# `Jido.Character.Definition`
[🔗](https://github.com/agentjido/jido_character/blob/v1.0.0/lib/jido_character/definition.ex#L1)

Definition of a character type, used by `use Jido.Character`.

Stores compile-time configuration for character modules:
- `module` - The module that defined this character type
- `extensions` - List of enabled extensions (atoms)
- `defaults` - Default attribute values for new characters
- `adapter` - Persistence adapter module
- `adapter_opts` - Options passed to the persistence adapter
- `renderer` - Renderer module implementing `Jido.Character.Renderer` behaviour
- `renderer_opts` - Options passed to the renderer

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %Jido.Character.Definition{
  adapter: atom(),
  adapter_opts: [any()],
  defaults: map(),
  extensions: [atom()],
  module: atom(),
  renderer: atom(),
  renderer_opts: [any()]
}
```

# `new`

```elixir
@spec new(map()) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, term()}
```

Creates a new Definition struct from a map, validating with Zoi schema.

## Examples

    iex> Jido.Character.Definition.new(%{module: MyApp.Character})
    {:ok, %Jido.Character.Definition{module: MyApp.Character, extensions: [], ...}}

    iex> Jido.Character.Definition.new(%{})
    {:error, _validation_errors}

# `new!`

```elixir
@spec new!(map()) :: t()
```

Creates a new Definition struct from a map, raising on validation errors.

## Examples

    iex> Jido.Character.Definition.new!(%{module: MyApp.Character})
    %Jido.Character.Definition{module: MyApp.Character, extensions: [], ...}

# `schema`

Returns the Zoi schema for Definition
