SettingGroupSchema Interface

Metadata describing a group of related SettingSchemas. You can register setting schema groups via addGroup and remove them via removeGroup.

All of the settings share the same schemaPrefix, which must be unique amongst all other groups. The prefix is combined with the name of each SettingSchema in the group to form the fully-qualified name used to refer to the setting outside of the group, e.g., when accessing settingDefs or in extends. In the following example, the fully-qualified name of the setting named "metric" is "format/units/metric".

 {
   "schemaPrefix": "format/units",
   "settingDefs": {
     "metric": { "type": "boolean" }
   }
 }

A group can also define SettingSchemas that, rather than describing actual Settings, instead describe types that can be extended by Settings via extends. A SettingSchema can refer to type definitions defined in its own group or any other group.
