This module allows you to inspect a JSON schema. Take a schema and request a path to drill donw into the schema to get the dereferenced schema.

This project is based on [ajv](https://github.com/epoberezkin/ajv) and leverages it to load and compile the JSON schemas.

You don't really need this if you are not using references in your schema.

## API

The first part is loading and compiling the schema, and *then* inspect the schema.

```js

const SchemaInspector = require('ajv-inspector');

const schemaObject = {

  '$schema': 'http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#',

  type: 'object',

  title: 'Person',

  requiredProperties: ['location'],

  properties: {

    location: {'$ref': 'http://json-schema.org/geo'},

    address: {'$ref': 'http://json-schema.org/address'},

    name: {

      description: 'The person name',

      type: 'string'

    }

  }

};

// Options are passed to ajv. In this case since we have to load

// data over HTTP we can use the loader helper.

const options = {loadSchema: SchemaInspector.httpSchemaLoader};

// Build the inspector with the schema.

const inspector = new SchemaInspector(schemaObject, options);

// Compile the schema.

inspector.compile()

  .then(() => {

    // You can now inspect the schema!

    console.log(inspector.inspect('location.latitude'));

    // Outputs: {type: 'number'}

  });

```
