Algebraic Data Type to JSON Schema

Think in terms of algebraic data type, export sane subset of json schema ( see all types )

    },

Rename key

Enable key editing on a selected schema

Submit a changed key with current text input value
Enter
Cancel editing
Escape

Change type

For Windows, use Ctrl in place of Cmd

Reference tracking and integrity

Once a type is referenced, name and namespace updates automatically reflects on referrers

When there exists at least one referrer, the referenced type cannot be deleted, enforced at db-level

reference tracking

Export as a bundle

All modules are bundled as a single JSON Schema file based on Compound Documents Specification

Bundled schema is also a usable schema. Validator can validate the file without decomposing schema definitions into separate files.

exported bundle
AJV validator

Currently AJV needs one step of decomposing files

const Ajv2020 = require("ajv/dist/2020")
let ajv = new Ajv2020()

let programSch = require("./sch.json")

for (modu of Object.keys(programSch.$defs)) {
  ajv.addSchema(programSch.$defs[modu])
  delete programSch.$defs[modu]
}

const data = { data: { values: ["a", "b"] }, mark: "arc" }
let result = ajv.validate(programSch, data)

console.log(result)
console.log(ajv.errors)
Hyperjump validator
const hpj = require("@hyperjump/json-schema")
hpj
  .get("file://./sch.json")
  .then(schema => hpj.validate(schema, { data: { values: ["a", "b"] }, mark: "arc" }))
  .then(output => console.log(output))

Simply think each $id is a module and each of $defs is a type,
