JSON Schema for app.json?

Tombo

Hey guys,

Searched the forums, but haven't really found an answer on this. Is there already a JSON schema (http://json-schema.org/) for the app.json file?

If not I'll whip one together :-)

Cheers
Tom

            "importance": 0.6,
            "synonyms": {
                "en": [ "hello", "hi", "hey" ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

Yup, indeed. But that's a basic app.
Do you mean there is none yet?

A JSON schema could ease writing app.json's, as editors (intelli j, webstorm, vs code, vs, ..) provide intellisense for files. :-)

As far as i known, this is all there is....

That json is not complete. It misses flows and such. I think it's best to scroll through the api's an whip one yourself. Would be great to have one 

Tombo

Hey guys,

So I created one myself :-)



Some remarks on this:

• To use it, just add the property "$schema" in the root object and as value: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tmsns/homey-json-schema/master/schema.json"
  You can also download it locally.
• Supported IDE's: (that I know of)
  • Visual Studio
  • Visual Studio Code
  • WebStorm
  • IntelliJ IDEA
• This is a first version. I'll try to update it as I can.
  • the basic structure should be there (based myself on the apps better-logic and kodi)
  • a small set of properties have gotten full descriptions
  • enums and advanced patterns are not added yet
• To Athom, feel free to copy the schema in your own repository. It would be better to have something like:
  https://schemas.athom.com/app/v1/schema.json
• To other dev's, it's a GitHub repo. https://github.com/tmsns/homey-json-schema So, if you see issues, feel free to submit pull requests.

Cheers
Tom

I've tried googling for it but could not find anything.
Where should I create the property?

DaneeDeKruyff

It's in the screenshot, the first line. (Actualy line nr 2 to be correct)

RobinVanKekem

I'm truly sorry. Didn't see the screenshot before!

Found all the permissions which Homey has:

https://github.com/athombv/node-homey-lib/blob/51d2e942ba574aef46e4d560e2df580136d4b88d/lib/permissions/permissions.json

Awesome initiative! Definitely going to use this! 

Tombo

Thx Robin. Let's fire up Code and add it. :-)

edit: done! I'll take a look at this node-homey-lib repo to see if I can find other elements to (better) support a well.

@RobinVanKekem wat is the status of this? Is it compatible with the latest firmwares?

RobinVanKekem

Don't know, Tombo made it...

That json is not complete yet. Flows and such missed. Wanted to know the status...
