An Action that validates any JSON files in your project against JSON schemas that are also in your project. This action uses the Ajv project to compile schemas and validate JSON using the 07 draft of the JSON schema.

This action currently doesn't support file globs; you must pair any JSON files against the schema you want to use for validation for each file.

You need to use the actions/checkout action so the validation code can read your JSON files.

Rules

1. The key-and-file list should always be equal to or longer than the key-and-schema list
2. You can reference the same schema key in multiple key-and-file entries
3. For each key, you must have at least one file and one schema

This input is a space-delimited string of keys and JSON files. The format is key:file, where the key is used to pair against the keys used in the key-and-schema input.

Example

- uses: ewilliams-zoot/jsv-action@v1
  with:
    key-and-file: 'user:files/json/user.json accounts:files/json/accounts.json'

This input takes in the same format as the key-and-file input but references the JSON schemas you want to use to validate the JSON files in the key-and-file list.

Building on Example

- uses: ewilliams-zoot/jsv-action@v1
  with:
    key-and-file: 'user:files/json/user.json accounts:files/json/accounts.json'
    key-and-schema: 'user:files/schemas/user_schema.json accounts:files/schemas/account_schema.json'

This action does not have any outputs.

Note: you do not have to have your keys in the same order in both lists. The keys are added to a hashmap, so the order doesn't matter.

name: Validate My JSON
on: [push]
jobs:
  validate-json-files:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: ewilliams-zoot/jsv-action@v1
        with:
          key-and-file: 'users:users.json accounts:accounts.json'
          key-and-schema: 'accounts:account_schema.json users:user_schema.json'

Note how there are two files in the key-and-file list that reference the person key. If files share the same schema, you can save typing in the key-and-schema list. Hopefully soon I'll get to supporting globs to save even more typing.
