Locker Statuses

Before you reserve a locker, let’s go over what that means. It is essential for you, as a service provider, to understand what every locker status means. There are 6 possible statuses for a locker.

  • Available: The locker is available for any user to use.

  • Reserved: The locker is assigned to the creator of the reservation. Given this, no one can ask for a drop-off locker token except the reservation creator. If no drop-off locker token is asked, the locker will be available once the reservation expired (or you can explicitly cancel a reservation).

  • Rented: This happens when a user asks for a drop-off locker token. Now the locker cannot be accessed by anyone else.

  • Occupied: A drop-off open token was used. It is assigned to the user. Now the locker is ready for a pick up token.

  • Declined: The user has rented the locker but has cancelled their reservation. Can be changed by either using a release token or a drop off token.

  • Out of service: Not available to use and not assigned to anybody.

    The following diagram explains the situtations that determine the locker’s state.
stateDiagram-v2 #OutOfService: Out Of Service NoToken: No Token Issued TokenIssued: Token Issued TokenUsed: Token Used state NoToken { Available --> Reserved : createReservation() Reserved --> Available : cancelReservation() } state TokenIssued { Rented Declined } state TokenUsed { Occupied } Rented --> Declined : releaseLocker() NoToken --> Rented : createDropOffToken() Rented --> Rented : createDropOffToken() Occupied --> Occupied : createDropOffToken()
createPickUpToken() #TokenIssued --> Occupied : [DropOff Token Used] Rented --> Occupied : [DropOff Token Used] Declined --> Occupied : [DropOff Token Used] Occupied --> NoToken : [PickUp Token Used] Declined --> NoToken : [Release Token Set]

Now that you know what locker status means, let’s reserve a locker.

Finding lockers in your tower

In order to find what lockers are in the tower:

curl -X 'GET' \
'{api_url}/api/v1/towers/{tower_id}/lockers' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}'

Keep in mind this command will return ALL lockers and not just the available ones. So you will need some kind of filtering in your app to not show the unavailable ones to the cutomer.

[{"id":959,"name":"14","isLowLocker":false,"towerId":{tower_id},"status":{"name":"available","id":1},"type":{"name":"small","description":null,"id":1},"accessMode":"public"},

In order to access this locker you will need to use the first “id” and not the “name” In this case it is: 959.

Reserving a locker

After finding the ID of the locker you want you can reserve the locker and give the user time to reach the location, let’s say 5 minutes.

# from the list, we select a locker_id and tower_id and make a reservation for 300 sec (5�min)
# Json request body => {'duration':300}. Number of seconds for the reservation
POST {api_url}/api/v1/towers/{tower_id}/lockers/{locker_id}/reservations
  1. Now we want to give the user the key to open the locker. Here’s an example.

In your requests ‘client_info’ should be an empty string.
  // requests encrypted tokens to open target locker
  export async function createDropOffToken(towerId, lockerId, bearerToken) {
      try {
      const createDropOffEndpoint = `{api_url}${towerId}/lockers/${lockerId}/dropoff-locker-tokens`;
      const requestOptionsAuth = {
      headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          Accept: 'application/json',
          Authorization: `Bearer ${access token}`,
    },
  };
  const requestBody = {client_info: '', duration: 3000};
  const response = await axios.post(
    createDropOffEndpoint,
    requestBody,
    requestOptionsAuth,
  );
  return {
    payload_auth: response.data.payload_auth,
    payload: response.data.payload,
  };
} catch (error) {
  throw error;
}
  }

Warning

Don’t exaggerate your token request, the locker will be in your possession until the token expires.

This function returns payload_auth and payload You will need these to open a reserved locker.

The locker opens and then the user puts the item inside and closes the locker.

Now the locker state is ‘occupied’ and will be in your possession until someone picks up the item.

Tip

HarborHarry

You can always check all lockers that are available to you as a build partner with: GET {api_url}/api/v1/users/me/assigned-lockers

Picking up the item

Now the same or another user wants to pick up the item. Here are a couple of examples on how to do this. Use the payload and payload_auth from creating the drop off token to open the locker.

HarborLockersSDK.sendOpenLockerWithTokenCommand(
    payload,
    payload_auth
);

The locker opens, the user removes the item and closes the locker.

Once the locker is closed, the locker will return to the Available state.

You can find information about debug logging and other tools to interact with lockers in SDK_tools
