Note that this depends on globalSchema, which is populated by the StructureDefinition loader.
Example 2
In a server context, you can load all schema definitions:
import { indexStructureDefinitionBundle } from '@medplum/core';
import { readJson } from '@medplum/definitions';
import { Bundle } from '@medplum/fhirtypes';
indexStructureDefinitionBundle(readJson('fhir/r4/profiles-resources.json') as Bundle);
Example 3
In a client context, you can load the schema definitions using MedplumClient:
import { MedplumClient } from '@medplum/core';
const medplum = new MedplumClient();
await medplum.requestSchema('Patient');
