Viewing the catalog of a pharmacy (Node.js)

In this use case, the user usually clicks on a pharmacy to view its pharmaceutical product catalog

Search

Code snippets

Client calls the BAP server to trigger search:

    router.post("/health_pharmacy/view_provider_catalog", viewProvideCatalog);

    async function viewProvideCatalog({ body }, res) {
        try {
            //  .. Validate the client request before below function
            await generateSearchRequest(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 generateSearchRequest() specified above
    async function generateSearchRequest(clientRequestBody) {
/*

BAP server calls protocol search to the network

   async function callSearch(searchRequestBody) {
        // 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}/health_pharmacy/search`, method: "POST", data: request, headers});
    }

BAP receives protocol on_search
