resolve-schema-values

Resolve values based on a JSON schema. Supports conditionals and composition. Useful for configuration, preferences, LLM chat completions, etc.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save resolve-schema-values

What is this?

A JSON Schema resolver and validator that transforms and verifies data based on a provided JSON Schema. It combines value resolution (providing defaults, handling conditionals, and managing complex compositions) with strict validation (enforcing types, formats, and constraints) to ensure data consistency and correctness.

Why another JSON Schema library?

This library focuses on resolution of data, versus validation only. You can use any validation library, then use this one to resolve values.

Note that this library is not a full JSON Schema validator and does not resolve $refs, but rather a value resolver that can be used in conjunction with a validator to provide a more complete solution.

Usage and Examples

import { resolveValues } from 'resolve-schema-values';

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    username: {
      type: 'string',
      default: 'jonschlinkert'
    },
    company: {
      type: 'string'
    }
  }
};

const data = { company: 'Sellside' };
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value); // { username: 'jonschlinkert', company: 'Sellside' }

Conditional Schema Resolution

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    userType: { type: 'string' }
  },
  if: {
    properties: { userType: { const: 'business' } }
  },
  then: {
    properties: {
      taxId: { type: 'string', default: 'REQUIRED' },
      employees: { type: 'number', default: 0 }
    }
  },
  else: {
    properties: {
      personalId: { type: 'string', default: 'REQUIRED' }
    }
  }
};

const data = { userType: 'business' };
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value);
// {
//   userType: 'business',
//   taxId: 'REQUIRED',
//   employees: 0
// }

Composition with allOf

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  allOf: [
    {
      properties: {
        name: { type: 'string', default: 'Unnamed' }
      }
    },
    {
      properties: {
        age: { type: 'number', default: 0 }
      }
    }
  ]
};

const data = {};
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value); // { name: 'Unnamed', age: 0 }

Pattern Properties

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  patternProperties: {
    '^field\\d+$': {
      type: 'string',
      default: 'empty'
    }
  }
};

const data = {
  field1: undefined,
  field2: undefined,
  otherField: undefined
};

const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value);
// {
//   field1: 'empty',
//   field2: 'empty',
//   otherField: undefined
// }

Dependent Schemas

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    creditCard: { type: 'string' }
  },
  dependentSchemas: {
    creditCard: {
      properties: {
        billingAddress: { type: 'string', default: 'REQUIRED' },
        securityCode: { type: 'string', default: 'REQUIRED' }
      }
    }
  }
};

const data = { creditCard: '1234-5678-9012-3456' };
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value);
// {
//   creditCard: '1234-5678-9012-3456',
//   billingAddress: 'REQUIRED',
//   securityCode: 'REQUIRED'
// }

Array Items Resolution

const schema = {
  type: 'array',
  items: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      id: { type: 'number' },
      status: { type: 'string', default: 'pending' }
    }
  }
};

const data = [
  { id: 1 },
  { id: 2 },
  { id: 3 }
];
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value);
// [
//   { id: 1, status: 'pending' },
//   { id: 2, status: 'pending' },
//   { id: 3, status: 'pending' }
// ]

OneOf with Type Validation

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    value: {
      oneOf: [
        { type: 'number' },
        { type: 'string', pattern: '^\\d+$' }
      ],
      default: 0
    }
  }
};

const data = { value: '123' };
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value);
// { value: '123' }  // Validates as it matches the string pattern

const invalidData = { value: 'abc' };
const invalidResult = await resolveValues(schema, invalidData);
if (!invalidResult.ok) {
  console.log('Validation failed:', invalidResult.errors);
} else {
  console.log(invalidResult.value);
  // { value: 0 }  // Falls back to default as it matches neither schema
}

Additional Properties with Schema

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    name: { type: 'string' }
  },
  additionalProperties: {
    type: 'string',
    default: 'additional'
  }
};

const data = {
  name: 'John',
  customField1: undefined,
  customField2: undefined
};
const result = await resolveValues(schema, data);
console.log(result.value);
// {
//   name: 'John',
//   customField1: 'additional',
//   customField2: 'additional'
// }
