What is a Location?

A location in the TrustStack is any physical and static location where traceability activity of interest occurs. This could be a farm, warehouse, factory, port. Essentially, anything that would have a unique street address is considered a location.

​
What is a sub-location?

A sub-location is a physical and static location that is contained within a parent location. For example a farm location could have many paddocks, silos, sheds, and so fourth. A port could have many docks, a factory with different storage areas, and so forth.

​
Location Management

Use the TrustStack SDK or API to manage application locations. 
import {TrustStack} from "@truststack/sdk";

const truststack = new TrustStack({
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
});

const location = await truststack.masterData.locations.create(
  {
    name: "ACME Farm",
  },
  {
    organizationId: "org_123",
  }
);

console.log(location);

{
  "id": "location-id",
  "name": "ACME Farm"
}
Once a location has been created, it can be referenced in traceability events. A sub-location can also be created as child of a parent location, and referenced in traceability events. 
const subLocation = await truststack.masterData.locations.create(
  {
    name: "Paddock 1",
    parentLocationId: "location-id",
  },
  {
    organizationId: "org_123",
  }
);
