This issue is a bit tricky to describe so bear with me and please ask questions if I am missing anything...
Say you have a json object that defines a list of features, each feature has a the same three properties but has a property that has an entirely different structure. For example:
{
features: [
{
id: "feature-a",
enabled: true,
configurationData: {
featureAConfigPropertyA: {
somePrperty: "whatever",
anotherProperty: true
},
featureAConfigPropertyB: "some string"
}
},
{
id: "feature-b",
enabled: true,
configurationData: {
featureBConfigArrayPropertyA: ["some string"],
featureBConfigPropertyB: [
{
"id": "some string",
"name": "some string",
"description": "some string",
"enabled": true
}
]
}
}
]
}
The actual structure of each feature is irrelevant. I am just trying to express this via json schema whereby the structure of configurationData for each feature is dependent on or dictated by the feature id value of its parent.
EDIT: I guess technically it doesnt need to be dependent on so long as either structure of configurationData is valid schema for that property on the feature schema itself. Also, the types in configurationData arent arbitrary, they would always be one of the two types for a given feature in this example.
This however needs to be structured in a way that can be expressed via Formly as I am using this to generate forms. In this case it would be an array of ObjectFieldTypes, one for feature a and one for feature b, which would enumerate the three properties and provide Input field types, until it got to configurationData at which point it would use an ObjectFieldType again, which would now be different for each field type.
The issue here is that 1) I'm not sure how to express this in json schema and 2) I can't use things like patternProperties with formly because the properties have to be explicitly defined in the json schema in order for formly to render the field types for each property. Although patternProperties would technically be valid schema in this case, if the schema doesn't define those properties, then the model in the valueChanges observable on the FormGroup just excludes them entirely. So I would end up with:
{
features:[
{
id: "feature-a",
enabled: true,
configurationData: { }
},
{
id: "feature-b",
enabled: true,
configurationData: { }
}
]
}
I have tried the if then else construct, but I cant tell if the schema is wrong or if formly just doesn't support this. I made a stack blitz for this below:

I'm using monaco editor to edit JSON and I would like to set a custom diagnostic option.
I'm trying that https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html#extending-language-services-configure-json-defaults
// Configures two JSON schemas, with references.
var jsonCode = [
'{',
' "p1": "v3",',
' "p2": false',
"}"
].join('\n');
var modelUri = monaco.Uri.parse("a://b/foo.json"); // a made up unique URI for our model
var model = monaco.editor.createModel(jsonCode, "json", modelUri);
// configure the JSON language support with schemas and schema associations
monaco.languages.json.jsonDefaults.setDiagnosticsOptions({
validate: true,
schemas: [{
uri: "http://myserver/foo-schema.json", // id of the first schema
fileMatch: [modelUri.toString()], // associate with our model
schema: {
type: "object",
properties: {
p1: {
enum: ["v1", "v2"]
},
p2: {
$ref: "http://myserver/bar-schema.json" // reference the second schema
}
}
}
}, {
uri: "http://myserver/bar-schema.json", // id of the second schema
schema: {
type: "object",
properties: {
q1: {
enum: ["x1", "x2"]
}
}
}
}]
});
monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
model: model
});
Where does uri: "http://myserver/foo-schema.json" come from ? I just want to use default JSON schema. Not my own.
Setting uri like this works :
uri: "http://localhost:4200/assets/monaco-editor/min/vs/language/json/jsonMode.js",
But is there a clean way to set this value ? Maybe uri value for JSON is available somewhere ? I searched through monaco.languages.json.jsonDefaults but I did not find anything.
"http://myserver/foo-schema.json" is an arbitrary value-- you can make it anything you want. It only matters if you are also using enableSchemaRequest-- in which case it should point to the location that you want the schema to be fetched from-- but you're not doing that, so that doesn't matter. In fact, everything related to this URI is irrelevant to what you are trying to do, if I'm understanding your intent correctly.
When you say "I just want to use default JSON Schema, Not my own", I think what you mean to say is that you just want to ensure that it is valid JSON, right? Because, there is no such thing as "default JSON Schema"-- by definition, it is defined by you-- but there is such a thing as a formal definition of what JSON is (JSON Schema, on the other hand, assumes that you are already starting with valid JSON, and allows you to then define a schema that your (valid) JSON must conform to).
Assuming you just want to ensure it is valid JSON (but you don't care that the json conform to some custom schema), setting the language to 'json' is all you need to do and your code can be as simple as:
var myBadJSONText = '{this is not : "JSON"}'
monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('container'), {
language: 'json',
value: myBadJSONText
});
which running in the Monaco playground gives you:
I am using library for my electron app called electron-store
It has a feature to validate config data.
I want the value to be stored in config file is a string. I can achive that by define schema like this:
const schema = {
1: {
type: 'string',
},
2: {
type: 'string',
},
3: {
type: 'string',
},
4: {
type: 'string',
},
};
const store = new Store({schema});
The data in my config.json file:
{
"1": "lorem epsum...",
"2": "epsum lorem...",
"3": "epsum epsum...",
"4": "lorem lorem..."
}
The problem is I have hundreds line of datas like that, so it would be great if I could just define:
const schema = {
[any_key_name]: {
type: 'string',
},
};
I think I can use "patternProperties" when defining schema to achive it but I don't know how. help me please.
It looks like you cannot do this with electron-store as you want.
The docs say the following:
You should define your schema as an object where each key is the name
of your data's property and each value is a JSON schema used to
validate that property.
https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store#schema
This means that the root "schema" is not a JSON Schema. Only the value of each KEY is a JSON Schema.
If you want to use dynamic names, I think you would need to nest it under a specific key name, and validate that as a single object, although this is probably not what you really want to do with a store.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with electron-store specifically.
If you COULD provide a full JSON Schema for the whole store...
You can use patternProperties.
If you don't need to check the key follows any specific regex, you can use additionalProperties, which would then cover all properties not checked by properties (if present).
LEt's look at the specification: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-handrews-json-schema-validation-01#section-6.5.6
The value of "additionalProperties" MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
This keyword determines how child instances validate for objects,
and does not directly validate the immediate instance itself.
Validation with "additionalProperties" applies only to the child
values of instance names that do not match any names in "properties",
and do not match any regular expression in "patternProperties".
As a pure JSON Schema, you'd be looking at...
{
"additionalProperties": {
"type": "string"
}
}
You can easily test this using https://jsonschema.dev (link has an example for you)
Trying to figuring out how to deserialize this kind of json in talend components :
{
"ryan#toofr.com": {
"confidence":119,"email":"ryan#toofr.com","default":20
},
"rbuckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":20,"email":"rbuckley#toofr.com","default":15
},
"ryan.buckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":18,"email":"ryan.buckley#toofr.com","default":16
},
"ryanbuckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":17,"email":"ryanbuckley#toofr.com","default":17
},
"ryan_buckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":16,"email":"ryan_buckley#toofr.com","default":18
},
"ryan-buckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":15,"email":"ryan-buckley#toofr.com","default":19
},
"ryanb#toofr.com": {
"confidence":14,"email":"ryanb#toofr.com","default":14
},
"buckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":13,"email":"buckley#toofr.com","default":13
}
}
This JSON comes from the Toofr API where documentation can be found here .
Here the actual sitation :
For each line retreived in the database, I call the API and I got this (the first name, the last name and the company change everytime.
Does anyone know how to modify the tExtractJSONField (or use smthing else) to show the results in tLogRow (for each line in the database) ?
Thank you in advance !
EDIT 1:
Here's my tExtractJSONfields :
When using tExtractJSONFields with XPath, you need
1) a valid XPath loop point
2) valid XPath mapping to your structure relative to the loop path
Also, when using XPath with Talend, every value needs a key. The key cannot change if you want to loop over it. Meaning this is invalid:
{
"ryan#toofr.com": {
"confidence":119,"email":"ryan#toofr.com","default":20
},
"rbuckley#toofr.com": {
"confidence":20,"email":"rbuckley#toofr.com","default":15
},
but this structure would be valid:
{
"contact": {
"confidence":119,"email":"ryan#toofr.com","default":20
},
"contact": {
"confidence":20,"email":"rbuckley#toofr.com","default":15
},
So with the correct data the loop point might be /contact.
Then the mapping for Confidence would be confidence (the name from the JSON), the mapping for Email would be email and vice versa for default.
EDIT
JSONPath has a few disadvantages, one of them being you cannot go higher up in the hierarchy. You can try finding out the correct query with jsonpath.com
The loop expression could be $.*. I am not sure if that will satisfy your need, though - it has been a while since I've been using JSONPath in Talend because of the downsides.
I have been ingesting some complex json structures and did this via minimal json libraries, and tjava components within talend.
The problem is that in my app we have a data structure like this:
{
"adults": {
"jagger_mick_dateOfBirth": {
"name": "Mick"
"lastName": "Jagger",
"more atributes": ""
},
"jolie_angelina_dateOfBirth": : {
"name": "Angelina"
"lastName": "Jolie",
"more atributes": ""
}
},
"children": {
"osbourne_ozzy_dateOfBirth": : {
"name": "Ozzy"
"lastName": "Osbourne",
"more atributes": ""
}
}
}
As you can see, for each Adult & Children, we use a dynamic attribute to identify each object. BUT inside is the same object.
Right now I am in the process to generate JSON Schemas (v4) for this data structure.
My problem is i cannot find a property to evaluate dynamic attributes, althought the object is the same, just the key is different.
I know that it is bad coding, but it is possible to generate a JSON Schema (v4) to validate a dynamic attribute (key) ?
Thanks in advance.
P.D.
If you are wondering why we use this approach, is because we can access directly to the object, instead of search for it.
If your dynamic object attributes can be described with a regular expression, you can use patternProperties keyword.
I am new to sails.js and mongodb. I found something strange. When i use rest api to update the record in mongodb, after record updated, the json format changed.
For example. Originally I have a record like this:
{
creator: "John",
taskname: "test",
id: "53281a5d709602dc17b000cd"
}
After clicking http://127.xxx:1337/testtask/update/53281a5d709602dc17b000cd?creator=default%20creator, following json returned.
The json field is sorted in alphabetic order.
How can i keep the origin format of the json file? Is it a bug? Is there any workaround?
{
createdAt: "2014-03-18T10:05:17.052Z",
creator: "default creator",
taskname: "test",
updatedAt: "2014-03-18T10:08:53.067Z",
id: "53281a5d709602dc17b000cd"
}
Thanks.
The problem is fields in JSON objects don't have any concept of order. A JSON object is a dictionary, or in other words just some key/value pairs. This means that this JSON:
{ "a" : "some string", "b" : "other string" }
is logically equivalent to this JSON:
{ "b" : "other string", "a" : "some string" }
If you want to preserve ordering in your JSON data there are other ways to do it. For example JSON arrays do preserve order so something like this would work:
[ { "a" : "some string" }, { "b" : "other string" } ]
Internally MongoDB may actually preserve the ordering, but that's an implementation detail and you can't depend on it.
More detail on what Mongo is doing here.
Much like the "other" framework that inspired this, there is some automatic time-stamp generation happening in your models when things are updated or created. You wouldn't be the first. Ruby people have been trapped by this for years.
There are options you can define on your collection objects to remove these fields. This comes from the Waterline documentation, which should be the manager in use.
So in addition to attributes:
autoCreatedAt: false,
autoUpdatedAt: false,
attributes: {
// normal things here
},
Of course you will need to remove any of these properties that have been created in your documents manually. See the $unset operator for doing this
