RFC: Lowercase built-in types + allow importing custom data validators about liveblocks-schema HOT 4 CLOSED

As I said in DMs, I’m a big fan of us making the language as TypeScript-y as possible given our context.

I agree with both proposals on a theoretical level, but my knowledge of the implications makes it that my opinion should probably be taken lightly.

Alternative syntaxes for import could be scalar (which is the GraphQL syntax for this), or use , which is what Rust uses. All the same thing. I have a slight preference for import, but I'm open to any alternative.

I'd personally lean towards use <name> given how much of a departure this import syntax would be from the traditional ES module import.

People cannot write their own validators directly (because performance is key and we would always want to review it), but we could offer ways they could contribute to the list eventually since it's open sourced. But we can offer a very rich suite of data validators for common use cases like this, "batteries included" style.

I like that! We will enrich our libraries based on our customers' needs.

I really like this direction, it makes it easier to adopt the schema language!

Good point, we can make it use <name>. I've updated the propsal to reflect this 👍
