How to use Google Cloud Healthcare API HttpBody class? - php

Question

I'm having a hard time using a method setData() of the HttpBody class. I'm passing the parameter to the method as an object, but I recieve an error message.
How do I pass the parameter:
public function create(string $resource, $body)
{
$client = $this->googleClient();
$service = new CloudHealthcare($client);
$parent = "projects/my_project_id/locations/my_location/datasets/my_dataset/fhirStores/repository";
$httpBody = new HttpBody();
$httpBody->setContentType('application/fhir+json;charset=utf-8');
$httpBody->setData([
"resourceType" => "Patient",
"id" => "23434",
"meta" => [
"versionId" => "12",
"lastUpdated" => "2014-08-18T15:43:30Z"
],
"text" => [
"status" => "generated",
"div" => "<!-- Snipped for Brevity -->"
],
"extension" => [
[
"url" => "http://example.org/consent#trials",
"valueCode" => "renal"
]
],
"identifier" => [
[
"use" => "usual",
"label" => "MRN",
"system" => "http://www.goodhealth.org/identifiers/mrn",
"value" => "123456"
]
],
"name" => [
[
"family" => [
"Levin"
],
"given" => [
"Henry"
],
"suffix" => [
"The 7th"
]
]
],
"gender" => [
"text" => "Male"
],
"birthDate" => "1932-09-24",
"active" => true
]);
$data = $service->projects_locations_datasets_fhirStores_fhir->create($parent, $resource, $httpBody);
return $data;
}
Following the error message I get.
The error says I didn't pass the resourceType field, but it was passed:
Google\Service\Exception: {
"issue": [
{
"code": "structure",
"details": {
"text": "unparseable_resource"
},
"diagnostics": "missing required field \"resourceType\"",
"expression": [
""
],
"severity": "error"
}
],
"resourceType": "OperationOutcome"
} in file /usr/share/nginx/vendor/google/apiclient/src/Http/REST.php on line 128
How should I pass the parameter to receive the success message?
Tkanks!

I haven't tried the PHP client libraries specifically, but for most languages you don't want to use the HttpBody class - it's an indication that the method accepts something in the body of the request that is just text from the perspective of the method signature. I would try passing the JSON string directly.
