YAML Schema

To create a YAML Schema file of your entity, choose the menu Tools > Forward Engineering > YAML Schema:

 

 

then select the directory path and file name.

 

The YAMLSchema for the entity can also be viewed in the left-hand pane of the JSON Preview tab:

 

 

Several important options are available:
1) YAML Schema compliance:

• standard: only YAML Schema keywords and data types are used -- this output should pass validation with standard validators
• full: custom keywords are also listed for a full view of the schema, but only standard YAML data types are used -- this output should pass validation as long as additionalProperties are set to true
• extended: data types are specific to the target of the model, plus internal properties and keywords are also listed.

 

 

2) Definitions:

• referenced: definitions are referenced as described in the model, using $ref syntax
• resolved:: definitions are resolved to list the content of the reference.
• internal: references to external and model definitions are converted into internal definitions
