Overview

Data services are the first category of services which deal with handling non-ui related state Each service have their own internal state which they handle.

We have replaced the redux store. Instead, we have introduced various services and a pub/sub pattern to subscribe and run, which makes the OHIF-v3 architecture nice and clean.

We maintain the following non-ui Services:

We have explained services and how to create a custom service in the ServicesManager section of the docs

To recap: The simplest service return a new object that has a name property, and Create method which instantiate the service class. The "Factory Function" that creates the service is provided with the implementation (this is slightly different for UI Services).

// extensions/customExtension/src/services/backEndService/index.js
import backEndService from './backEndService';

export default function WrappedBackEndService(servicesManager) {
return {
name: 'myService',
create: ({ configuration = {} }) => {
return new backEndService(servicesManager);
},
};
}

A service, once created, can be registered with the ServicesManager to make it accessible to extensions. Similarly, the application code can access named services from the ServicesManager.
