Intake24-tasks

Interface between Intake24 API and Clinical DB

  • CRON-like node.js service
  • CLI to execute tasks directly

Requirements

Make sure you have latest Node.js LTS and pnpm installed.

MSSQL lib requires ODBC driver headers to be installed:

apt install unixodbc-dev

Install pnpm

pnpm install -g pnpm

Installation

Download local project dependencies

pnpm install

Copy .env-template to .env file.

cp .env-template .env

Edit .env file and set up main configuration variables.

Any additional configuration variables (not extracted as ENV variables) can be found in src/config folder.

Tasks setup

Service executes specific tasks based on provided CRON entry and additional task-specific variables.

Task entries for execution are defined in tasks.json file as an array of simple JSON objects.

Copy tasks-template.json to tasks.json file

cp tasks-template.json tasks.json

Edit tasks.json file and set up task definitions as needed.
