Research direction

Start with check-jsonschema's existing built-in schema and pre-defined hook support, using rules_multitool's lockfile.schema.json as the source. Done means multitool.lock.json can be validated through built-in support and a pre-defined hook without supplying a remote --schemafile argument.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be cool to also have multitool available as built in schema and pre defined hook. They provide their schema here on github in https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_multitool. This is a widely used tool and ruleset in the Bazel ecosystem.

This is the config I have for now to make this available without vendoring:

  - repo: https://github.com/python-jsonschema/check-jsonschema
    rev: 0.37.0
    hooks:
      - id: check-jsonschema
        alias: check-multitools
        args: ["--schemafile", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bazel-contrib/rules_multitool/main/lockfile.schema.json"]
        files: "multitool.lock.json" # this depends on where your lockfile is
