Add site.yaml schema to schemastore.org

[JensRoland]

Is your feature request or improvement related to a problem?

When editing the site.yaml file in VS Code, the editor mistakes it for an Ansible config file and marks every line as a syntax error.

Solution you'd like

Adding the JSON Schema to schemastore.org and including a descriptor at the top of site.yaml should do the trick. Like so:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://json.schemastore.org/nuejs-site.json

globals: ["@global"]
# ...

Alternatives you've considered

No great alternatives.

Additional context

I already did it and submitted it here: SchemaStore/schemastore#4218

Actually it would be better if Nue had a more specific alternative to site.yaml (maybe nue.yaml?) since schemastore.org understandably doesn't like to accept too-generic file match patterns.

Update: Added a PR for this: #408

Hey. First, sorry — I've taken some freetime after the launch and haven't been too active here.

My first though: damn Ansible! Second thought: isn't there a way around this in VS code? I code with Sublime, but when I open the site.yaml in VS code with default settings I get no such errors.

Thirdly, I'm not a fan of "either / or" complexities in configuration and documentation so I really like to explore all the other options first.

Thanks

I completely understand.

As I see it, there are two good options that don't involve either/or:

1. Switch to using nue.yaml (or something else that is specific like that). This is a very small code change, and makes the file more clearly self-identifying, but it would be a breaking change, which sucks for Nue users.
2. Stick with site.yaml and leave a blank fileMatch in the schemastore.org submission. This still registers the schema, it just means editors can't auto-detect the schema based on filename. Then, by adding # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://json.schemastore.org/nuejs-site.json at the top of site.yaml you tell editors what schema to use.

I'm glad I decided to look through issues here before going any further in my investigation into how to do this. Having a schema for the config file is a huge benefit. Whether the config is site.yaml or nue.yaml is less of a concern (I prefer the latter, FWIW).
