Logseq/Entity/Purchase

• Purchase

  • In this garden, Purchase pages model something acquired: when it was bought, what it cost, and where it came from. A page carries this entity alongside whatever the item itself is.

  • What counts as an instance

    • A specific item Person/codekiln owns, bought on a known day. The page is the item; this type adds the acquisition to it.
    • Not this type: something under consideration, which stays a shopping note, or a subscription and its recurring charge.

  • Naming

    • The page is the item and takes the item's own name, under its maker per Logseq/Pref/Page/Name — IK Multimedia/iLoud Micro Monitors.

  • Frontmatter

    • logseq-entity:: names the item's own type first, then this one: logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Hardware/Audio/Speaker]], [[Logseq/Entity/Purchase]].
    • date-purchased:: — the day, as a Logseq/Entity/Time/Date link: [[2022-08-20 Sat]].
    • logseq-purchased-time-year:: — the same event at year precision, as a Logseq/Entity/Time/Year link: [[20/2/2]]. It sits alongside date-purchased:: the way logseq-created-time-year:: sits alongside date-created::, so every purchase of a given year collects as a backlink on that year.
    • purchase-price:: — what was paid, with its currency symbol.
    • purchase-link:: — the listing it was bought from, as a Markdown link.
    • Shared frontmatter conventions live on Logseq/Frontmatter.

  • Page shape

    • The acquisition lives in frontmatter. The body is the item's, and follows the item's own entity type.
