Property Validation: pattern #21

Open
@everettraven

Description

@everettraven

The pattern constraint on a property puts a restriction on the value of a property based on a regular expression.

It is non-trivial to determine whether or not a change to a regular expression is more/less restrictive via code, but generally we should at the very least flag changes to the pattern constraint so that a human-in-the-loop can evaluate and determine whether or not the change is safe to make.

More nuanced:

  • Adding a pattern when one did not previously exist is a breaking change.
  • Changing a pattern could be a breaking change.
  • Removing a pattern is less restrictive and likely an OK change to make.
