These will be structured as practical guides for common things to do when developing interfaces, like a cookbook

Converting between different message types

• For example, between different HL7 messages where each segment should be its own function, similar to what MD Anderson does

Different methods for doing a lookup

• Code mapping in the Lua

• Doing a database lookup

• Doing an API lookup

How to test code, and implementing unit testing

Using custom Iguana logs to trigger notifications

Performance optimization

• Database connections

• Caching queries or things like web API tokens that expire and refreshing the token

• What would make Translator run slow and what to do about it

• Working with very large files like 100mb+ like X12 and reading line by line

Introduce canonical data module, and when to use it in the context of component architecture design

• For making reusable components

• Many to one so that the many components can just send the same message type to the one

• How to implement canonical data model communication between components using JSON

Best ways to send data between components, and including metadata when needed (i.e. put into JSON object?)

Fancy tricks

• Querying Iguana logs and using that to do something

• Setting status of component and custom messages on the notification card

• Querying Iguana instance status

• Hosting a web dashboard

Developing new interfaces vs migrating existing from different system

• More difficult to migrate since exact replica is required

• Start testing asap - recommended strategies for testing
