🔧 Technical Implementation Guide ​

Step 1: Environment Setup ​

bash
# Install dependencies
npm install axios crypto-js moment

# Configure environment
export PARTNER_SERVICES_URL="https://partner-services.logistics.com/api/v1"
export PARTNER_ID="your_partner_id"
export SECRET_KEY="your_secret_key"

Step 2: Authentication Implementation ​

javascript
// Use the provided PartnerServicesAuth class
const auth = new PartnerServicesAuth({
  baseURL: process.env.PARTNER_SERVICES_URL,
  partnerId: process.env.PARTNER_ID,
  secretKey: process.env.SECRET_KEY,
});

Step 3: Core Functionality ​

javascript
// Partner setup flow
const setupFlow = new PartnerSetupFlow(auth);
await setupFlow.initializePartnerPanel();

// Zone management
const zoneFlow = new ZoneManagementFlow(auth);
await zoneFlow.loadManagementDashboard();

// Shipment assignment
const assignmentFlow = new ShipmentAssignmentFlow(auth);
await assignmentFlow.assignCourierPartner(shipmentDetails);
