a seven hills person can scan barcodes to complete picking

[CapSap]

the workflow im thinking is user hits a button, goes to a picking / scanning screen. A single list of all the items to pick, and user can scan barcode to pick

• create a context
• create function to save context
• create picking page that gets data from context
• user can scan to pick
  • function to handle checking sku / barcode against picking
    • need something to convert barcode into sku
    • find one request only where sku is correct and it still needs to be picked
    • update this one request only, and update state
    • user can manually "scan" an item without barcde
    • user can undo a scan
  • update context from picking page (or write to db with completed picking results)
    • user can mark an order as short picked.
    • update relevant typescript things (db interface, etc)
• Alert user when a scan does not find any items. (wrong product scanned)

how am i gonna generate the picking page? (pass user selected data to the page?)

i can see 2 options

• use a and pass in params. nav to the picking list page, fetch from db all requests with ids in params.
• store requests in a context. or on click store requests that have been selected to go to a picklist.
  • so user select some requests
  • on click save requests to context
  • and then navigate to new picking list page, and display picking list
  • while picking is happening, requests are being updated locally (picked, cannot pick)
  • when picking is complete, press button to update db (picked, not picked)
  • and then navigate to dashboard

got stuck when retrieving mongo data on server via server function and passing down to client.
fix might be to use a route handler, or serialise the data before passing down to client

also got stuck on next caching but was able to sort it out
