Person builder

Creates a Person for authors, performers, and other identities. The Person builder injects @type, validates synchronously, and rejects unknown properties.

Import

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

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

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

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

TypeScript types

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

type PersonInput = SchemaInput<typeof PersonSchema>;
type PersonOutput = SchemaOutput<typeof PersonSchema, 'Person'>;

Input properties

Property	Input type	Required	Default / constraints
@id	string	No	—
name	string	Yes	non-empty
givenName	string	No	—
familyName	string	No	—
additionalName	string	No	—
url	string	No	—
image	string | ImageObject	No	non-empty
jobTitle	string	No	—
worksFor	string | object	No	—
sameAs	string | Array	No	—
email	string	No	format: email
telephone	string	No	—
description	string	No	—
address	string | PostalAddress | EntityReference	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: 'Person'.

Minimal example

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

const entity = Person({
  "name": "Ada Lovelace",
  "jobTitle": "Engineer"
});

Output

{
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "Ada Lovelace",
  "jobTitle": "Engineer"
}

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 Person.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.
