title: 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
|
|
|
|
{{ image("plugin/web_locate.png", "Locate stock item from web interface", maxheight="400px") }}
|
|
|
|
### App Integration
|
|
|
|
If a locate plugin is installed and activated, the [InvenTree mobile app](../../app/index.md) displays a button for locating a StockItem or StockLocation (see below):
|
|
|
|
{{ image("plugin/app_locate.png", "Locate stock item from app", maxheight="400px") }}
|
|
|
|
### Implementation
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [InvenTree source code]({{ sourcefile("src/backend/InvenTree/plugin/samples/locate/locate_sample.py") }}) for a simple implementation example.
