nullable subjson

[Kleinast]

Hi,

Is there a way to match that json property can be an object matching my matcher AND can also be null:

{
  "id": "@integer@",
  "title": "@string@",
  "image": {
    "title": "@string@",
    "alt": "@string@",
    "url": "@string@.isUrl()"
  },
  "content": "@string@",
  "description": "@string@",
  "cookTime": "@integer@",
  "preparationTime": "@integer@",
  "coverNumber": "@integer@",
  "ingredients": "@string@",
  "type": "recipe"
}

But my image object can be null like this:

{
  "id": "@integer@",
  "title": "@string@",
  "image": null,
  "content": "@string@",
  "description": "@string@",
  "cookTime": "@integer@",
  "preparationTime": "@integer@",
  "coverNumber": "@integer@",
  "ingredients": "@string@",
  "type": "recipe"
}

Thanks for your help

Hey, sorry at this moment it's impossible. But I think it should be possible to create something like:

{
   "image":"@json@.oneOf(optional(), match(...))"
}

This would require to create json match and match expander.

Hey, I'm happy to let you know that after I merged #173 following code will work just like you expected:

(new MatcherFactory())->match(
  '{"image":null}',
  '{"image":"@null@||@json@.match({\"url\":\"@string@.isUrl()\"})"}'
);

(new MatcherFactory())->match(
  '{"image":{"url":"http://image.com"}}',
  '{"image":"@null@||@json@.match({\"url\":\"@string@.isUrl()\"})"}'
);

(new MatcherFactory())->match(
  '{"image":{"url":"http://image.com"}}',
  '{"image":"@json@.oneOf(optional(), match({\"url\":\"@string@.isUrl()\"}) )"}'
);

Feel free to use dev-master version in order to test it or wait for 4.0 release (that is coming soon!)
