schema.org-type-validator
A type validator for schema.org as a node.js module
Installation
If you're using node.js, install it via npm thusly:
$ npm install schema.org-type-validator
Example Usage
Include the module in your project, and create a Validator:
var schemaTypeValidation = require('schema.org-type-validator');
var validator = new schemaTypeValidation.Validator ();
The Validator uses a Stardog triple store with the schema.org loaded into it. It assumes that you have one running on 127.0.0.1 with a database called 'schema'. You can change this if you need to, like this:
validator.endpoint = 'http://127.0.0.1:5822/';
validator.username = 'admin';
validator.password = 'admin';
validator.database = 'schema';
validator.configureConnection();
Here's what you can do:
Get all the properties of a type:
validator.getProperties('CreativeWork', function (err, result) {
for (var prop = 0; prop < result.length; prop ++)
console.log(result[prop]);
});
Get a list of expected types for a property:
validator.getExpectedTypes('aggregateRating', function (err, result) {
for (var type = 0; type < result.length; type ++)
console.log(result[type]);
});
Check if a given property is a valid property of a type:
validator.checkIsValidProperty('CreativeWork', 'copyrightHolder',
function (err, result) {
var word = ((result) ? 'is' : 'is not');
console.log('copyrightHolder ' + word +
' a property of CreativeWork');
}
);
Check if a given type is valid for a property:
validator.checkIsExpectedType('copyrightHolder', 'Place',
function (err, result) {
var word = ((result) ? 'is' : 'is not');
console.log('Place ' + word +
' a valid type for a copyrightHolder');
}
);
