Fetching the latest delivery order with status (Node.js)
In this use case, the user requests the delivery agency to get the latest status of a confirmed delivery. Sometimes, the delivery agency also sends multiple status updates as and when the status of delivery changes like "Agent has picked up package", "Agent is en-route", "Agent has delivered package" etc.
Code snippets
Client calls the BAP server to trigger status:
router.post("/delivery/get_order_status", getOrderStatus);
async function get_order_status({ body }, res) {
try {
// .. Validate the client request before below function
await generateStatusRequest(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 generateStatusRequest() specified above
async function generateStatusRequest(body) {
/*
Example Request JSON :
{
"context": {
"domain": "delivery",
"country": "IND",
"city": "std:080",
"action": "status",
"core_version": "0.9.2",
"bap_id": "https://mock_bap.com/",

"message_id": "123793824",
"timestamp": "2021-06-23T07:59:13.950Z"
},
"message": {
"order_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 statusRequestBody = {
context,
message: {
// Construct from the request
}
};
//call protocol status
const response = await callStatus(statusRequestBody);
res
.status(200)
.send({ ...response.data, messageId: context["message_id"] });
}
BAP server calls protocol status to the network
async function callStatus(statusRequestBody) {
// 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}/delivery/status`, method: "POST", headers, data: statusRequestBody });
}
BAP receives protocol on_status
