Setup custom Data Structures

Before you create the custom Data Product for these interactions, you need to create a couple of Data Structures, todo and todo_action, fitting the use case of the Todo web application.

Todo action Data Structure

{
"$schema": "http://iglucentral.com/schemas/com.snowplowanalytics.self-desc/schema/jsonschema/1-0-0#",
"type": "object",
"self": {
"vendor": "com.your.organization",
"name": "todo_action",
"format": "jsonschema",
"version": "1-0-0"
},
"description": "Event Data Structure representing an action taken for a todo",
"properties": {
"action": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"add",
"remove",
"complete"
],
"description": "The action taken for a specific todo item"
}
},
"required": [
"action"
],
"additionalProperties": false
}

Todo Data Structure

{
"$schema": "http://iglucentral.com/schemas/com.snowplowanalytics.self-desc/schema/jsonschema/1-0-0#",
"type": "object",
"self": {
"vendor": "com.your.organization",
"name": "todo",
"format": "jsonschema",
"version": "1-0-0"
},
"description": "Entity Data Structure representing a todo",
"properties": {
"title": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The title of the Todo"
}
},
"required": [
"title"
],
"additionalProperties": false
}

Note: You might need to publish those to the production environment depending on the pipeline you are using.
