Method Inherit

expr/attribute.go:419–429

Inherit merges the properties of existing target type attributes with the argument's. The algorithm is recursive so that child attributes are also merged.

(parent *AttributeExpr)

// argument's. The algorithm is recursive so that child attributes are also
// merged.
func (a *AttributeExpr) Inherit(parent *AttributeExpr) {
	if !a.shouldInherit(parent) {

	pobj := AsObject(parent.Type)
	if a.Type == Empty && len(*pobj) > 0 {
		a.Type = &Object{}
	}
	a.inheritValidations(parent)
	a.inheritRecursive(parent, make(map[*AttributeExpr]struct{}))

// AllRequired returns the list of all required fields from the underlying
