Contest Period

May 18-31, 2020: Two weeks to upload your applications to Open Exchange (also during this period, you can edit your projects).

June 1-7, 2020: One week to vote.

All winners will be announced on June 8th, 2020.

The Topic

➡️ InterSystems IRIS Native API ⬅️

We will choose the best applications that meet the IRIS NATIVE API requirement. Your application could be a library, package, tool, or any solution which uses any of InterSystems IRIS Native API: .NET, Java, Python, Node.js. Learn more here.

The application should work either on InterSystems IRIS Community Edition or on InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition.

The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.

And you'll have technology bonuses if you introduce special technology implementations in your application. 

Technology bonuses

1. Docker container - 1 expert point

The application gets a 'Docker container' bonus if it uses InterSystems IRIS  running in a docker container. 

When cloned or downloaded the application should be runnable with:

$ docker-compose up -d

Sample Applications
Native API Contest Template – demonstrates all 4 NativeAPIs setup and work. The template satisfies the "Docker container" technology bonus. Also, check the related video.

Idea for contestants.

Julyter Notebooks kernel for InterSystems ObjectScript.

Recently I developed bidirectional integration for Jupyter Notebooks. It allows you to create intelligent Business Processes with Python activities. Here's the code (it uses Native API for Python and there's less than a 1000 sloc in the whole integration). Here's some screenshots:

However, as you see currently only BPLs with Python are supported.

The idea for the app is simple - to do the reverse - add the ability for Julyter Notebooks to execute InterSystems ObjectScript code.

Why? It's a great tool for quick prototyping and demos!

How? Using Native API develop a wrapper kernel for InterSystems ObjectScript. Essentially all you need to do is to execute arbitrary string of code and return result. Check WebTerminal source code (by @Nikita Savchenko) to see how a similar application works.
