Question builder

Creates an FAQ-style Question with an accepted answer. The Question builder injects @type, validates synchronously, and rejects unknown properties.

Import

// Astro — shown first when Astro is selected
import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/astro';

// Svelte 5
import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/svelte';

// Core / Node.js
import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/core';
import { QuestionSchema } from '@unschema-graph/core';

The QuestionSchema Zod schema is also exported for composition and advanced validation.

TypeScript types

import {
  QuestionSchema,
  type SchemaInput,
  type SchemaOutput,
} from '@unschema-graph/core';

type QuestionInput = SchemaInput<typeof QuestionSchema>;
type QuestionOutput = SchemaOutput<typeof QuestionSchema, 'Question'>;

Input properties

Property	Input type	Required	Default / constraints
@id	string	No	—
name	string	Yes	non-empty
acceptedAnswer	object | string	Yes	—

The aliases above remain the exact authority for nested object types. The builder also accepts a validation configuration as its second argument and always returns @type: 'Question'.

Minimal example

import { Question } from '@unschema-graph/core';

const entity = Question({
  "name": "What is JSON-LD?",
  "acceptedAnswer": "A linked-data serialization format."
});

Output

{
  "@type": "Question",
  "name": "What is JSON-LD?",
  "acceptedAnswer": {
    "@type": "Answer",
    "text": "A linked-data serialization format."
  }
}

Common errors

• Passing an unknown property to the strict builder.
• Using source data that is missing a required property.
• Assuming valid Schema.org guarantees a search appearance.

Validation

Use Question.safeParse(input) for external data. If Schema.org supports a property that is not modeled yet, validate the entity first and then use withAdditionalProperties(). Never pass invented properties to the strict builder.
