Proper way to reference schema files in same directory as root schema file? about z-schema HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @kellyrmilligan
You should load all the schemas into an array (z-schema doesn't care about the order) and then compile them in a batch. This is a sample scenario which will work, note the $ref and id attributes.

        var schemaA = {id: "schemaA", type: "integer"};
        var schemaB = {id: "schemaB", type: "string"};
        var mainSchema = {
            id: "mainSchema",
            type: "object",
            properties: {
                a: {"$ref": "schemaA"},
                b: {"$ref": "schemaB"},
                c: {"enum": ["C"]}
            }
        };

        var validator = new ZSchema();
        validator.compileSchema([schemaA, schemaB, mainSchema]).then(function () {
            return validator.validate({a: 1, b: "b", c: "C"}, mainSchema).then(function (report) {
                assert.isTrue(report.valid);
                done();
            });
        })

To your original question, there's no mechanism (and there should not be) for z-schema to search your hard-drive for other schemas which you will not feed into compile step. If you want to load all files from a certain folder, use something like this:

    function readDirToObject(dirpath) {
        var arr = [];
        fs.readdirSync(dirpath).forEach(function (fileName) {
            arr.push(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(dirpath + fileName, 'utf8')));
        });
        return arr;
    }

Hi, I have read in all the files that are in the directories with my main json file, and sent them to compile schema as you have suggested. i'm currently using callback style, and neither err or compiledSchema arguments have anything in them when I send an array of json objects to it. should they be parsed or just strings?

If err is empty it probably passed.

To be 100% sure, just check if your schema objects have __$compiled and __$validated attributes added to them, if yes, everything is fine and you can use them to validate your objects.

hi, it looks like a few things are happening, see code below:

validator.compileSchema(schemas, function (err, compiledSchema) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        console.log(compiledSchema);
    }
});
validator.compileSchema(schemas)
    .then(function (data) {
        console.log(data);
    })
    .catch(function(err){
        console.log(err);
    });

When done with promises, the err object is showing me the issue, but in callback style, the callback is never fired.however, if I send the parsed contents of 1 schema file, callback style is working just fine. it looks like if I send an array, only if I do it with promises is it working.

Secondly, and I'll send some samples in an email, I am back to the original issue.
errors:
[ { code: 'UNRESOLVABLE_REFERENCE',
message: 'Reference could not be resolved: error.json',
path: '#/',
params: [Object] },
{ code: 'UNRESOLVABLE_REFERENCE',
message: 'Reference could not be resolved: application.json',
path: '#/',
params: [Object] },
{ code: 'UNRESOLVABLE_REFERENCE',
message: 'Reference could not be resolved: document.json',
path: '#/',
params: [Object] },
{ code: 'UNRESOLVABLE_REFERENCE',
message: 'Reference could not be resolved: application-status.json',
path: '#/',
params: [Object] },
{ code: 'UNRESOLVABLE_REFERENCE',
message: 'Reference could not be resolved: eligibility-request.json',
path: '#/',
params: [Object] },
{ code: 'UNRESOLVABLE_REFERENCE',
message: 'Reference could not be resolved: eligibility-request.json',
path: '#/',
params: [Object] } ],

but all of these are in the array of files I send to compile schema call. any ideas?

@kellyrmilligan callback is never fired issue has been fixed in 2.4.4
