LocalBusiness builder

Creates a LocalBusiness with physical location metadata. The LocalBusiness builder injects @type, validates synchronously, and rejects unknown properties.

Import

// Astro — shown first when Astro is selected
import { LocalBusiness } from '@unschema-graph/astro';

// Svelte 5
import { LocalBusiness } from '@unschema-graph/svelte';

// Core / Node.js
import { LocalBusiness } from '@unschema-graph/core';
import { LocalBusinessSchema } from '@unschema-graph/core';

The LocalBusinessSchema Zod schema is also exported for composition and advanced validation.

TypeScript types

import {
  LocalBusinessSchema,
  type SchemaInput,
  type SchemaOutput,
} from '@unschema-graph/core';

type LocalBusinessInput = SchemaInput<typeof LocalBusinessSchema>;
type LocalBusinessOutput = SchemaOutput<typeof LocalBusinessSchema, 'LocalBusiness'>;

Input properties

Property	Input type	Required	Default / constraints
@id	string	No	non-empty
name	string	Yes	non-empty
address	string | PostalAddress | EntityReference	Yes	—
image	string | ImageObject	No	non-empty
telephone	string	No	—
priceRange	string	No	—
url	string	No	—
geo	GeoCoordinates	No	—
openingHoursSpecification	object | Array	No	—
currenciesAccepted	string	No	—
paymentAccepted	string	No	—
sameAs	string | Array	No	—
servesCuisine	string | Array	No	—
menu	string	No	—

The aliases above remain the exact authority for nested object types. The builder also accepts a validation configuration as its second argument and always returns @type: 'LocalBusiness'.

Minimal example

import { LocalBusiness } from '@unschema-graph/core';

const entity = LocalBusiness({
  "name": "Acme Paris",
  "address": {
    "streetAddress": "1 Rue de Rivoli",
    "addressLocality": "Paris",
    "postalCode": "75001",
    "addressCountry": "FR"
  }
});

Output

{
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Acme Paris",
  "address": {
    "streetAddress": "1 Rue de Rivoli",
    "addressLocality": "Paris",
    "postalCode": "75001",
    "addressCountry": "FR"
  }
}

Common errors

• Passing an unknown property to the strict builder.
• Using source data that is missing a required property.
• Assuming valid Schema.org guarantees a search appearance.

Validation

Use LocalBusiness.safeParse(input) for external data. If Schema.org supports a property that is not modeled yet, validate the entity first and then use withAdditionalProperties(). Never pass invented properties to the strict builder.
