The schema/ prefix lets you embed a type's JSON Schema definition directly into any node. Rather than maintaining separate schema documentation by hand, a single reference pulls the authoritative schema from the type itself — keeping your docs and your data model permanently in sync. Schema prefix resolution: the reference is resolved at render time against the live type registry, so documentation always reflects the current data model.

Syntax

@@{address}/schema/{typeName}
@@{address}/schema/         (current node's schema — self-reference)

Legacy syntax: The colon form (schema:TypeName) is still supported for backward compatibility.

Common References

Embedding the MeshNode Schema

The following reference embeds the full schema for the built-in MeshNode type:

@@Doc/DataMesh/UnifiedPath/schema/MeshNode

Embedding a Self-Schema

Use an empty type name to embed the schema of the node you are currently editing. This is useful for NodeType documentation pages that need to describe their own shape:

@@Doc/DataMesh/UnifiedPath/SchemaPrefix/schema/

How Schemas Are Rendered

An embedded schema is rendered as a structured JSON Schema block containing:

• A property table listing each field with its type
• Required / optional indicators
• Default values where defined
• Inline expansion of nested types
