Does gavel have patternProperties support?

[richleland]

I'm using Dredd to run our documentation through CI and came across the following...

One of my resources returns datetimes as keys that I need to validate:

{
  "data": {
    "2013-10-14T09:00": {
      ...
    }
  }
}

I tried adding the following to the Schema section of my API blueprint doc, which allows Dredd/gavel to run, but not actually validate:

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": true,
  "properties": {
    "data": {
      "type": "object",
      "required": true,
      "patternProperties": {
        "^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$": {
          "type": "object",
          "required": true,
          ...
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I noticed that the JSON Schema spec defines a patternProperties that allows you to use a regex:

"patternProperties": {
  "^(/[^/]+)+$": {}
},

Does gavel support patternProperties? I ack'd the code and didn't see it. Happy to contribute, but just wanted to make sure gavel doesn't already handle this type of validation in some other way.

Hi,

Gavel is using Amanda validator and its JSON Schema implementation. Amanda should support complete feature set from draft v3, I guess. Have a look at this Amanda doc: https://github.com/Baggz/Amanda/blob/master/docs/json/comparison.md

If you will face any other issue with Gavel or Dredd, I'm happy to help.
