Schema

The Schema Guide is sequenced by default for "practical use": basic information that will let you be productive quickly. You'll have a solid grasp of what's possible just reading the first few guides and poking at the examples.

• You'll be making frequent use of the provided base schemas.
• You need to know how to define structure using child properties.
• The value processor pipelines are the ticket to schema customization.
• Dive into advanced topics like unions, selectors, and commands.

If you prefer to understand things from first principles,

• Read about the architecture and the abstract "mental model"
• Debate the rationale of Yet Another Schema.
• Be amused by the schema compilation process.

The Configurator uses the schema for two purposes:

• process maps of property path assignments (dotted hierarchical property names with values) produced by configuration sources.
• validate a candidate configuration object

Each concept is described separately.

For the following sections, we'll assume we've done this:

import { Schema } from '@versionzero/configurator';

const schema = new Schema('object');
