Create shipment

var orderRequest = new runnr.OrderRequest();

// Add pickup details
orderRequest.pickup.user.name                           = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.phone_no                       = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.email                          = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.type                           = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.external_id                    = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.address           = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.locality.name     = ''; // Can be skipped, see below
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.sub_locality.name = ''; // Can be skipped, see below
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.city.name         = '';
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.geo.latitude      = "plat"; // Optional, string format
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.geo.longitude     = "plng"; // Optional, string format


// Add drop details
orderRequest.drop.user.name                             = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.phone_no                         = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.email                            = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.type                             = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.external_id                      = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.address             = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.locality.name     = ''; // Can be skipped, see below
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.sub_locality.name = ''; // Can be skipped, see below
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.city.name         = '';
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.geo.latitude        = "dlat"; // Optional, string format
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.geo.longitude       = "dlng"; // Optional, string format

// Order Details
orderRequest.order_details.order_id                 = '';
orderRequest.order_details.order_value              = '0';
orderRequest.order_details.amount_to_be_collected   = '0';
orderRequest.order_details.order_type.name          = 'CashOnDelivery';
orderRequest.order_details.order_items[0].quantity  = 1;
orderRequest.order_details.order_items[0].price     = 0;
orderRequest.order_details.order_items[0].item.name = '';
orderRequest.order_details.created_at               = "YYYY-MM-DD hh: MM";

orderRequest.callback_url = 'your.domain/url'; // OPTIONAL

runnr.createShipment(orderRequest, function(error, response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Roadrunnr allows you to skip the "locality" and "sub_locality" parameters if you provide the accurate lat & long for the addresses. I've added a geocoder which converts the address almost accurate lat long. Instrutions here.

Auto Retry

Using this option allows the module to retry assigning a runnr for an OrderRequest which led to a 706 error from Runnr (no runnrs available at the moment). Place the following code right below the part where you set your keys.

runnr.events.on(RR.RETRY_ERROR, function(orderId) {
  console.log("Retry failed for orderId: " + orderId); // This is the order_id provided in OrderRequest.order_details.order_id
});
runnr.events.on(RR.RETRY_SUCCESS, function(orderId) {
  console.log("Retry success for orderId: " + orderId); // This is the order_id provided in OrderRequest.order_details.order_id
});

Call the createShipment API with retry options.

var options = {
  retry     : true,
  retryTime : 5 // in seconds
};

runnr.createShipment(orderRequest, options, function(error, response) {
  if (error == null) {
    console.log(response);
  } else {
    console.error(response);
  }
});

Track shipment

runnr.trackShipment(id, function(error, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(response);
  }
});

Cancel shipment

runnr.cancelShipment(id, function(error, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(response);
  }
});

Check serviceability

runnr.checkServiceability(orderRequest, function(error, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(response);
  }
});

(OPTIONAL) Auto assign lat & long

Please run npm install geocoder before using the following function. You can skip the locality and sub_locality fields using this. IMPORTANT NOTE : This function geocodes the address in orderRquest.pickup.user.full_address.address and orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.address. Make sure this the complete address which includes the city name and the pin code.

orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.locality.name     = 'BYPASS_LOCALITY';
orderRequest.pickup.user.full_address.sub_locality.name = ''; // Can be left blank

orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.locality.name     = 'BYPASS_LOCALITY';
orderRequest.drop.user.full_address.sub_locality.name = '';  // Can be left blank

runnr.assignLatLong(orderRequest, function(error, newOrderRequest) {
  if (error) {
    // There was some error geocoding one of the addresses
  } else {
    runnr.createShipment(newOrderRequest, function(error, response) {
      if (error) {
        console.error(error);
      } else {
        console.log(response);
      }
    });
  }
});

(OPTIONAL) Use test environment

To use Roadrunnr's test portal, just change the environment. This module uses the production server by default.

runnr.setEnvironment('test');

(OPTIONAL) Change OAuth token filepath

To use Roadrunnr's test portal, just change the environment. This module uses the production server by default.

runnr.setOAuthPath('./path/to/OAuth/file.json');

(OPTIONAL) RawParser middleware for Express

Roadrunnr callbacks are of type application/octet-stream, and rawBody has been dropped from the request object in newer versions of Express. Here is a simple rawbody parser for roadrunnr callbacks

app.post('/roadRunnr/callback', runnr.rawParser, function(req,res) {
  console.log(req.rawBody);
  res.send("OK");
});

Changes in v0.0.6

This wrapper now has an option to auto-retry in cases of 706 error from runnr.

Changes in v0.0.5

This wrapper now checks for errors thrown by the Roadrunnr API. Please check for errors in all API calls.
