🛒 Order Service

The Order Service provides a complete REST API for managing order entities with CRUD operations. It's built using the Nodeblocks functional composition approach and integrates seamlessly with MongoDB.

🚀 Quickstart

import express from 'express';
import { middlewares, services, drivers } from '@nodeblocks/backend-sdk';

const { nodeBlocksErrorMiddleware } = middlewares;
const { orderService } = services;
const { getMongoClient } = drivers;

const client = getMongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017', 'dev');

express()
  .use(
    orderService(
      {
        orders: client.collection('orders'),
        identities: client.collection('identities'),
      },
      {
        authSecrets: {
          authEncSecret: 'your-encryption-secret',
          authSignSecret: 'your-signing-secret',
        },
        identity: {
          typeIds: {
            admin: '100',
            guest: '000',
            regular: '001',
          },
        },
      }
    )
  )
  .use(nodeBlocksErrorMiddleware())
  .listen(8089, () => console.log('Server running'));

📋 Endpoint Summary

Order Operations

Method	Path	Description	Auth Required
`POST`	`/orders`	Create a new order	✅ Required
`GET`	`/orders/:orderId`	Retrieve an order by ID	✅ Required
`GET`	`/orders`	List/filter orders	✅ Required
`PATCH`	`/orders/:orderId`	Update an order	✅ Required
`DELETE`	`/orders/:orderId`	Delete an order	✅ Required

🗄️ Entity Schema

The order entity combines base fields (auto-generated) with complex order-specific data including items array and pricing:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "productId": "string (uuid)",
      "quantity": "number",
      "price": "number"
    }
  ],
  "total": "number",
  "subtotal": "number",
  "tax": "number",
  "currency": "string",
  "status": "string",
  "identityId": "string (uuid)",
  "organizationId": "string (uuid)",
  "createdAt": "string (datetime)",
  "id": "string",
  "updatedAt": "string (datetime)"
}

Field Details

Field	Type	Auto-Generated	Required	Description
`items`	array	❌	✅	Array of order items with product details
`total`	number	❌	✅	Total order amount (minimum 0)
`subtotal`	number	❌	❌	Subtotal before tax (minimum 0)
`tax`	number	❌	❌	Tax amount (minimum 0)
`currency`	string	❌	❌	Currency code (e.g., "USD", "EUR")
`status`	string	❌	❌	Order status (e.g., "pending", "completed")
`identityId`	string (uuid)	❌	✅	Identity who placed the order
`organizationId`	string (uuid)	❌	❌	Organization associated with the order
`createdAt`	datetime	✅	✅	Creation timestamp
`id`	string	✅	✅	Unique identifier (UUID)
`updatedAt`	datetime	✅	✅	Last modification timestamp

Items Array Schema

Each item in the items array must contain:

Field	Type	Required	Validation	Description
`productId`	string (uuid)	✅	UUID format	Product identifier
`quantity`	number	✅	Minimum 1	Quantity ordered
`price`	number	✅	Minimum 0	Price per unit

📝 Note: The schema enforces additionalProperties: false, meaning only defined fields are allowed. Auto-generated fields are set by the service and should not be included in create/update requests.

🔐 Authentication Headers

For all endpoints, include the following headers:

Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
x-nb-fingerprint: <device_fingerprint>

⚠️ Important: The x-nb-fingerprint header is required for all authenticated requests if fingerprint was specified during authorization. Without it, requests will return 401 Unauthorized.

🔧 API Endpoints

1. Create Order

Creates a new order with the provided information including items array and pricing details.

Request:

Method: POST
Path: /orders
Headers:
- Content-Type: application/json
- Authorization: Bearer <token>
- x-nb-fingerprint: <device-fingerprint>
Authorization: Bearer token required

Request Body:

Field	Type	Required	Description

`total`	number	✅	Total order amount
`identityId`	string (uuid)	✅	Identity who placed the order
`subtotal`	number	❌	Subtotal before tax
`tax`	number	❌	Tax amount
`currency`	string	❌	Currency code
`status`	string	❌	Order status
`organizationId`	string (uuid)	❌	Organization associated with order

Response Body:

Field	Type	Description
`items`	array	Array of order items with product details
`items[].productId`	string	Product identifier
`items[].quantity`	number	Quantity ordered
`items[].price`	number	Price per unit
`total`	number	Total order amount
`subtotal`	number	Subtotal before tax
`tax`	number	Tax amount
`currency`	string	Currency code

Validation:

Schema Validation: Enforced automatically (items, total, identityId required)
Route Validators:
- Require authenticated request (bearer token)
- Require admin role or self (order owner)

Authorization Note: When creating an order, the identityId field in the request body must match the identityId associated with your access token. If you attempt to create an order for a different identity, you will receive a 403 Forbidden error.

Admin users cannot create orders for other users unless the backend validator logic is changed to allow this.
