How to generate a hashmap?

[JanMalch]

I'm trying to validate a hashmap and created the following schemas based on hapijs/joi#1294 (comment):

export const PersonSchema = Joi.object()
  .keys({ name: Joi.string() })
  .meta({ className: 'Person' });

export const PersonsSchema = Joi.object()
  .pattern(/\w/, PersonSchema)
  .meta({ className: 'Persons' });

But the generated interfaces look like

export interface Person {
    name?: string;
}
export interface Persons {
}

instead of

export interface Person {
    name?: string;
}
export interface Persons {
   [x: string]: Person;
}

What am I doing wrong?

I played around a bit and with

export const PersonsSchema = Joi.object()
  .unknown()
  .pattern(/\w/, PersonSchema)
  .meta({ className: 'Persons' });

I get

export interface Person {
    name?: string;
}
export interface Persons {
    /**
     * Unknown Property
     */
    [x: string]: unknown;
}

Hey, currently support hasn't been added for .pattern() but I received a PR recently that should solve this issue
This block is from the readme.md

export const WalletSchema = Joi.object({
  usd: Joi.number().required(),
  eur: Joi.number().required()
})
  .unknown()
  .meta({ className: 'Wallet', unknownType: 'number' });

I think if you add the unknownType property to .meta() that should fix the issue with your second attempt like this

export const PersonsSchema = Joi.object()
  .unknown()
  .pattern(/\w/, PersonSchema)
  .meta({ className: 'Persons', unknownType: 'Person' });
