@dvsa/cvs-type-definitions v6.4.0

cvs-type-definitions

json schema and .ts type definitions for cvs vta application

Usage

Install GitHub package:

• Ensure consuming repo is set up to install private DVSA packages by adding the following to the .npmrc file: @dvsa:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
• NOTE: in order to install private DVSA packages you will need a .npmrc file in your $PATH containing a personal access token linked to the DVSA org. You should add the token to your .npmrc file as follows:
  • //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<AUTH_TOKEN_HERE>
• install GitHub package: npm install @dvsa/cvs-type-definitions@latest

Example usage (TS types):

import { CommercialVehicleTestSchema } from @dvsa/cvs-type-definitions/types/test

Example usage (json schemas)

The package exports an isValidObject() function which can be used to validate an object against a specified schema. E.g:

import { isValidObject } from '@dvsa/cvs-type-definitions/lib/src/schema-validation/schema-validator';

const isValidVisit: boolean = isValidObject('visit', myVisitObject);

Updating a schema

Edits should only be made to json schema definitions within json-definitions directory.

TypeScript interfaces will be generated from these files and saved to types directory. De-referenced json schema definitions will be saved to json-schemas directory. Only these two directories are published in the npm package.

1. Navigate into the relevant schema (e.g. ./json-definitions/test/index.json)
2. Edit file
3. Generate the new TypeScript and de-referenced json schema definitions using npm run generate
4. Bump the version of the package using npm version {major|minor|patch}
5. Publish updates

Adding a new schema

1. Create a new subdirectory with an appropriate name within the json-defininitions directory (e.g. my-new-schema)
2. Add an index.json file to the new directory with appropriate json schema definitions
3. Add the new schema name to the schemas constant array in ./schemas.ts NOTE: this MUST match the directory name created at step 1 (my-new-schema in the example here)
4. Generate the new TypeScript definitions using npm run generate
5. Bump the version of the package using npm version {major|minor|patch}
6. Publish updates

Publishing github package

1. Raise a Pull Request on Github and await approvals
2. Once merged, publish the new package from the latest develop branch to GitHub packages using npm publish - _You must be logged in and have the correct permissions to publish to the package
