CQF Exercises

This repository contains CQL exercises for learning CQL authoring

Setup

The exercises in this repository can be worked locally, or remotely.

Remote Setup

The exercises in this repository can be worked using the codespaces feature of Github to allow participants a completely browser-based experience:

  1. Make sure you are logged in to Github.com (if you don't have an account, you can signup free here)
  2. Open the repository in a Codespace using the green Code button dropdown (a 4-core machine should be plenty for this)

Note that the first time you open the Codespace will take quite a while, so give it time to initialize.

While the Codespace is initializing, there is an option to open the container in VS Code Desktop. DO NOT SELECT THIS OPTION unless you have VS Code installed locally. Continue to wait for the Codespace to initialize.

Once the Codespace is open, you will be in a VS Code with the contents of this repository open in the File Explorer and can view the exercises in the input/cql folder.

Local Setup

These exercises can be worked locally with the VS Code Plugin. If you do not have Atom and CQL Atom Plugin installed, follow the Quick Start instructions.

Once you have VSCode installed, the exercises can be downloaded locally (i.e. cloning this repository to your local drive). To do this from within VSCode, follow the instructions for Cloning a repository. When you get to the dialog asking for the repository to clone, provide this link:

https://github.com/cqframework/cqf-exercises.git

This link is also available from the Code button at the top of the repository home page in GitHub.

Once you have cloned the repository locally, open the repository in VSCode at the root of the repository. In the file explorer in the IDE, navigate to the input/cql folder and open any of the exercises. Once you're in a CQL editor, you should see syntax highlighting and error reporting, and you can also execute the CQL by right-clicking and selectin CQL | Execute from the popup menu, or simply by pressing F5.

For more information on the VSCode CQL plugin, refer to the Using CQL Support in Atom topic in the Atom CQL Support readme.
