Then in your cypress Plugins file:

const {JsonSchemaValidation} = require('@jc21/cypress-jsonschema-validation');

module.exports = (on, config) => {
    // ...
    on('task', JsonSchemaValidation(config));
    // ...
    return config;
};

Cypress Usage

describe('Basic API checks', () => {
    it('Should return a valid health payload', function () {
        cy.request('/healthz').then($response => {
            cy.task('validateJsonSchema', {
                data:           $response.body,
                verbose:        true,                     // optional, default: false
                schemaFile:     './testing/schema.json',  // path or full URL, see below
                // Or you can also define the schema inline:
                schema:         {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "id": {
                            "type": "integer"
                        }
                    }
                },
            }).should('equal', null);
        });
    });
});

The Schema

You can provide the schemaFile or the schema. One of these options is required and using both will cause an error.

The schemaFile can either be a file on disk or a URL. When using a file on disk and due to the fact that this plugin runs on the Cypress Backend, the location of the file must be defined as either the full path on disk or relative path to the running of the cypress command.
