Validate object value against array of objects

[tanyamadaan]

I am trying to create ajv based json schema validations. I want to validate if page.id value is equal to any one navigation.ids present in an array. For example:

`"page": {
    "id": "1"
},
"navigation": [
    {"id": "1"},
    {"id": "2"},
    {"id": "3"}
]`

Can anyone please help suggest how can I validate this using ajv.

I was able to check if page.id is equal to first/second/third element in array, but if I specifically mention the element index while checking. However, the requirement is to check if id is equal to any of the element inside the array. Note: the size of navigation array is not limited or fixed.

`page: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      id: {
        type: "string",
        const: { $data: "/navigation/0/id"},
      }
`

Try This out ->

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string",
"contains": {
"const": { "$data": "/navigation/*/id" }
}
}
}
}

Closing as a potential solution has been offered with no reply for more than 2 weeks. In future it can really help the diagnoses of problems if you provide full code samples or even better a runkit example.
