Schemas describe the communication between services in the ObserveRTC stack. The schema is manifested into different languages to make it easy to integrate ObserveRTC. Currently, the following language bindings are generated from the schema:

• TypeScript/JavaScript available as an npm library.
• Redshift to integrate reports for AWS Redshift.
• CSV when exporting reports in CSV format from the observer, the order of the columns might be important.

npm i @observertc/schemas

Schemas use SemVer version numbers of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

Increasing the number of PATCH, MINOR, or MAJOR implies the following:

• PATCH indicates a change in the related libraries (e.g., bugfix in encoder/decoder).
• MINOR the source schema has been altered.
• MAJOR implies conceptual changes in the schema.

Depending on which minor (or major) version is coming, you can write it in the discussion.

Discussion is good to request a schema, PR is better. Step to create a PR (after you cloned the repo):

1. create your branch
2. change the source of the schemas, sources/version.txt, trace the change in the sources/CHANGELOG.md.
3. Generate npm-lib typescripts (see below)
4. open the PR

To run the schema generator for npm-lib:

  git clone https://github.com/observertc/schemas && \
  cd schemas && \
  npm i && \
  node index.js
