VSCode json schema fileMatch pattern - json

Question

In VSCode, I'm trying to add a sjson schema to a project I have. My .vscode/settings.json file is this:
{
"json.schemas": [
{
"fileMatch": [
"/*.json"
],
"url": "https://path/to/url.json"
}
]
}
```
This works, but it's currently applying to all .json files in all folders in the project, which I don't want. I want it to only apply to all .json files in the root directory. What do I have to put in the fileMatch property to enable this?
Update
Have tried the following. These work, but apply to every .json file:
"/*.json"
"*.json"
These don't work at all (no .json file gets the schema):
"${workspaceFolder}/*.json"
"${workspaceFolder}*.json"
"${workspaceFolder}\\*.json"
The above 3 without the {}
The above 4 with workspaceRoot

Answer 1

I ran into something similar, but instead of wanting to add everything in the root, I wanted to add all JSON files that are in a subfolder of the workspace (root) folder.
The solution I used was to add all JSON and then exclude the ones I didn't want (including the settings file itself):
{
"json.schemas": [
{
"fileMatch": [
"*.json",
"!/.vscode/settings.json",
"!/Some.json",
"!/SomeOther.json"
],
"url": "/Schema.json"
}
]
}
The ones that needed to be excluded were just a few, so I could just name them all.
A similar approach mightwork in the original problem, with something like this:
{
"fileMatch": [
"*.json",
"!/Folder1/*.json",
"!/Folder2/*.json"
],
}
In only problem here is that VS Code doesn't seem to allow wild cards for folder names. So using Glob like matching to exclude /*/*.json or /**/*.json doesn't help, unfortunately.
