Let's Build! A FHIR Facade
summary
Vonk FHIR Server exposes an existing system as FHIR by adding a facade plugin that maps legacy tables to resources, maps FHIR search parameters to backend queries, and returns FHIR bundles. The demo uses .NET Core with Entity Framework and LINQ, a two-table example database, and a Vonk-facade-relational query factory plus resource mapper; the search repository handles token/string/quantity/reference filters, does counts and paging, and supports create/read/update. The provided starter compiles and the demo queries and writes patients successfully.
