json-schema-fns

Modern utility library and typescript typings for building JSON Schema documents dynamically

Features

  • Build JSON Schema documents for various drafts (currently only draft-2020-12 but more coming soon)
  • Strongly typed documents using Typescript
  • Allows you to build correct JSON Schema documents using dynamic data

Usage

Create a simple draft-2020-12 document:

import { s } from "json-schema-fns";

const schema = s.object({
  properties: [s.requiredProperty("foo", s.string()), s.property("bar", s.int())],
});

schema.toSchemaDocument();

Will result in

{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema#",
  "$id": "https://jsonhero.io/schemas/root.json",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "foo": { "type": "string" },
    "bar": { "type": "integer" }
  },
  "required": ["foo"]
}

You can also import the types for a specific draft to use, like so:

import { s, Schema, IntSchema, StringSchema, StringFormat } from "json-schema-fns";

function buildIntSchema(maximum: number, minimum: number): IntSchema {
  return s.int({ minimum, maximum });
}

function buildStringFormat(format: JSONStriStringFormatgFormat): StringSchema {
  return s.string({ format });
}

json-schema-fns support all the features of JSON schema:

import { s } from "json-schema-fns";

const phoneNumber = s.def("phoneNumber", s.string({ pattern: "^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$" }));
const usAddress = s.def(
  "usAddress",
  s.object({
    properties: [s.requiredProperty("zipCode", s.string())],
  }),
);

const ukAddress = s.def(
  "ukAddress",
  s.object({
    properties: [s.requiredProperty("postCode", s.string())],
  }),
);

s.object({
  $id: "/schemas/person",
  title: "Person Profile",
  description: "Attributes of a person object",
  examples: [
    {
      name: "Eric",
      email: "eric@stackhero.dev",
    },
  ],
  $comment: "This is just a preview",
  default: {},
  properties: [
    s.requiredProperty("name", s.string()),
    s.property("email", s.string({ format: "email" })),
    s.property("phoneNumber", s.ref("phoneNumber")),
    s.property("billingAddress", s.oneOf(s.ref("ukAddress"), s.ref("usAddress"))),
    s.patternProperty("^[A-Za-z]$", s.string()),
  ],
  additionalProperties: s.array({
    items: s.number({ minimum: 0, maximum: 5000 }),
  }),
  propertyNames: "^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$",
  minProperties: 3,
  maxProperties: 20,
  unevaluatedProperties: false,
  defs: [phoneNumber, usAddress, ukAddress],
}).toSchemaDocument();

Will result in

API

s

All the builder methods for creating subschemas are available on the s object

import { s } from "json-schema-fns";

Or if you want to import a specific dialect:

import { s } from "json-schema-fns/2020";

All builder methods return a SchemaBuilder, and you can generate the JSON schema created by the builder using toSchemaDocument like so

s.object().toSchemaDocument();

Which will result in the following document

{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
  "type": "object"
}

If you don't want the $schema property, use toSchema instead:

s.object().toSchema(); // { "type": "object" }

All builder methods also support the options in AnnotationSchema:

s.object({
  $id: "#/foobar",
  $comment: "This is a comment",
  default: {},
  title: "FooBar Object Schema",
  description: "This is the FooBar schema description",
  examples: [{ foo: "bar" }],
  deprecated: true,
  readOnly: true,
  writeOnly: false,
}).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "$id": "#/foobar",
  "$comment": "This is a comment",
  "default": {},
  "title": "FooBar Object Schema",
  "description": "This is the FooBar schema description",
  "examples": [{ "foo": "bar" }],
  "deprecated": true,
  "readOnly": true,
  "writeOnly": false
}

s.object(options: ObjectOptions)

Builds a schema of type object, accepting a single argument of type ObjectOptions

ObjectOptions.properties

An array of optional and required properties

s.object({
  properties: [
    s.property("name", s.string()),
    s.requiredProperty("email", s.string({ format: "email" })),
  ],
}).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": { "type": "string" },
    "email": { "type": "string", "format": "email" }
  },
  "required": ["email"]
}

You can also add patternProperties

s.object({ properties: [s.patternProperty("^S_", s.string())] }).toSchema();

which produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "patternProperties": {
    "^S_": { "type": "string" }
  }
}

ObjectOptions.additonalProperties

Add an additonalProperties schema:

s.object({ additionalProperties: s.number() }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "additionalProperties": {
    "type": "number"
  }
}

ObjectOptions.propertyNames

Add a propertyNames pattern:

s.object({ propertyNames: "^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$" }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "propertyNames": {
    "pattern": "^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$"
  }
}

ObjectOptions.minProperties and ObjectOptions.maxProperties

Validate the number of properties in an object using min/maxProperties

s.object({ minProperties: 4, maxProperties: 10 }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "minProperties": 4,
  "maxProperties": 10
}

ObjectOptions.unevaluatedProperties

Specify the handling of unevaluatedProperties

s.object({ unevaluatedProperties: false }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "unevaluatedProperties": false
}

s.array(options: ArrayOptions)

Builds a schema of type array, accepting a single argument of type ArrayOptions

ArrayOptions.items

Define the items schema for an array:

s.array({ items: s.string() }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "items": { "type": "string" }
}

ArrayOptions.minItems and ArrayOptions.maxItems

Define the array length

s.array({ contains: { schema: s.number(), min: 1, max: 3 }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "contains": { "type": "number" },
  "minContains": 1,
  "maxContains": 3
}

ArrayOptions.prefixItems

Allows you to perform tuple validation:

s.array({ prefixItems: [s.string(), s.number()] }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "prefixItems": [{ "type": "string" }, { "type": "number" }]
}

ArrayOptions.unevaluatedItems

Define the schema for unevaluatedItems

s.array({ unevaluatedItems: s.object() }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "unevaluatedItems": { "type": "object" }
}

ArrayOptions.contains

Define the schema contains

s.array({ contains: { schema: s.number(), min: 1, max: 3 }).toSchema();

Produces the schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "contains": { "type": "number" },
  "minContains": 1,
  "maxContains": 3
}
