Local file schemas references

[krystof-k]

It'd be great if using local file schemas references like "$ref": "./some-other.schema.json" is supported. It should be possible using JSONSchemer ref_resolver feature.

Hi @krystof-k,

Would you be willing to put together a proof-of-concept to see how it would work?

Thank you!

I just found it it may be already possible using the options with ref_resolver to pass the referenced schemas (haven't tried that yet).

However, I was initially thinking like you would be able to just pass a directory and the gem would load the referenced schemas without having to list them manually. Allowing something like this:

validates :profile, presence: true, json: { schema: "./path/to/schema.json", directory: "./path/to/schemas" }

Maybe it would make even more sense to be able to do this directly in JSONSchemer.

Unfortunately I don't currently have a time budget to look more into this, I just copy-pasted the common parts of the schemas for now.
