jsonpretty: handy when playing with web services

Monday, October 17th, 2011

I just ran into a handy little utility: jsonpretty.

$sudo gem install json jsonpretty

While

$curl -i http://localhost:8081/openmrs-standalone/ws/rest/v1/catalog

gives you something like this:

{"catalog":[{"name":"Cohort","operations":[{"name":"GET http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort?q","description":"Fetch all non-retired that match this parameter"},{"name":"GET http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{uuid}","description":"Fetch by unique uuid"},{"name":"GET http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort","description":"Fetch all non-retired"},{"name":"POST http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort","description":"Create with properties in request"},{"name":"POST http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{uuid}","description":"Edit with given uuid, only modifying properties in request"},{"name":"DELETE http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{uuid}?!purge","description":"Delete this object from the database"},{"name":"DELETE http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{uuid}?purge","description":"Delete this object from the database"}],"url":"http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort","representations":[{"name":"ref","properties":["uuid","display","links"]},{"name":"default","properties":["uuid","name","description","voided","memberIds","links"]},{"name":"full","properties":["uuid","name","description","memberIds","voided","auditInfo","links"]}]},{"name":"CohortMember","operations":[{"name":"GET http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{parentUuid}/members/{uuid}","description":"Fetch by unique uuid"},{"name":"GET http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{parentUuid}/members","description":"Fetch all non-retired"},{"name":"POST http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{parentUuid}/members","description":"Create with properties in request"},{"name":"POST http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{parentUuid}/members/{uuid}","description":"Edit with given uuid, only modifying properties in request"},{"name":"DELETE http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{parentUuid}/members/{uuid}?!purge","description":"Delete this object from the database"},{"name":"DELETE http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{parentUuid}/members/{uuid}?purge","description":"Delete this object from the database"}],...

adding jsonpretty:

$curl -i http://localhost:8081/openmrs-standalone/ws/rest/v1/catalog | jsonpretty

gets you something much prettier:

{
  "catalog": [
    {
      "name": "Cohort",
      "operations": [
        {
          "name": "GET http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort?q",

        },

          "name": "DELETE http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort/{uuid}?purge",
          "description": "Delete this object from the database"
        }
      ],
      "url": "http://localhost:8081/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/cohort",
      "representations": [
        {
          "name": "ref",
          "properties": [
            "uuid",
            "display",
            "links"
          ]
        },
        {
          "name": "default",
          "properties": [
            "uuid",
            "name",
            "description",
            "voided",
            "memberIds",
            "links"
          ]
        },
        {
          "name": "full",
          "properties": [
            "uuid",
            "name",
            "description",
            "memberIds",
            "voided",
            "auditInfo",
            "links"
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    ...

Nice! Thank you jsonpretty! :-)

Displaying OpenMRS observations using Groovy

Monday, July 11th, 2011

I wanted to list out some observations for a patient and used the following Groovy script:

def sql(s) {admin.executeSQL(s,true) }
 
patientIdentifier = "999-3" // a test patient, of course
 
sql("""
select
date(o.obs_datetime),
(select name from concept_name where concept_id=o.concept_id limit 1) as question,
case c.datatype_id
when 1  /* numeric  */ then cast(o.value_numeric as char)
when 2  /* coded    */ then (select min(name) from concept_name where concept_id=o.value_coded)
when 3  /* text     */ then value_text
when 6  /* date     */ then cast(date(o.value_datetime) as char)
when 7  /* time     */ then cast(time(o.value_datetime) as char)
when 8  /* datetime */ then cast(o.value_datetime as char)
when 10 /* boolean  */ then if(o.value_numeric=1,'TRUE','FALSE')
else '?'
end as answer
from
obs o
left outer join
concept c
on c.concept_id=o.concept_id
where
o.person_id = (select patient_id from patient_identifier where identifier = '$patientIdentifier' limit 1)
order by
o.obs_datetime desc
""").collect{ it.join(": ") }.join("n")

which generated output like this:

Swipe down to close tab in FF4

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Just upgraded to Firefox 4 beta 7 on my MacBook Pro and the (three finger) swipe down gesture I had grown to love (thanks to Will Henderson’s MultiClutch), suddenly became a “show tab view” gesture.  This is no good!  I’ve already become accustomed to swiping down to close tabs in Firefox.

A little googling, and I was able to get back my swipe-down-to-close-tab gesture and move the show tab view gesture to SHIFT + swipe down:

  1. Open up a tab and browse to “about:config” to bring up the Firefox configuration — proceed at your own risk.
  2. Type “gesture” in the Filter field to filter down to gesture-related preferences.
  3. You should see the preference browser.gesture.swipe.down of type string set to value Browser:ShowTabView.
  4. Right-click on the preference name and select New –> String from the context menu.
  5. Enter browser.gesture.swipe.down.shift as the new preference name.
  6. Enter Browser:ShowTabView as the new preference’s value.
  7. So, now you have added a SHIFT + swipe down gesture (swiping three fingers down while holding down the shift key) to perform the default function of swipe down.  Now we take back our swipe down gesture…
  8. Double-click on the value of the browser.gesture.swipe.down preference and change it to cmd_close.
  9. You’re done!  Swipe down and the about:config tab should disappear.  Hold down shift while swiping down and you’ll see the tab view.

Now that gestures are supported on Firefox, I no longer need MultiClutch settings for Firefox.

Creating a Desktop Shortcut on a Mac

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Making a desktop shortcut icon on the Mac is pretty easy.  Open up the AppleScript script editor and make a script like this:

do shell script “/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -P Developer -no-remote &”

Then save as an application on the desktop.  Done.

This example shows how to pass parameters from AppleScript.  In particular, it shows how to open a 2nd Firefox window with the “Developer” profile by passing some command line parameters from AppleScript.

Firefox Incorrect Window Position

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Okay. I’ve been enjoying Firefox 3 Beta, but today it started opening up its window way off to the right of my desktop and about the height and width of a stamp. WTF? A little Googling led me to a fix: Corrupt localstore.rdf. So if you’re Firefox window starts misbehaving, try deleting localstore.rdf in your Firefox profile folder and letting Firefox re-create it.

So, why am I blogging about something mundane like this? A few reasons:

  1. I’m trying out the latest update to ScribeFire
  2. Trying to get more in the habit of blogging.
  3. Sometimes it’s nice to have stuff like this tip blogged for the next time around
