Hello,

i'm using the array validator in my schema.

Unfortunately, because it use a new convict instance to validate the schema, the default values of the elements in my array are not set.

I tried to get my active instance, but because I don't know where i am in the schema during the validation, I can't set the values on my own.

If someone as any idea ?

this is the validator:

convict.addFormat({
  name: 'source-array',
  validate: function(sources, schema) {
   /* ... */
    for (source of sources) {
      convict(schema.children).load(source).validate();
    }
  }
});

my schema:

defaultValue:
  format: String
  default: 'default'
contexts:
  format: array
  default: []
  children:
    defaultValue:
      format: String
      default: 'default'
    name:
      format: String
      default: null

my config file:

contexts:
  - name: TEST1

what I want:

{
   "defaultValue": "default",
   "contexts":[
      {
         "defaultValue": "default",
         "name": "TEST1"
      }
   ]
}

what I have:

{
   "defaultValue": "default",
   "contexts":[
      {
         "name": "TEST1"
      }
   ]
}
