orca-validation-node

This is a fully working example of how to validate barcode scans using Orca Scan and Node.js

How it works:

1. A user scans a barcode using the Orca mobile app
2. They're presented with a form asking for information
3. They enter the information and tap save
4. The information is sent to your Validation URL
5. Your system validates the information entered

If Valid: You return a HTTP 200 with no body and the app save proceeds.

If Invalid: You return JSON error message, the error is presented to the user and save is rejected.

{
    "title": "Error",
    "description": "Whatever action you need the user to take"
}

Once the user has corrected the error, they tap save and the process returns to point 4.

Install

First ensure you have Node.js installed.

# should return 11 or higher
