AnyOf not supported about fast-json-stringify

[JbIPS]

I looked a bit at the code and I'm thinking of adding a case "anyOf" that will call the function again for each key.

What do you think?

Can you add a reference to the part of the JSON Schema for this?

👍 for a PR anyway.

I'm sorry, do you mean the JSON Schema spec ?

[mcollina]

Yes thanks!! a PR would be very welcome!

I created #50 (and started it with failing tests) but I'm not sure how to start the implementation. My first guess was to add a case "anyOf" that will call the function again for each key.

What do you think of that?

[mcollina]

go for it!

[JbIPS]

Worked a bit on that yesterday and I'm a bit stuck. A achieve to catch anyOf properties and iterate over the children but I can't see how I could tell to 'try' each one until one pass. I though the method $as[...] would throw errors if the type doesn't match but they don't.

Any leads?

Thanks

[mcollina]

I don’t know really. Trying multiple paths and throwing errors completely defeat the purpose of this library.

A possibility might be to use Ajv to validate all the various option, but it would be slower.

[JbIPS]

If it's noted clearly that using anyOf cannot lead to any optimization but is supported, it could worth it, don't you think?

[mcollina]

Yes definitely.

[JbIPS]

I finally had some time to work on this but I'm hitting an issue: how can I use ajv to validate the data inside the generated code? I tried to require it but require is not defined :/

[mcollina]

It should be done following this pattern: https://github.com/fastify/fast-json-stringify/blob/master/index.js#L90-L92

[JbIPS]

Thank you! First draft of my implementation ready here
