1.2.4: Update Configuration For Consolidated Entity Validation

by ADMIN 63 views

Overview

In this article, we will walk through the process of updating the configuration service (StaticConfiguration) to reflect the consolidation of entity validation under entity.schema.json and remove references to deprecated schemas. This update is a crucial step in the consolidation of entity validation with generic component schema, as outlined in Ticket 1.2: Consolidate Entity Validation with Generic Component Schema.

Goal

The primary goal of this update is to modify the StaticConfiguration service to correctly reflect the consolidation of entity validation under entity.schema.json. This involves updating the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map, the SCHEMA_FILES array, and reviewing the StaticConfiguration methods to ensure they correctly use the updated internal constants.

Tasks

Locate Configuration

To begin, we need to locate the configuration service (StaticConfiguration) in the codebase. This can be done by opening the src/core/services/staticConfiguration.js file.

Identify Entity Schema ID

Next, we need to identify the $id value defined within entity.schema.json. This can be done by opening the entity.schema.json file and locating the $id value. For example, the $id value might be http://example.com/schemas/entity.schema.json.

Update CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS Map

We need to update the entry for items in the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map to point to the $id of entity.schema.json. This can be done by modifying the value of the items entry from http://example.com/schemas/item.schema.json to the $id of entity.schema.json.

Similarly, we need to update the entry for locations in the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map to point to the $id of entity.schema.json. This can be done by modifying the value of the locations entry from http://example.com/schemas/location.schema.json to the $id of entity.schema.json.

Verify Entity and Connection References

We need to verify that entities and potentially connections, blockers already point to the $id of entity.schema.json. If they do not, we need to adjust them accordingly based on how those entity types are defined and loaded.

Update SCHEMA_FILES Array

We need to remove 'item.schema.json' and 'location.schema.json' from the SCHEMA_FILES array. We also need to add the filenames of any new dedicated component schema files created in Tickets 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 (e.g., 'item-component.schema.json', 'usable.schema.json', 'equippable.schema.json'). Ensure these new files are actually needed by the schema loader (i.e., they are referenced by other schemas or directly used).

Review StaticConfiguration Methods

We need to briefly review the methods (getContentTypeSchemaId, getSchemaFiles, etc.) to ensure they correctly use the updated internal constants (#contentTypeSchemas, #schemaFiles). No changes should be needed to the methods themselves.

Commit Changes

Finally, we need to commit the modified staticConfiguration.js file with a clear message (e.g., "Refactor(Config): Update config for consolidated entity validation (Ticket 1.2.4)").

Verification

To verify that the update was successful, we need to check the following:

  • In staticConfiguration.js, CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS points to the entity schema ID.
  • In staticConfiguration.js, CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS.locations points to the entity schema ID.
  • The SCHEMA_FILES array no longer contains item.schema.json or location.schema.json.
  • The SCHEMA_FILES array contains any new component schema filenames created earlier.

By following these steps and verifying the update, we can ensure that the configuration service (StaticConfiguration) correctly reflects the consolidation of entity validation under entity.schema.json and removes references to deprecated schemas.

Benefits

The benefits of this update include:

  • Improved code organization and structure
  • Reduced complexity and dependencies
  • Enhanced maintainability and scalability
  • Better alignment with the consolidation of entity validation with generic component schema

Conclusion

Frequently Asked Questions

In this article, we will address some of the frequently asked questions related to the update of the configuration service (StaticConfiguration) to reflect the consolidation of entity validation under entity.schema.json and remove references to deprecated schemas.

Q: What is the purpose of this update?

A: The primary purpose of this update is to modify the StaticConfiguration service to correctly reflect the consolidation of entity validation under entity.schema.json. This involves updating the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map, the SCHEMA_FILES array, and reviewing the StaticConfiguration methods to ensure they correctly use the updated internal constants.

Q: What changes are required in the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map?

A: We need to update the entry for items in the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map to point to the $id of entity.schema.json. Similarly, we need to update the entry for locations in the CONTENT_TYPE_SCHEMAS map to point to the $id of entity.schema.json.

Q: What changes are required in the SCHEMA_FILES array?

A: We need to remove 'item.schema.json' and 'location.schema.json' from the SCHEMA_FILES array. We also need to add the filenames of any new dedicated component schema files created in Tickets 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 (e.g., 'item-component.schema.json', 'usable.schema.json', 'equippable.schema.json').

Q: What is the significance of verifying entity and connection references?

A: We need to verify that entities and potentially connections, blockers already point to the $id of entity.schema.json. If they do not, we need to adjust them accordingly based on how those entity types are defined and loaded.

Q: What is the purpose of reviewing the StaticConfiguration methods?
