hpo2gforms

hpo2gforms is a Java command-line application that creates Google Apps code that can be used on the Google platform to create a Google Forms questionnaire.

Requirements

hpo2forms requires Java version 21 or higher. Java JDKs can be downloaded from many places including azul.

Build

hpo2forms is built with maven. First use git to clone the code and then build it.

git clone https://github.com/P2GX/hpo2gforms.git
cd hpo2gforms
mvn clean package

This will create an executable called "hpo2forms.jar" in a new subdirectory called "target". This jar file can be moved to whatever location you desire or can be left where it is. Adjust the path as desired.

Running hpo2jar

The commands can be seen by the following

$ java -jar target/hpo2gforms.jar 
Usage: hpo2gforms [-hV] [COMMAND]
HPO to Google Forms
  -h, --help      Show this help message and exit.
  -V, --version   Print version information and exit.
Commands:
  download  Download HPO JSON file.
  gforms    Create Google Forms Code

Running the downloadcommand will download the hp.json file needed for the gforms command.

$ java -jar target/hpo2gforms.jar download

Thuis command creates a new directory called dataand downloads the hp.json file to this. When running the app, always be sure to download the latest hp.json file using this command.

Target term

Now choose the target term -- the base term for creating the questionnare. For instance, to choose Abnormal nonverbal communicative behavior HP:0000758, enter the "-t" argument as 0000758.

$ java -jar target/hpo2gforms.jar gforms -t 0000758 [-l]

This will create a new file with the Google Apps code. See Google Apps for details on how to run this in the Google apps console. The -l flag (for limit) causes the app to output only three questions and is intended to be used for testing.
