Question: Support for NSSet in the JSON schema?

[oferRounds]

Hi!

Just starting to use Plank, looks awesome!

Small question: just wondering, what is the reason that NSSet is not included as one of the Schema’s Property Types?

@oferRounds - The reason mostly is that there is no JSON notation for expressing sets so currently we support arrays and dictionaries (maps) as our collections. That said, there is a property in the JSON Schema specification (unique) that we could use to generate sets.

I would expect a set to be declared like so:

some_prop: {
  type: "array",
  unique: true
}

We could infer based on this schema description that the correct type would be a set. Thoughts?

Hi @rahul-malik, thanks for your comment! I like the idea, can’t think of any better option. Just want to add that the key is uniqueItems.
