Description

The REMS directory application is an app that acts as a API endpoint similar to the FDA API. It returns medication information when queried at the /drug/ndc.json endpoint. It adds the rems_endpoint that identifies the CDS Hooks server used by the REMS program.

Getting Started with REMS Administrator

To get started, first clone the repository using a method that is most convenient for you. If using git, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/mcode/rems-directory.git

The following technologies must be installed on your computer to continue:

• NPM
• Node

Query the server running on http://localhost:33333/ (or whichever port it was run on)

Routes

• /drug/ndc.json - The endpoint for querying the drug directory.

Example query endpoint:

This will search for the listing for the drug with the product_ndc of 0591-2433 (Isotretinoin)

Environment Variables

How To Override Defaults

The .env file contains the default URI paths, which can be overwritten from the start command as follows: a) SERVER_PORT=12345 npm start or b) by specifying the environment variables and desired values in a .env.local.

Following are a list of modifiable paths:

URI Name	Default	Description
SERVER_PORT	33333	The port to run the server on.
