ramldt2jsonschema Quick Start (js2dt)

ramldt2jsonschema on Github

ramldt2jsonschema is both a CLI tool and a Library that can convert a RAML DataType to a JSON Schema, and vice-versa.

Let’s start with a JSON Schema, we’ll use one from json-schema.org:

$ curl http://json-schema.org/example/calendar.json >calendar.json

Download ramldt2jsonschema and js-yaml for manipulating YAML:

$ npm install --save ramldt2jsonschema js-yaml

Now let’s write a small node app that outputs two RAML files out of that JSON Schema:

and using the CLI can produce a similar output:

$ npm install -g ramldt2jsonschema
(...)
$ js2dt calendar.json >calendar_datatype.raml
