Creating a Schema

Why use a `Schema`?

Schemas are the key to providing predictable data, autocomplete and type-checking in your ActiveClasses.

Writing a basic `Schema`

Let's say that we want to model a user. Here's how we might do it.

JavaScript
TypeScript

import { Schema } from 'fireactive'

const userSchema = {
  name: Schema.string,  // users must have a name
  age: Schema.number({ optional: true }), // age is optional
  role: Schema.enum(['admin', 'basic']), // role must be 'admin' or 'basic'
  isVerified: Schema.boolean({ default: false }) // defaults to false
}

Schema fields are all required, unless explicitly passed either { optional: true } or { required: false } as options.

Now you've written a Schema, you're ready to create your first Fireactive ActiveClass!
