Models: OntologyMatch

The data pipeline for generic lookup widgets relies entirely on the structural definition of the OntologyMatch contract.

Interface Specifications

Property	Type	Description
id	string	The global unique namespace prefix id (e.g., HP:0000118).
label	string	The default, fully authorized term name.
matchedText	string	The matched token string (useful for highlighting matched synonyms).

Integration with Components

When creating an autocomplete query, your search function must map the response payload from the backend into an array of OntologyMatch[].

// Example: Mapping your custom backend schema to the library model
import { OntologyMatch } from 'ng-hpo-uikit';

searchProvider = (query: string): Observable<OntologyMatch[]> => {
  return this.http.get<MyBackendSchema[]>(`/api/search?q=${query}`).pipe(
    map(results => results.map(item => ({
      id: item.termId,
      label: item.name,
      matchedText: item.matchedSynonym || item.name
    })))
  );
};
