Local Development in PHDI Containers
You will need Python 3.9 or higher as well as a python package manager(we mostly use pip).
Each of our containers has instructions on running locally in their README.md
, and you can run them run using Docker, any other OCI container runtime (e.g., Podman), or directly from the Python source code.
Most packages in this repo use Docker containers for development to keep the various requirements isolated in the container they're imported for without impacting other code or virtual environments. Confirm that you have Docker installed by running docker -v
. If you don't see a response similar to what's shown below, follow these instructions to install Docker.
❯ docker -v
Docker version 20.10.21, build baeda1f
You can also run containers from the source code using any virtual environment manager you like, but a number of team members use pyenv-virtualenv. One of the nice features of virtualenv
is that you can set a different virtual environment per directory (i.e. fhir-converter/
, validation/
, etc), and when you leave that directory the virtualenv automatically deactivates.
cd containers/$service
pyenv virtualenv $virtual-environment-name
pyenv local $virtual-environment-name
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --reload
cd containers
pyenv virtualenvs
#lists virtual environments
pyenv deactivate $virtual-environment-name
pyenv virtualenv-delete $virtual-environment-name
You might also need to manually delete the .python-version
file in your container directory.
There isn't a way to "run" the SDK aside from unit tests. See Testing the SDK Locally.
The team uses Black and Flake8 for Python formatting.
These formatters run as a PR check in Github, but for your convenience you can run them as a pre-commit hook.
To set up the pre-commit hook (only needs to be run once, in the repo):
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
Our pre-commit-config will now run each time you attempt a git commit
. If there are failures, you'll need to address these and re-commit.
To bypass the commit hook, run with --no-verify
: git commit -am "some very important change" --no-verify
For more information, see the pre-commit docs.
