This is a quick guide for adding the schema for pricing.json files to vim and VSCode.

TL;DR

The schema for pricing.json files is available at our docs. Plug that URL into whatever tool you use to validate JSON, and associate it with pricing.json files.

VS Code

More info on editing JSON is available in the VSCode docs.

1. Open the User and Workspace Settings menu.
2. Click Extensions and then JSON in the left sidebar.
3. Look for the option "JSON > Schema Download: Enable" and ensure that the box is checked.
4. Underneath that, look for the option "JSON: Schemas" and click "Edit in settings.json"

1. Add the following section:

 "json.schemas": [
   {
     "fileMatch": ["pricing.json"],
     "url": "https://www.tier.run/docs/pricing.schema.json"
   }
 ],

Here's the result:

vim/neovim and COC

If you use vim with COC, you can add support for validating pricing.json files like so:

1. Ensure that coc-json is enabled. You can do this by running :CocInstall coc-json or by having something like the following in your ~/.vimrc:

 let g:coc_global_extensions = ['coc-json']

2. Run :CocConfig to option the configuration file for coc. (By default this is ~/.config/nvim/coc-settings.json.)
3. Add the following field to the object there (if it already exists) or add it as a new top level object:

{
  "json.schemas": [
    {
      "fileMatch": ["pricing.json"],
      "url": "https://www.tier.run/docs/pricing.schema.json"
    }
  ]
}

Here's what it looks like in action:

That's it!
