JsonSchema type should allow arrays and not only object

[rickydidaravong]

File: objects.ts

Issue: JsonSchema currently only allows just 'object' as a type, but if a json response returns an array of objects. The only type that can be validated is just 'object' therefore the type would return an error for the wrong type.

@bahmutov please advise

We forked and made this change to the object.ts:

export type JsonSchema = {
title: string
type: JsonPropertyTypes
description?: string
properties?: JsonProperties
items?: JsonProperty
patternProperties?: object
// which properties are MUST have
required?: string[] | true
// does the schema allow unknown properties?
additionalProperties: boolean
deprecated?: string
}

Would this be a optimal approach in your opinion?

I know this is stale, but I'm having exactly the same issue.

The JsonSchema.type should not be limited to object. I need the solution that @dtranVAMP is suggesting. I can issue a PR if that helps, but I don't want to waste my time if no one is looking at this.

I would love it - I have multiple responses that are an array of objects

We've worked around this on my team by asserting that the response is an array and then using the schema in a loop to check the contents of the array.
