taking a user to an item add screen if they've scanned a non-existing asset ID

[FloMiau]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

Just like in #373 I printed a lot of labels to put them on my stuff and fill in the info later.
I get an asset not found error when I scan the QR codes.

What is the solution you are proposing?

Taking the user to an item add screen if they've scanned a non-existing asset ID.

What alternatives have you considered?

For now I'm creating some empty items in a dummy room. Replace $BEARERTOKEN and $DUMMYROOMID with the right values:

for i in {1..100}
do
  curl -X 'POST' \
    'https://homebox.ad.flotastisch.net/api/v1/items' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: $BEARERTOKEN' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "description": "",
    "locationId": "$DUMMYROOMID",
    "name": "Empty"
  }'
done

Thanks for writing this up. For others trying to figure this out whom are also not as endowed in the ways of coding, to get your $BEARERTOKEN, you'll need to go follow the instructions here. Next you'll need your locationID. That is the hex code from the url of the location you want to dump your empty assets into. For example, https://homebox.yoursite.com/location/1ab21117-1e78-4b60-978f-f8fb133f2882 gives you a locationID = 1ab21117-1e78-4b60-978f-f8fb133f2882.

I used ChatGPT, because I don't know what I'm doing, to give me the following so that each entry is numbered uniquely with format Empty 001, Empty 002 since it doesn't appear Homebox handles numbered items very well yet.:

for i in {1..100}
do
  padded_i=$(printf "%03d" $i)
  curl -X 'POST' \
    'https://homebox.yoursite.com/api/v1/items' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: $BEARERTOKEN' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d "{
    \"description\": \"\",
    \"locationId\": \"DUMMYROOMID\",
    \"name\": \"Empty $padded_i\"
  }"
done
