Multiple types don't seem to work

[rhalff]

According to the readme I assumed I could use something like:

"type": ["string","number"]

but that doesn't seem to work, I get the following error:

Expected string,number got string

Yes, you can do this. Indeed it is documented (called "union type").

This code works with no error:

var createSchema = require('json-gate').createSchema;
schemaDef = { type: [ 'string', 'number' ] };
schema = createSchema(schemaDef);
schema.validate("hello");
schema.validate(42);

I don't know how to reproduce your error. Especially since I do not recognize the error you quoted. It looks nothing like the errors that json-gate produces. For example, if you pass an array to the above schema:

schema.validate([1, 2, 3]);

You'll get: "Error: JSON object is an array when it should be either a string or a number" As you can see the error is very different than the one you quoted.

So, how do you get that error?

This is indeed my own code rejecting it, it was introduced after I read the wiki, so I jumped to conclusions too fast.

Thanks for your time and sorry to bother you on this one.

no problem.
