This is the schema:

Copy code

{
    "name": "onde_col_week",
    "enable_nested_fields": True,
    "fields": [
        {
            "name": "id",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "title",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "description",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "url",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "start_time",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {

                }                
            ]

You can parse them safely using https://zod.dev/. Fully type-safe and ensuring you have the right schema from the API

Yeah I was trying yo just get started quickly in the browser hehe. But I’m already using valibot to parse the schema right now.

You can't have a

fields

within a field definition like this:

Copy code

{
            "name": "host",
            "optional": True,
            "type": "object[]",
            "fields": [
                {
                    "name": "name",
                    "type": "string"
                },
                {
                    "name": "linkedin",
                    "type": "string"
                },
                {
                    "name": "instagram",
                    "type": "string"
                },
                {
                    "name": "twitter",
                    "type": "string"
                }                
            ]
        },

To define types for the children of the

host

object array, you have to define them in a flat manner, like this:

Copy code

"fields" [
  {"name": "host", "type": "object[]"},
  {"name": "host.name", "type": "string[]"},
  {"name": "host.linkedin", "type": "string[]"}
]

We have to use

string[]

since fields within an object array are stored as arrays.
