Inventory

This part provides a specification for the inventory.

It is used for design phase and as validation helper.

Cue is less verbose and easier to understand and maintain than json-schema. Json-schema, if needed can be easily generated on-the fly.

Checking validity

Directly check a json against the schema

cue vet inventory.json root.cue -d '#Root'

Export the json-schema i.e. for usage in python / javascript / nix

cue export --out openapi root.cue

Comments are rendered as descriptions in the json schema.

// A name of the clan (primarily shown by the UI)
name: string

Cue open sets. In the following foo = {...} means that the key foo can contain any arbitrary json object.

foo: { ... }

Cue dynamic keys.

[string]: {
    attr: string
}

This is the schema of

{
    "a": {
        "attr": "foo"
    },
    "b": {
        "attr": "bar"
    }
    // ... Indefinitely more dynamic keys of type "string"
}
