DTDL Validator |
A code sample for validating DTDL model code |
dtdl-validator |
This project demonstrates use of the Azure Digital Twins DTDL parser, available here on NuGet. It is language-agnostic, and can be used as a command line utility to validate a directory tree of DTDL files. It also provides an interactive mode.
The source code shows examples for how to use the parser library, and can validate model documents to make sure the DTDL is valid.
The program is a command line application that can be used in normal or interactive mode.
In normal mode, specify:
- a file extension (-e, default json)
- a directory to search (-d, default '.')
- a recursive option that determines if the file search descends into subdirectories (-r, default true)
Interactive mode is entered with the -i option. Type help for information on interactive commands
- Basic use of the DTDL parser for validation of DTDL
- Basic use of the object model to access information about DTDL content (see the interactive module, in particular the list and show/showinfo commands)
Build the project and run the application from the command line.
You can also create a self-contained single-file .exe (no other files or installations required):
Run
dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true
in the root folder of the repo.
