struct.js

Structure, Struct, or 'struct.js' is designed to help define, from design; structured data.

Description

Avoiding adding a personal, or otherwise opinionated, method of implementation; struct uses jsonschema.

The goal of the project is to provide a simple, logical, implementation of my structures in JavaScript.

Upon defining a jsonschema compliant schema object, you can use struct to; define, and maintain, your objects.

Dependencies (User Injected)

• jsonschema

IMPORTANT: I've chosen to not include any dependencies by default in this project, though the actual library itself requires jsonschema. Instead; I have been using a 'personal?' method of implementation, likely incorrectly referred to as injection.

You must ensure you manually import, then inject at definition, the jsonschema object.

Development Dependencies

• babel-cli
• babel-core
• babel-jest
• babel-preset-env
• cross-env
• eslint
• jest
• jsonschema (TESTS - Please ensure you read as above)

Contributions

Are welcome.

I personally prefer the semistandard coding requirement (';'). It's hot topic at times. There were very specific conditions in which the ';' alone were NOT optional, however; none to the contrary.

Insert example here.. when I find it again.. Used to be on standard.js homepage

How To

Install

Due to name conflicts, I have not been able to publish this package to npm.

The remaining method is to include the package from github. I understand if you chose not to use this module for that very reason - however; This module was born out of need due to work on another project. The parent project has my attention at the moment.

$ npm install https://github.com/dmblack/struct.js.git

Include in your project

import { struct } from struct.js;

Basic Use

Ensure you have your jsonschema installed, and imported;

$ npm install jsonschema

import { jsonschema } from jsonschema;

Define one, or more, jsonschema compliant schema.

const schema = {
  "id": "/TestSchema",
  "type": "object",
  "additionalProperties": true,
  "properties": {
    "array": { "default": [1, 2, 3, 4], "type": "array" },
    "boolean": { "default": true, "type": "boolean" },
    "date": { "default": new Date().toISOString(), "type": "string", "format": "date-time" },
    "integer": { "default": 0, "type": "integer" },
    "string": { "default": "abc", "type": "string" }
  },
  "required": ["array", "boolean", "date", "integer", "string"]
};

Create a factory that allows building structures.

const structure = struct(Object.assign({}, { 'jsonschema': jsonschema }, { 'schema': schema }));

Due to changes in deployment method, naming conflicts on npm, my setup procedure may be minorly incomplete. Reasons, again; explained above.
