Local Import

Imports FHIR NDJSON files from a local directory.

Configuration

services:
  local_import:
    dir: "/path/to/fhir/data"

pipeline:
  enabled_steps:
    - local_import

Usage

# Use directory from config
aether pipeline start aether.yaml crtdl.json

# Override directory via flag
aether pipeline start aether.yaml crtdl.json --dir /other/path

# Override directory as positional (deprecated, prints warning)
aether pipeline start aether.yaml crtdl.json /other/path

Configuration Options

Option	Type	Description
dir	string	Default import directory (overridable with --dir flag or as the third positional argument)

Notes

• The --dir flag takes precedence over the config file setting; passing the directory as a positional argument still works but is deprecated.
• A CRTDL JSON file is always required as the second positional argument — downstream steps such as flattening and CRTDL preprocessing depend on it.
