superset

3. cares-on-platform

NOTE: cares-on-platform package will be running last.
