Using

Structure of JSON file is described in src/types.ts

Schema

The schema is based on GraphQL syntax.

Supported scalar types

| Type | Description | |--------|-----------------------------------| | bool | Boolean | | string | String | | i32 | Signed Integer | | f32 | Floating Point Number | | rid | Index to a Row in a Foreign Table |

The rid type is intended to be used temporarily until we know the name of foreign table.

The other type for temporary use is _, which is only allowed inside array [_]. You will find it useful if you know that a column is an array but don't know of which type (because they are all zero-length).

Defining relations

• Using a row index

  Example BaseItem: BaseItemTypes

• Using a matching value in column (like in relational databases)

  Example SkillId: ActiveSkills @ref(column: "Id")

Supported directives

| Directive | Description | |-------------------------|-------------| | @ref(column: String) | Defines a relation | | @unique | All values in a column are different | | @localized | Content of column differs depending on the language | | @file(ext: String) | Value in a column is a file path | | @files(ext: [String]) | Value in a column is a common prefix for several files (often with different extensions) | | @tags(list: [String]) | Add tags to the table as metadata that can be used by tools |
