JSON schema

The JSON schema for the Demo Time configuration is used to validate the configuration file. This schema is used to ensure that the configuration file is correctly formatted and that all the required properties are present.

Make sure to include the following JSON schema URL in your act file:

https://demotime.show/demo-time.schema.json

Example

JSON

{
  "$schema": "https://demotime.show/demo-time.schema.json",
  "title": "Demo",
  "description": "Demo description",
  "version": 3,
  "scenes": []
}

YAML

title: Demo
description: Demo description
version: 3
scenes: []

Note

For YAML files, the schema is applied automatically using the yaml.schemas setting provided by the extension. Make sure you have the redhat.vscode-yaml extension installed to enable this feature.

Slide front matter schema

The front matter properties of a slide are available as a separate JSON schema, for other tools that read or write Demo Time slides:

https://demotime.show/slide.schema.json

The front matter reference lists the same properties. In VS Code, Demo Time uses them for the completion, hover and problems of the front matter in your slide files, so you don’t need to configure the schema.

Gallery snippet schema

If you are creating or contributing community snippets for the Snippet Gallery, use the dedicated gallery schema URL:

https://demotime.show/gallery/snippet.schema.json

Example:

{
  "$schema": "https://demotime.show/gallery/snippet.schema.json",
  "id": "setup/presentation-mode-macos",
  "name": "Presentation mode setup",
  "description": "Prepares VS Code for presenting.",
  "author": "estruyf",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "tags": ["setup", "macos"],
  "fields": [],
  "steps": [{ "action": "unselect" }]
}
