Code Template Libraries

Code template libraries are a new concept in Mirth Connect 3.3. They allow you to organize your code templates more easily, and include specific sets of code templates on specific channels.

• Libraries can be included/excluded on specific channels. So you don't have to include everything everywhere if you don't need to.
• Since libraries are linked to channels, users can easily see what code templates are being included on a channel.
• Importing/exporting is vastly improved. Users can import/export individual code templates, and upon import a dialog is shown to make handling conflicts easy.
• When a channel is exported, users now have the option to include code template libraries with the actual channel export. Those libraries can then be imported along with the channel!
• Command Line Interface (CLI) support for code templates has been vastly improved.
• Users can create JSDoc comments in their code templates, with parameter and return type annotations. These will then show up in auto-completion in channel scripts.
• The Channel History plugin now supports code templates too! Users can review the revision history for code templates and libraries, compare revisions, and revert to earlier ones.

New JSON Data Type

Mirth Connect has always supported JSON, since you can call JSON.parse and JSON.stringify directly in JavaScript. However now in 3.3, we've added a new JSON data type to make working with it even easier!

• JSON-specific syntax highlighting and message tree structure
• The msg and tmp variables in filters/transformers will automatically be converted to/from JavaScript objects. No need to call parse or stringify!
• A new JsonUtil utility class was added, so you can easily pretty print JSON data before sending it out.
