    Interface IReference

    Reference to a named schema definition.

    Points to a schema defined in the $defs map using a JSON pointer. Used to avoid schema duplication and enable recursive type definitions. The reference path format is #/$defs/TypeName.

    interface IReference {
        $ref: string;
        deprecated?: boolean;
        description?: string;
        example?: any;
        examples?: Record<string, any>;
        readOnly?: boolean;
        title?: string;
        writeOnly?: boolean;
    }

    Properties

    $ref: string

    JSON pointer to the referenced schema.

    Must be in the format #/$defs/TypeName where TypeName is a key in the parent schema's $defs map.

    deprecated?: boolean

    Whether this type is deprecated.

    When true, indicates the type should no longer be used and may be removed in future versions. Set via the @deprecated JSDoc tag.

    description?: string

    Detailed description of the schema.

    Full documentation for the type, explaining its purpose, constraints, and usage. Extracted from JSDoc comment body. Supports markdown formatting in many JSON Schema consumers.

    example?: any

    Single example value for the schema.

    A representative value that conforms to the schema, useful for documentation and testing. Set via the @example JSDoc tag.

    examples?: Record<string, any>

    Named example values for the schema.

    Multiple examples as key-value pairs, where keys are example names and values are conforming data. Useful for showing different valid states or edge cases.

    readOnly?: boolean

    Whether the property is read-only.

    When true, the property should not be modified by clients and is typically set by the server. Useful for generated IDs, timestamps, etc.

    title?: string

    Short title for the schema.

    A brief, human-readable name for the type. Typically extracted from the first line of a JSDoc comment or the @title tag.

    writeOnly?: boolean

    Whether the property is write-only.

    When true, the property is accepted on input but never returned in responses. Common for sensitive data like passwords.
