NAME

JSON::Validator::Schema - Base class for JSON::Validator schemas

SYNOPSIS

  package JSON::Validator::Schema::SomeSchema;
  use Mojo::Base "JSON::Validator::Schema";
  has specification => "https://api.example.com/my/spec.json#";
  1;

DESCRIPTION

JSON::Validator::Schema is the base class for JSON::Validator::Schema::Draft4, JSON::Validator::Schema::Draft6 and JSON::Validator::Schema::Draft7.

JSON::Validator::Schema is currently EXPERIMENTAL, and most probably will change over the next versions as https://github.com/mojolicious/json-validator/pull/189 (or a competing PR) evolves.

ATTRIBUTES

errors

  my $array_ref = $schema->errors;

Holds the errors after checking "data" against "specification". $array_ref containing no elements means "data" is valid. Each element in the array-ref is a JSON::Validator::Error object.

This attribute is not changed by "validate". It only reflects if the $schema is valid.

id

  my $str    = $schema->id;
  my $schema = $schema->id($str);

Holds the ID for this schema. Usually extracted from "$id" or "id" in "data".

moniker

  $str    = $schema->moniker;
  $schema = $self->moniker("some_name");

Used to get/set the moniker for the given schema. Will be "draft04" if "specification" points to a JSON Schema draft URL, and fallback to empty string if unable to guess a moniker name.

This attribute will (probably) detect more monikers from a given "specification" or /id in the future.

specification

  my $str    = $schema->specification;
  my $schema = $schema->specification($str);

The URL to the specification used when checking for "errors". Usually extracted from "$schema" or "schema" in "data".

METHODS

bundle

  my $bundled = $schema->bundle;

$bundled is a new JSON::Validator::Schema object where none of the "$ref" will point to external resources. This can be useful, if you want to have a bunch of files locally, but hand over a single file to a client.

  Mojo::File->new("client.json")
    ->spurt(Mojo::JSON::to_json($schema->bundle->data));

coerce

  my $schema   = $schema->coerce("booleans,defaults,numbers,strings");
  my $schema   = $schema->coerce({booleans => 1});
  my $hash_ref = $schema->coerce;

Set the given type to coerce. Before enabling coercion this module is very strict when it comes to validating types. Example: The string "1" is not the same as the number 1. Note that it will also change the internal data-structure of the validated data: Example:

  $schema->coerce({numbers => 1});
  $schema->data({properties => {age => {type => "integer"}}});

  my $input = {age => "42"};
  $schema->validate($input);
  # $input->{age} is now an integer 42 and not the string "42"

contains

See "contains" in Mojo::JSON::Pointer.

data

  my $hash_ref = $schema->data;
  my $schema   = $schema->data($bool);
  my $schema   = $schema->data($hash_ref);
  my $schema   = $schema->data($url);

Will set a structure representing the schema. In most cases you want to use "resolve" instead of "data".

get

  my $data = $schema->get($json_pointer);
  my $data = $schema->get($json_pointer, sub { my ($data, $json_pointer) = @_; });

Called with one argument, this method acts like "get" in Mojo::JSON::Pointer, while if called with two arguments it will work like "schema_extract" in JSON::Validator::Util instead:

  JSON::Validator::Util::schema_extract($schema->data, sub { ... });

The second argument can be undef(), if you don't care about the callback.

See "get" in Mojo::JSON::Pointer.

new

  my $schema = JSON::Validator::Schema->new($data);
  my $schema = JSON::Validator::Schema->new($data, %attributes);
  my $schema = JSON::Validator::Schema->new(%attributes);

Construct a new JSON::Validator::Schema object. Passing on $data as the first argument will cause "resolve" to be called, meaning the constructor might throw an exception if the schema could not be successfully resolved.

resolve

  $schema = $schema->resolve;
  $schema = $schema->resolve($data);

Used to resolve "data" or $data and store the resolved schema in "data". If $data is an $url on contains "$ref" pointing to an URL, then these schemas will be downloaded and resolved as well.

validate

  my @errors = $schema->validate($any);

Will validate $any against the schema defined in "data". Each element in @errors is a JSON::Validator::Error object.
