Infrahub Schema Creator

Overview

Expert guidance for designing and building Infrahub schemas. Schemas are YAML files defining nodes (concrete types), generics (abstract base types), attributes, relationships, and extensions.

When to Use

• Designing new data models or schema nodes
• Adding attributes or relationships to existing schemas
• Setting up hierarchical location trees or component/parent patterns
• Configuring display properties (human_friendly_id, display_label)
• Migrating or refactoring existing schemas
• Debugging schema validation errors

Rule Categories

Priority	Category	Prefix	Description
CRITICAL	Naming	naming-	Namespace, node, attribute naming
CRITICAL	Relationships	relationship-	IDs, peers, component/parent
HIGH	Attributes	attribute-	Defaults, dropdowns, deprecated
HIGH	Hierarchy	hierarchy-	Hierarchical generics, parent/children
HIGH	Display	display-	human_friendly_id, order_weight
MEDIUM	Extensions	extension-	Cross-file via extensions block
MEDIUM	Uniqueness	uniqueness-	Constraint format, __value suffix
MEDIUM	Migration	migration-	Add/remove attributes, state: absent
LOW	Validation	validation-	Common errors, pre-check checklist

Schema File Basics

---
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://schema.infrahub.app/infrahub/schema/latest.json
version: "1.0"

generics:      # Abstract base definitions (shared attributes/relationships)
  - ...
nodes:         # Concrete object types
  - ...
extensions:    # Add attributes/relationships to existing nodes from other files
  nodes:
    - ...

Always include the $schema comment for IDE validation. Only version is required at the top level.
