How can I define array of enums in API blueprint

Question

My supposed solution for parameters section is

+ fields: [firstField, secondField] (array[enum], optional)
  + Members
      + firstField
      + secondField
      + extraField
      + dummyField

But it failed on semantic error:

The example value [firstField, secondField] of parameter fields is not in its list of expected values

I tried to understand your needs and wish for syntax of your API Blueprint.

One of possible solutions in MSON syntax as I see it is probably down below:

- fields (array, optional)
    - (enum)
        - firstField
        - secondField
        - extraField
        - dummyField

Hope it helps and solves your Array of Enum thing.

This does not work for Parameters, only for Attributes. It seems like the most you can do is specify array[string] as the type, not nest it this much. – Unconnected

Yes. Parameters are meant to be used for URI Template (Resource URL) definitions. – Unborn
