# Location
A Location represents a physical location where items can be stored.
## Defining locations
A Location is defined within a JSON file. What a Location represents is up to you. One location can be as specific as individual storage boxes or as general as a whole room. You can even define a hierarchy and additional properties.
Basic Example: Storage Box
```json
{
"name": "Storage Box"
}
```
### Hierarchy
You can add a hierarchy to your locations. Let's say for example we have one building we use for storage.
So we create `storage_building1.json`:
```json
{
"name": "Storage Building"
}
```
Then define a room for storage in `storage_room1.json`:
```json
{
"name": "First storage room",
"parent": "storage_building1"
}
```
The `parent` field here defines that this location is inside another location, therefor setting up a hierarchy from larger scope locations to smaller scope. The `parent` field expects a location ID, which is typically the filename of the JSON without the extension.
With this we can go even more detailed:
```json
{
"name": "Black Storage Box",
"parent": "storage_room1"
}
```
### Properties
You can define various properties for a location. This allows for checking the best location for an item based on it's requirements. If locations are in a hierarchy they will inherit the properties of their parents by default.
#### Conditions
Some items might be better stored under certain conditions. You can set the conditions of a location like temperature.
Example: Freezer
```json
{
"name": "Freezer",
"conditions": {
"temperature": -10
}
}
```
