JSV.Schema (jsv v0.10.1)
View SourceThis module defines a struct where all the supported keywords of the JSON schema specification are defined as keys. Text editors that can predict the struct keys will make autocompletion available when writing schemas.
Using in build
The %JSV.Schema{}
struct can be given to JSV.build/2
:
schema = %JSV.Schema{type: :integer}
JSV.build(schema, options())
Because Elixir structs always contain all their defined keys, writing a schema
as %JSV.Schema{type: :integer}
is actually defining the following:
%JSV.Schema{
type: :integer,
"$id": nil
additionalItems: nil,
additionalProperties: nil,
allOf: nil,
anyOf: nil,
contains: nil,
# etc...
}
For that reason, when giving a %JSV.Schema{}
struct to JSV.build/2
, any nil
value is
ignored. The same behaviour can be defined for other struct by implementing
the JSV.Normalizer.Normalize
protocol. Mere maps will keep their nil
values.
Note that JSV.build/2
does not require %JSV.Schema{}
structs, any map with binary or
atom keys is accepted.
This is also why the %JSV.Schema{}
struct does not define the const
keyword, because
nil
is a valid value for that keyword but there is no way to know if the
value was omitted or explicitly defined as nil
. To circumvent that you may
use the enum
keyword or just use a regular map instead of this module's
struct:
%JSV.Schema{enum: [nil]}
# OR
%{const: nil}
Functional helpers
This module also exports a small range of utility functions to ease writing schemas in a functional way.
This is mostly useful when generating schemas dynamically, or for shorthands.
For instance, instead of writing the following:
%Schema{
type: :object,
properties: %{
name: %Schema{type: :string, description: "the name of the user", minLength: 1},
age: %Schema{type: :integer, description: "the age of the user"}
},
required: [:name, :age]
}
One can write:
%Schema{
type: :object,
properties: %{
name: string(description: "the name of the user", minLength: 1),
age: integer(description: "the age of the user")
},
required: [:name, :age]
}
This is also useful when building schemas dynamically, as the helpers are pipe-able one into another:
new()
|> props(
name: string(description: "the name of the user", minLength: 1),
age: integer(description: "the age of the user")
)
|> required([:name, :age])
Summary
Functions
Use this module to define module-based schemas or schemas with the helpers API.
Merges two sets of attributes into a single map. Attributes can be a keyword list or a map.
Calls the json_schema/0
function on the given module, with a fallback to the
deprecated schema/0
function if exported.
Merges the given key/values into the base schema. The merge is shallow and will overwrite any pre-existing key.
Returns a new empty schema.
Returns a new schema with the given key/values.
Normalizes a JSON schema with the help of JSV.Normalizer.normalize/3
with
the following customizations
Returns whether the given atom is a module with a schema/0
exported
function.
Returns the given %JSV.Schema{}
as a map without keys containing
a nil
value.
Includes the cast function in a schema. The cast function must be given as a list with two items

Functions
Use this module to define module-based schemas or schemas with the helpers API.
- Imports struct and cast definitions from
JSV
. - Imports the
JSV.Schema.Helpers
module with thestring
,integer
,enum
, etc. helpers.
Example
defmodule MySchema do
use JSV.Schema
defschema %{
type: :object,
properties: %{
foo: string(description: "Some foo!"),
bar: integer(minimum: 100) |> with_cast(__MODULE__,:hashid),
sub: props(sub_foo: string(), sub_bar: integer()) pp
}
}
defcast hashid(bar) do
{:ok, Hashids.decode!(bar, cipher())}
end
end
@spec combine(attributes(), attributes()) :: schema()
Merges two sets of attributes into a single map. Attributes can be a keyword list or a map.
Calls the json_schema/0
function on the given module, with a fallback to the
deprecated schema/0
function if exported.
@spec merge(merge_base(), attributes()) :: schema()
Merges the given key/values into the base schema. The merge is shallow and will overwrite any pre-existing key.
This function is defined to work with the JSV.Schema.Composer
API.
The resulting schema is always a map or a struct but the actual type depends on the given base. It follows the followng rules:
When the base type is a map or a struct, it is preserved
- If the base is a
%JSV.Schema{}
struct, thevalues
are merged in. - If the base is another struct, the
values
a merged in. It will fail if the struct does not define the overriden keys. No invalid struct is generated. - If the base is a mere map, it is not turned into a
%JSV.Schema{}
struct and thevalues
are merged in.
- If the base is a
Otherwise the base is cast to a
%JSV.Schema{}
struct- If the base is
nil
, the function returns a%JSV.Schema{}
struct with the givenvalues
. - If the base is a keyword list, the list will be turned into a
%JSV.Schema{}
struct and then thevalues
are merged in.
- If the base is
Examples
iex> JSV.Schema.merge(%JSV.Schema{description: "base"}, %{type: :integer})
%JSV.Schema{description: "base", type: :integer}
defmodule CustomSchemaStruct do
defstruct [:type, :description]
end
iex> JSV.Schema.merge(%CustomSchemaStruct{description: "base"}, %{type: :integer})
%CustomSchemaStruct{description: "base", type: :integer}
iex> JSV.Schema.merge(%CustomSchemaStruct{description: "base"}, %{format: :date})
** (KeyError) struct CustomSchemaStruct does not accept key :format
iex> JSV.Schema.merge(%{description: "base"}, %{type: :integer})
%{description: "base", type: :integer}
iex> JSV.Schema.merge(nil, %{type: :integer})
%JSV.Schema{type: :integer}
iex> JSV.Schema.merge([description: "base"], %{type: :integer})
%JSV.Schema{description: "base", type: :integer}
@spec new() :: t()
Returns a new empty schema.
@spec new(t() | attributes()) :: t()
Returns a new schema with the given key/values.
@spec normalize(term()) :: %{optional(binary()) => schema_data()} | [schema_data()] | number() | binary() | boolean() | nil
Normalizes a JSON schema with the help of JSV.Normalizer.normalize/3
with
the following customizations:
JSV.Schema
structs pairs where the value isnil
will be removed.%JSV.Schema{type: :object, properties: nil, allOf: nil, ...}
becomes%{"type" => "object"}
.- Modules names that export a schema will be converted to a raw schema with a
reference to that module that can be resolved automatically by
JSV.Resolver.Internal
. - Other atoms will be checked to see if they correspond to a module name that
exports a
json_schema/0
function.
Examples
defmodule Elixir.ASchemaExportingModule do
def schema, do: %{}
end
iex> JSV.Schema.normalize(ASchemaExportingModule)
%{"$ref" => "jsv:module:Elixir.ASchemaExportingModule"}
defmodule AModuleWithoutExportedSchema do
def hello, do: "world"
end
iex> JSV.Schema.normalize(AModuleWithoutExportedSchema)
"Elixir.AModuleWithoutExportedSchema"
Returns whether the given atom is a module with a schema/0
exported
function.
Returns the given %JSV.Schema{}
as a map without keys containing
a nil
value.
@spec with_cast(merge_base(), [atom() | binary() | integer(), ...]) :: schema()
Includes the cast function in a schema. The cast function must be given as a list with two items:
- A module, as atom or string
- A tag, as atom, string or integer.
Atom arguments will be converted to string.
Examples
iex> JSV.Schema.with_cast([MyApp.Cast, :a_cast_function])
%JSV.Schema{"jsv-cast": ["Elixir.MyApp.Cast", "a_cast_function"]}
iex> JSV.Schema.with_cast([MyApp.Cast, 1234])
%JSV.Schema{"jsv-cast": ["Elixir.MyApp.Cast", 1234]}
iex> JSV.Schema.with_cast(["some_erlang_module", "custom_tag"])
%JSV.Schema{"jsv-cast": ["some_erlang_module", "custom_tag"]}
