Helpful for code editors, IDEs, and validators to make sure render.yaml values are valid, especially for devs where autocomplete will benefit much.

We have published a JSON schema definition for render.yaml files at https://render.com/schema/render.yaml.json

robdimarco Great! Will you also be updating the docs?

robdimarco

There is one issue I found: The postgresMajorVersion key should accept an integer, while the schema expects a string

As in examples here: https://docs.render.com/blueprint-spec

Syngeos Developer

This has been fixed in docs in meanwhile

The work required to implement this feature is trivial. All we need is a public Github gist of the JSON schema file that is used to validate the render.yaml files already. Happy to help with this.

any news?

Here's a JSON schema generated by GPT-4 by giving it the sample YAML from https://render.com/docs/yaml-spec.

Not fool proof, but it's a start!

This doesn't seem like a huge ask? I would assume you'd have to have a schema already. https://joshuaavalon.io/intellisense-json-yaml-vs-code

with VS Code you get intellisense off the schema too.

I started working on a schema, but don't have to time to bring it to perfection. I would also transfer ownership if needed.
