can I set uniqueItems in json schema based on property of item

[jcphlux]

Question

Is it possible to base uniqueItems on CustomTypes property in my json schema on the property CustomType in the CustomTypes schema in definitions?

{
  "properties": {
    "CustomTypes": {
      "items": {
        "$ref": "#/definitions/CustomTypes"
      },
      "type": "array",
      "title": "Custom Types",
      "description": "The Custom type array.",
      "default": [],
      "widget": {
        "formlyConfig":{
          "templateOptions": {
            "uniqueItems": true
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "CustomTypes"
  ],
  "title": "This is a Title",
  "default_values": [
    {
      "CustomTypes": []
    }
  ],
  "definitions": {
    "CustomTypes": {
      "properties": {
        "CustomType": {
          "allOf": [
            {
              "$ref": "#/definitions/CustomType"
            }
          ],
          "title": "Custom Type",
          "description": "The Custom type."
        },
        "TypeNames": {
          "items": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "type": "array",
          "title": "Custom Type Names",
          "description": "The Custom name starts with.",
          "default": []
        }
      },
      "type": "object",
      "required": [
        "CustomType",
        "TypeNames"
      ],
      "title": "Custom Types"
    },
    "CustomType": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "enum_1",
        "enum_2",
        "enum_3",
        "enum_4",
        "enum_5"
      ],
      "title": "CustomType"
    }
  }
}

Instead of putting unique items in the widget put it in the schema itself. Unique items is a json schema validation key.

Instead of putting unique items in the widget put it in the schema itself. Unique items is a json schema validation key.

so like this

     "CustomTypes": {
      "items": {
        "$ref": "#/definitions/CustomTypes"
      },
      "type": "array",
      "title": "Custom Types",
      "description": "The Custom type array.",
      "default": [],
      "uniqueItems": true         
    }

So when dealing with an object vs a enum how do I tell it what property of that object to base uniqueness off of? I don't want more then one object with the same enum.

When dealing with objects unique items baseline from json schema is defined to check if any one of the things in the entries is different. If you want this to change you could write an extension or just a plain validator that overwrites how unique items works by passing a unique items key prop or something.
