| Locate Mixin |
LocateMixin
The LocateMixin class enables plugins to "locate" stock items (or stock locations) via an entirely custom method.
For example, a warehouse could be arranged with each individual 'parts bin' having an audio-visual indicator (e.g. RGB LED and buzzer). "Locating" a particular stock item causes the LED to flash and the buzzer to sound.
Another example might be a parts retrieval system, where "locating" a stock item causes the stock item to be "delivered" to the user via a conveyor.
The possibilities are endless!
Web Integration
{% with id="web_locate", url="plugin/web_locate.png", description="Locate stock item from web interface", maxheight="400px" %} {% include 'img.html' %} {% endwith %}
App Integration
If a locate plugin is installed and activated, the InvenTree mobile app displays a button for locating a StockItem or StockLocation (see below):
{% with id="app_locate", url="plugin/app_locate.png", description="Locate stock item from app", maxheight="400px" %} {% include 'img.html' %} {% endwith %}
Implementation
Refer to the InvenTree source code for a simple implementation example.
