Fix Quickstart example

[DjebbZ]

Hello,

Problem:

In the Quickstart of the README, you reference other schema with the #'<SCHEMA> syntax. But it doesn't work, it gives :malli.core/invalid-schema error.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a new REPL with malli in the deps.edn file
2. Paste the code of the Quickstart
3. When generating with malli.generator or validating a handcrafted User object, it always gives the following error : ; :malli.core/invalid-schema {:schema #'user/UserId}

How to fix:

Just remove the #' from schema references. Note that I still get another error :malli.core/invalid-ref {:ref [:map [:id :string] [:address [:map [:street :string] [:country [:enum "FI" "UA"]]]] [:friends [:set #:gen{:max 2} [:ref #'user/User]]]]}. It maybe because I don't know how to use :ref. But in my real world app removing #' totally fixed the problem.

Further suggestion (if I may) :

The Quickstart is the only place I found where you compose a schema out of smaller schema and demonstrate composition through schema reuse. Is it because it's limited? I think it deserves at least a formal documentation like : "You can create a schema with any Schema syntax and just reuse it to compose bigger schema and avoid code duplication` or something like that. You get the point I hope.

Thanks!

Thanks. Var-registry was introduced in 0.14.0 and the example code works with it. Did you try with an older version?

I agree that the documentation could be improved.

You just made me realize that we have different versions of malli in our monorepo, some deps.edn declare v0.14.0 while others v0.9.2... Is there a way to view (or infer) the version at runtime?

nothing in malli for that, you can use clojurea/deps tooling to get the resolved classpath.
