RAML Data Type System

This module contains a lightweight implementation of the type system that was introduced with RAML 1.0.

It allows you to to parse, validate , modify RAML types, as well as store them back to JSON.

Installation

npm install raml-typesystem --save

Usage

Parsing and validating a single type:

import ts = require("raml-typesystem")

var personType = ts.loadType( {
    type: "string[]",
    minItems:3,
    maxItems:2
})

var isValid = personType.validateType();

Parsing and validating a types collection:

import ts = require("raml-typesystem")

var typeCollection = ts.loadTypeCollection({
    types: {
        Person: {
            type: "object",
            properties:{
                kind: "string"
            }
        },
        Man: {
            type: "Person",
            discriminator: "kind"
        }
    }
})
var isValid = typeCollection.getType("Person").validateType()

Validating object against type:

import ts = require("raml-typesystem")

var typeCollection = ts.loadTypeCollection({
    types: {
        Person: {
            type: "object",
            properties:{
                kind: "string"
            }
        },
        Man: {
            type: "Person",
            discriminator: "kind"
        }
    }
})
var isValid = typeCollection.getType("Person").validate({dd: true})
