Function

Restricts which of the basic types the instance may be. A string restricts to a single type, an array of strings ensures the instance is one of several types.

Valid Values

Must be a string, or array of strings.

Examples

schema = { "type": "null" }

assertValid(null)

assertInvalid(0)
assertInvalid("")

schema = { "type": "number" }

assertValid(0)
assertValid(1)

assertInvalid("0")
assertInvalid(true)

schema = { "type": "array" }

assertValid([])
assertValid([1])

assertInvalid(1)
assertInvalid({})

schema = { "type": ["array", "object"] }
