Component Configuration Files

The configuration file for an individual component’s configurations are stored in the comps directory:

<working directory>/config/comps/<component guid>/

Each directory contains a components.json file, storing the component card fields, and two directories storing the component’s project files - dev and run:

component.json stores the information entered on the component card :

description - the component description.
fields - the custom fields and values on the component card (vales are always encrypted).
guid - the component’s assigned unique identifier.
name - the component name.
sources - stores the component guid of all the connected source components.
tags - list of assigned tags.
template - true or false indicating if the component is an iNTERFACEWARE template component.

An example component file may look like this:

{
    "description": "HL7 map example",
    "fields": {
        "facilityFilter": "517D846FAA694B3A09730CFC36186EDA",
        "msgType": "517D846FAA694B3A09730CFC36186EDA"
    },
    "guid": "HL7Mapper_AmgBIzKDrHSJUL",
    "name": "HL7 Mapper",
    "sources": [
        "HL7Server_JBmyF2YKFSY3K7"
    ],
    "tags": [
        "#demo"
    ],
    "template": false
}

There are two directories with the same structure, used by Iguana to run the components according to the configuration:

The dev directory contains a component’s Translator project files and configurations when the component is set to run in development mode.
The run directory contains a component’s Translator project files and configurations when the component is set to run from a specific selected commit.

See Choosing the code to run for your component.

The folders will contain:

main.lua along with any other files or dependencies included in the project (ex. VMD, VDB, Lua files, etc.)
config.json - config.json stores the custom fields and default values set in the Translator.
.git folder - directory that stores all the data, history, and configurations required for Git to manage version control of the component’s repository.
