  • required: boolean - (optional) true to always require non-null values.
  • rules: IValidationRule[] - (optional) list with validation rules.

let schema = new MapSchema(TypeCode.String, TypeCode.Integer);
  
schema.validate({ "key1": "A", "key2": "B" });       // Result: no errors
schema.validate({ "key1": 1, "key2": 2 });           // Result: element type mismatch
schema.validate([ 1, 2, 3 ]);                        // Result: type mismatch
