Regenerate a location's name

POST

/locations/{name}:resetName

const url = 'https://example.com/api/v1/locations/example:resetName';
const options = {method: 'POST'};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/api/v1/locations/example:resetName

Hands the pen back to the platform, the same verb components and systems carry: the name is re-minted from the location_type’s name rule and the lowest free ordinal in this placement, and name_generated goes back to true. A location_type carrying no name rule refuses (422), which is every type a shipped fleet has: only a positional kind of place, one whose number is an arbitrary disambiguator rather than a designation read off the signage (a parking deck, a rack row), has a name the platform can generate, and an operator declares such a type themselves. Gated by location:rename, the same token :rename uses.

Parameters

Path Parameters

string

The location’s name, or a dotted address (e.g. boi.17c.415a)

application/json

object

$schema

A URL to the JSON Schema for this object.

string format: uri

actions

The scope-aware actions the caller may perform on this row (create a child, update, delete); a UI hint, the server still enforces.

Array<string> | null

effective_tags

The resolved effective tags (key -> winning value) that cascade onto this location (platform and its location tree); for the Tags column.

object

key

additional properties

string

required

string

label

string

label_generated

required

Whether the platform rendered this label from a label rule rather than an operator typing it. Read-only: write label to claim it, write an empty label to hand it back.

boolean

location_type

required

The location_type name

string

location_type_id

required

The location_type’s uuid, the stable form of location_type

string

name

required

string

name_generated

required

Whether the platform picked this name (from the location_type’s name rule) rather than an operator typing it.

boolean

parent

The parent location’s name, for display; absent for a site root

string

parent_id

The parent location’s id, the canonical handle

string

path

The dotted address (e.g. boi.17c.415a); no accessor, since a location’s own address IS its location-tree ancestor chain. Set on a GET or LIST response; empty on a create/update/move/rename response (refetch the row to see it).

string

path_segments

Path split on ’.’.

Array<string> | null

renders

Two display-only compact forms of path, dash and bare. Neither is accepted back by the resolver: stripping/compacting is lossy.

object

bare

required

The dash render’s segments concatenated with no separator, with the final stem-ordinal segment compacted to when the owning type registers one (e.g. boi17c216bdsp1). On a LIST row the substitution is skipped (segments concatenated as-is) to avoid a per-row abbrev resolution; a GET always compacts it. Display only either way; not accepted by the resolver.

string

dash

required

The path’s non-accessor segments joined with ’-’ (e.g. boi-17c-216b-display-1). Display only; not accepted by the resolver.

string

Example

{
  "$schema": "/api/v1/schemas/LocationBody.json"

default

Error

application/problem+json

object

$schema

A URL to the JSON Schema for this object.

string format: uri

detail

A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem.

string

Optional list of individual error details

Array<object> | null

object

location

Where the error occurred, e.g. ‘body.items[3].tags’ or ‘path.thing-id’

string

message

Error message text

string

value

The value at the given location

instance

A URI reference that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem.

string format: uri

status

HTTP status code

integer format: int64

title

A short, human-readable summary of the problem type. This value should not change between occurrences of the error.

string

type

A URI reference to human-readable documentation for the error.
