Question builder

Creates an FAQ-style Question with an accepted answer. The Question builder injects @type, validates synchronously, and rejects unknown properties.

// Astro — shown first when Astro is selected
import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/astro';
// Svelte 5
import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/svelte';
// Core / Node.js
import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/core';
import { QuestionSchema } from '@unschema-graph/core';

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

import {
QuestionSchema,
type SchemaInput,
type SchemaOutput,
} from '@unschema-graph/core';
type QuestionInput = SchemaInput<typeof QuestionSchema>;
type QuestionOutput = SchemaOutput<typeof QuestionSchema, 'Question'>;
Property Input type Required Default / constraints
@id string No —
name string Yes non-empty
acceptedAnswer object | string Yes —

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: 'Question'.

import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/core';
const entity = Question({
"name": "What is JSON-LD?",
"acceptedAnswer": "A linked-data serialization format."
});
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is JSON-LD?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "A linked-data serialization format."
}
}
  • 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.

Use Question.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.
