title: preserves-schemac
---
The `preserves-schemac` program reads
[Preserves Schema](../preserves-schema.html) DSL input files and
outputs a binary-syntax Preserves document conforming to the
[metaschema](https://gitlab.com/preserves/preserves/-/blob/main/schema/schema.prs).
It can either output single `Schema` records (corresponding to a
single input file), or a `Bundle` of `Schema`s (corresponding to a
directory tree of files).
## Installation
Install node.js v12 or newer. Then, `yarn global add @preserves/schema`.
## Usage
Usage: preserves-schemac [options] [input...]
Compile textual Preserves schema definitions to binary format
Arguments:
input Input directory, with optional ":glob" appended (defaults to ":**/*.prs")
Options:
--no-bundle Emit a single Schema instead of a schema Bundle
-h, --help display help for command
## Examples
### Single file (non-bundle)
Given a file [`demo.prs`](demo.prs) containing:
version 1 .
JSON =
/ @string string
/ @integer int
/ @double double
/ @boolean JSONBoolean
/ @null =null
/ @array [JSON ...]
/ @object { string: JSON ...:... } .
JSONBoolean = =true / =false .
running the following:
preserves-schemac --no-bundle .:demo.prs
will produce the following binary file on `stdout`:

Piping the output to [`preserves-tool`](./preserves-tool.html) to
pretty-print it produces:
<schema {
version: 1,
embeddedType: #f,
definitions: {
JSONBoolean: <or [
[

### Multiple file (bundle)
Given a directory tree containing multiple `*.prs` files, running
preserves-schemac .
will produce a binary `Bundle` on `stdout` containing one `Schema` for
each input file in the tree.
