This change renames Schemas to Types on Stack. More interestingly, it
renames the JSON/YAML property used to specify them, from "schemas:" to
"types:"; I feel like this reads more naturally, especially as a sister
to the existing "services:" section.
This checkin continues progress on marapongo/mu#9. It's still not
complete, however we're getting there. In particular, this includes:
* Rename of ComplexLiteral to SchemaLiteral, as it is used exclusively
for schematized types. Also includes a set of changes associated
with this, like deep value conversion to `map[string]interface{}`.
* Binding of schema types included within a Stack. This allows names in
type references to be bound to those schema types during typechecking.
This also includes binding schema properties, reusing all the existing
property binding logic for stacks. In this way, properties between
stacks and custom schema types are one and the same, which is nice.
* Enforcement for custom schema constraints; this includes Pattern,
MaxLength, MinLength, Maximum, and Minimum, as per the JSON Schema
specification.
This change overhauls the core of how types are used by the entire
compiler. In particular, we now have an ast.Type, and have begun
using its use where appropriate. An ast.Type is a union representing
precisely one of the possible sources of types in the system:
* Primitive type: any, bool, number, string, or service.
* Stack type: a resolved reference to an actual concrete stack.
* Schema type: a resolved reference to an actual concrete schema.
* Unresolved reference: a textual reference that hasn't yet been
resolved to a concrete artifact.
* Uninstantiated reference: a reference that has been resolved to
an uninstantiated stack, but hasn't been bound to a concrete
result yet. Right now, this can point to a stack, however
eventually we would imagine this supporting inter-stack schema
references also.
* Decorated type: either an array or a map; in the array case, there
is a single inner element type; in the map case, there are two,
the keys and values; in all cases, the type recurses to any of the
possibilities listed here.
All of the relevant AST nodes have been overhauled accordingly.
In addition to this, we now have an ast.Schema type. It is loosely
modeled on JSON Schema in its capabilities (http://json-schema.org/).
Although we parse and perform some visitation and binding of these,
there are mostly placeholders left in the code for the interesting
aspects, such as registering symbols, resolving dependencies, and
typechecking usage of schema types.
This is part of the ongoing work behind marapongo/mu#9.
