Type Alias: RegenerateAR()

RegenerateAR = (arData) => Promise<Nullable<string>>

Function

Attempts to recreate an AR model when initial generation fails.

This action tries again to create an AR-compatible version of a product when the first attempt was unsuccessful. It uses existing AR data to ensure consistency and returns a shortcode for accessing the AR experience if successful.

Business value:

  • Improves AR reliability by providing automatic recovery from generation failures
  • Enhances customer experience by reducing error messages during AR experiences
  • Maximizes AR availability for products with complex configurations
  • Supports continuous operation of AR features in busy retail environments

Parameters​

arData​

ARShortcodeData

Previously generated AR data containing model information

Returns​

Promise<Nullable<string>>

Promise resolving to an AR shortcode string, or null if regeneration fails

Example​

// Implement automatic retry when AR generation fails
window.mimeeqApp.actions.generateAR().then(shortcode => {
  if (!shortcode && arData) {
    // First attempt failed, try again
    return window.mimeeqApp.actions.regenerateAR(arData);
  }
  return shortcode;
}).then(finalShortcode => {
  if (finalShortcode) {
    window.location.href = `/ar-viewer?code=${finalShortcode}`;
  } else {
    showErrorMessage("AR currently unavailable for this product");
  }
});
