This project is an example project built on @asymmetrik/node-fhir-server-core and has a MongoDB back end storing sample data. It's built with the ability to run in docker or node.js. To get started developing in Docker, see Getting Started with Docker. To get started developing with Node.js and Mongo, see Getting Started with Node. You can serve multiple versions of FHIR with just one server. By default, R4 (4_0_0) is enabled but DSTU2 (1.0.2) and STU3 (3.0.1) are also supported. You can choose to support all versions or just one version by editing the config.
- Install the latest Docker Community Edition for your OS if you do not already have it installed.
- Run
docker-compose up.
- Install the latest LTS for Node.js if you do not already have it installed.
- Install the latest Mongo Community Edition if you do not already have it installed.
- Make sure the default values defined in
env.jsonare valid. - Run
yarnornpm install. - Run
yarn startornpm run start.
The server should now be up and running on the default port 3000. You should see the following output:
... - verbose: Server is up and running!By default, R4 is enabled for the Patient and Organization resource. The capability statements are dynamically generated based on which resources you enable.
- View the R4 Capability Statement http://localhost:3000/4_0_0/metadata
Other versions if enabled.
- View the DSTU2 Conformance Statement http://localhost:3000/1_0_2/metadata
- View the STU3 Capability Statement http://localhost:3000/3_0_1/metadata
Using any request builder (i.e. Postman), let's create a new patient.

In this example, only the Patient and Organization resource is filled out. You will need to fill in the other services for the resources you would like to support. The routes will only be available for the resource you enabled. You can view the available resources over at @asymmetrik/node-fhir-server-core.
