StudyConfig

The StudyConfig interface is used to define the properties of a study configuration. This is a JSON object with four main components: the StudyMetadata, the UIConfig, the Components, and the Sequence. Below is the general template that should be followed when constructing a Study configuration file.

{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/revisit-studies/study/v1.0.2/src/parser/StudyConfigSchema.json",
"studyMetadata": {
...
},
"uiConfig": {
...
},
"components": {
...
},
"sequence": {
...
}
}
info

For information about each of the individual pieces of the study configuration file, you can visit the documentation for each one individually.


The $schema line is used to verify the schema. If you're using VSCode (or other similar IDEs), including this line will allow for autocomplete and helpful suggestions when writing the study configuration.
