JSON Schema vs TypeScript Interface

Why do we need a schema definition?

• Describe the component templates' data structure for easy backend implementation or automated validation on APIs
• Validate the demo/scaffolding data structures

Technical impacts

Development Runtime

• Validate scaffolding data structures
• Auto-Completion for scaffolding data structures

Challenge: Load schema/interface together with hbs gulp task

Distribution Styleguide (Indexr)

• Display the schema/interfaces pretty printed on each components overview

Challenge: Convert schema/interface to prettified/highlighted markup

Proof-of-concept

TypeScript Interface

JSON Schema
