## Why?

This library offers pre-packaged solutions for features common to Web-based
medical imaging viewers. For example:

- Hotkeys
- DICOM Web
- Hanging Protocols
- Managing a study's measurements
- Managing a study's DICOM metadata
- A flexible pattern for extensions
- And many others

It does this while remaining decoupled from any particular view library or
rendering logic. While we use it to power our [React Viewer][react-viewer], it
can be used with Vue, React, Vanilla JS, or any number of other frameworks.

## Getting Started

The documentation for this library is sparse. The best way to get started is to
look at its
[top level exports](https://github.com/OHIF/Viewers/blob/master/platform/core/src/index.js),
and explore the source code of features that interest you. If you want to see
how we use this library, you can check out [our viewer
implementation][react-viewer].

### Install

> This library is pre- v1.0. All realeases until a v1.0 have the possibility of
> introducing breaking changes. Please depend on an "exact" version in your
> projects to prevent issues caused by loose versioning.

```
// with npm
npm i @ohif/core --save-exact

// with yarn
yarn add @ohif/core --exact
```

### Usage

Usage is dependent on the feature(s) you want to leverage. The bulk of
`@ohif/core`'s features are "pure" and can be imported and used in place.

_Example: retrieving study metadata from a server_

```js
import { studies } from '@ohif/core';

const studiesMetadata = await studies.retrieveStudiesMetadata(
  server, // Object
  studyInstanceUids, // Array
  seriesInstanceUids // Array (optional)
);
```

### Contributing

It is notoriously difficult to setup multiple dependent repositories for
end-to-end testing and development. That's why we recommend writing and running
unit tests when adding and modifying features for this library. This allows us
to program in isolation without a complex setup, and has the added benefit of
producing well-tested business logic.

1. Clone this repository
2. Navigate to the project directory, and `yarn install`
3. To begin making changes, `yarn run dev`
4. To commit changes, run `yarn run cm`

When creating tests, place the test file "next to" the file you're testing.
[For example](https://github.com/OHIF/ohif-core/blob/master/src/index.test.js):

```js
// File
index.js;

// Test for file
index.test.js;
```

As you add and modify code, `jest` will watch for uncommitted changes and run
your tests, reporting the results to your terminal. Make a pull request with
your changes to `master`, and a core team member will review your work. If you
have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out via a GitHub issue.
