Provide JSON Schema for config file

[mikaello]

To enhance the developer experience and facilitate validation of config in CI/CD pipelines, it would have been nice if it were a JSON Schema to validate the config against. Given a schema, the config file could be validated with e.g. yajsv:

yajsv -s artifactory-cleanup-schema.yaml artifactory-cleanup.yaml

Users of VSCode with the YAML extension (or IntelliJ users natively) could have added this at the top of their config to get auto-complete and documentation:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devopshq/artifactory-cleanup/master/artifactory-cleanup-schema.yaml

(see blog-post about this extension for more info)

Here is a start for such a JSON Schema:

---
"$schema": http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#
type: object
properties:
  artifactory-cleanup:
    type: object
    properties:
      server:
        type: string
        format: uri
      user:
        type: string
      password:
        type: string
      policies:
        type: array
        items:
          type: object
          properties:
            name:
              type: string
            rules:
              type: array
              description:
                See all rules in
                https://github.com/devopshq/artifactory-cleanup#rules
              items:
                type: object
                properties:
                  rule:
                    type: string
                  name:
                    type: string
                  days:
                    type: integer
                  count:
                    type: integer
                  property_key:
                    type:
                      - integer
                      - string
                  property_value:
                    type:
                      - integer
                      - string
                  custom_regexp:
                    type: string
                  masks:
                    type: array
                    items:
                      type: string
                required:
                  - rule
                additionalProperties: true
          required:
            - name
            - rules
    required:
      - server
      - user
      - password
      - policies
required:
  - artifactory-cleanup

I like the idea!

The problem that I've met before with JSON schema - it doesn't support types based on property value.
For instance

• the rule Repo only allows field repo
• PropertyEq - fields property_key and property_value

- rule: Repo
  name: repo.snapshot

- rule: PropertyEq
  property_key: key-name
  property_value: 1

We need to look at rule value to determine the applied schema for the object.

While I was typing it, I found recent solution for that - https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/conditionals.html.

Feel free to contribute such generator!
I think we shouldn't contribute just a single json-schema, but provide a script for these who created their own rules.
