Asynchronous resource validation
Use RPC to run a validation operation to check a resource conformance
It may happen that you updated your profiles when data is already in your database or you want to do efficiently load a batch of data and validate it later. API consists of 3 procedures and a couple of resources:
To illustrate let's create some invalid data in Aidbox:
POST /Patient
content-type: text/yaml
id: 'pt1'
birthDate: '1980-03-05'
Break data from DB Console:
update patient
set resource = resource || '{"ups": "extra"}'
where id = 'pt1'
returning *
You can validate your existing data with our new rpc
aidbox.validation/batch-validation:POST /rpc
content-type: text/yaml
method: aidbox.validation/batch-validation
params:
# resourceType to validate
resource: Patient
id: pt-validation-run-1
# you can limit number of resources to validate
limit: 100
# you can stop process on specific number of invalid resources
errorsThreshold: 10
# where section of resources query
filter: "resource#>>'{birthDate}' is not null"
## run validation asynchronously
# async: true
## specify profiles to validate
# profiles: ['profile-url-1', 'profile-url-2']
## specify zen schemas to validation
#schemas: ['myapp/Patient', 'us-core.patient/Patient']
# response
result:
id: pt-validation-run-2
valid: 0
invalid: 1
duration: 15
problems:
- resource:
id: pt1
ups: extra

If you run validation in async mode, it will respond instantly and run validation in the background. You can get validation results with RPC
aidbox.validation/batch-validation-resultPOST /rpc?_format=yaml
content-type: text/yaml
method: aidbox.validation/batch-validation-result
params:
id: pt-validation-run-1
# response
status: 200
result:
valid: 1543
invalid: 2
duration: 3293
problems:
- resource: {....}
errors: [{...}, {...}]
When you do not need results of this validation you can clean up resources with:
POST /rpc?_format=yaml
content-type: text/yaml
method: aidbox.validation/clear-batch-validation
params:
id: pt-validation-run-1
When you run validation operation aidbox internally creates resource BatchValidationRun and put errors of validation in BatchValidationError. You can access these resources through standard CRUD/Search API
GET /BatchValidationError?.run.id=pt-validation-run-2&_format=yaml&_result=array
# response
- run:
id: pt-validation-run-2
resourceType: BatchValidationRun
errors:
- path:
- ups
message: extra property
resource:
id: pt1
resourceType: Patient
id: pt-validation-run-2-Patient-pt1
If you restart Aidbox you have to start validation over
