SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CUE schemas provide a formal, well-typed foundation for validating and parsing configuration data, enabling consistent behavior across Invowk projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized schema definitions for Invowk's invkfile_schema.cue, invkmod_schema.cue, and config_schema.cue
  • Clear 3-step parsing flow (compile, unify, decode) with robust error formatting
  • Seamless integration with Go structs through decoding of unified data
  • Use cases include validating configuration, module requirements, and runtime configuration

Quick Start

Edit a *.cue schema file and apply the 3-step flow to compile the schema, unify user data, and decode it into Go structs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate and parse configuration data using CUE schemas in Go?

Validate and parse configuration data by applying a three-step workflow: compile the CUE schema, unify user data, and decode it into Go structs. This enforces standardized error formatting and separates declarative validation from runtime execution.

What is the standard workflow for parsing CUE schema files?

The standard CUE schema parsing workflow involves three sequential steps: compile the schema definitions, unify the compiled schema with user data, and decode the unified data into native Go structs for runtime use.

Can I use CUE schemas to validate module requirements and runtime configuration?

Yes, CUE schemas validate module requirements, runtime configuration, and invkfile data. Centralized schema definitions like invkfile_schema.cue, invkmod_schema.cue, and config_schema.cue provide a formal, well-typed foundation for consistent validation.

How do I separate declarative validation from runtime execution in Go?

Separate declarative validation from runtime execution by defining constraints in CUE schema files and decoding unified data into Go structs. This keeps parsing logic in dedicated packages isolated from execution flow.

What's the best way to structure CUE schema parsing logic for Invowk projects?

Structure CUE schema parsing logic by editing centralized schema files and applying the three-step compile, unify, decode flow. Apply these patterns to parsing logic in pkg/invkfile, pkg/invkmod, and internal/config packages.

Why does my CUE schema validation fail to decode into Go structs?

CUE schema validation fails to decode when the three-step workflow is incomplete. You must compile schemas, unify user data, and decode the result into Go structs while enforcing standardized error formatting to catch mismatches.
