InputFormat Property

The format of the input data.

Syntax

 hl7translator.getInputFormat([callback])
 hl7translator.setInputFormat( inputFormat, [callback])

Possible Values

  0 (hifXML), 
  1 (hifJSON), 
  6 (hifHL7)

Default Value

6

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getInputFormat([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setInputFormat([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property specifies the format of the input data. The value set here, along with OutputFormat, determines how the data is converted when Translate is called.

Possible values are:

  • 0 (ifXML)
  • 1 (ifJSON)
  • 6 (ifHL7)
Before calling Translate, both InputFormat and OutputFormat must be specified. Translation from XML or JSON to EDI and vice versa are supported. If InputFormat is ifXML or ifJSON, OutputFormat must be an EDI format. Similarly, if InputFormat is an EDI format, OutputFormat must be ofXML or ofJSON.

This property is not available at design time.
