Contacting the store support regarding an order (Node.js)
In this use case, the user wants to contact the customer support due to an issue with the order. Here the seller returns the customer support info of the seller
Code snippets
Client calls the BAP server to trigger support:
router.post("/local_retail/contact_store", contactStore);
async function contactStore({ body }, res) {
try {
// .. Validate the client request before below function
await generateSupportRequest(body)
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).send(httpResponse("NACK", error));
}
};
BAP server generates the protocol request body
// Code to generate the protocol request body i.e. function generateSupportRequest() specified above
async function generateSupportRequest(body) {
/*
Example Request JSON :
{
"context": {
"domain": "local_retail",
"country": "IND",
"city": "std:080",
"action": "support",
"core_version": "0.9.2",
"bap_id": "https://mock_bap.com/",

"message_id": "123793824",
"timestamp": "2021-06-23T08:22:44.059Z"
},
"message": {
"ref_id": "order_1"
}
}
*/
//The below code generates the above example JSON.
const transactionId = _.get(body, "transactionId");
// Returns the Context including MessageId
const context = createContext(transactionId);
const supportRequestBody = {
context,
message: {
// Construct from the request
}
};
//call protocol support
const response = await callSupport(supportRequestBody);
res
.status(200)
.send({ ...response.data, messageId: context["message_id"] });
}
BAP server calls protocol support to the network
async function callSupport(supportRequestBody) {
// It lookups the registry for BG OR BPP
let uri = lookup();
// Construct Header
const headers = constructAuthHeader(); // Auth Header with digital Signature
return axios({ url: `${uri}/local_retail/support`, method: "POST", headers, data: supportRequestBody });
}
BAP receives protocol on_support

// Auth middleware authenticates the digital signature of the incoming request
router.post("/local_retail/on_support", auth, onSupport);
async function onSupport({ body }, res) {
// Save the response to Database
await saveToDb(body);
};
Client polls BAP to get the on_support results
// Endpoint for the client to poll the search data based on the message id
async function getMessageById(req) {
try {
const messageId = _.get(req, "messageId");
// Get the data using message Id
const response = await getData(messageId);
res.status(200).send(httpResponse('ACK', "", response));
} catch(error) {
res.status(500).send(httpResponse("NACK", error));
}
};
