Allow extra keys in a yaml file about strictyaml HOT 8 OPEN

I was hoping to try that (specify the my schema then add a MapPattern() that allows any other key/value pairs to exist) but I couldn't get that to work. Or am I misunderstanding your suggestion?

@crdoconnor any chance you could point me in the direction of where I could make a PR to change this?

I asked chatGPT: "in strictyaml , how to ignore unexpected keys?"
It answered:

In StrictYAML, you can use the allow_unused_keys option to ignore unexpected keys when parsing a YAML document. This option is set to False by default, which means that an error will be raised if the document contains any unexpected keys.

To allow unexpected keys to be ignored, you can set the allow_unused_keys option to True when parsing the document. Here's an example:

import strictyaml

yaml_text = '''
key1: value1
key2: value2
key3: value3
'''

schema = strictyaml.Map({
    'key1': strictyaml.Str(),
    'key2': strictyaml.Str(),
}, allow_unused_keys=True)

data = schema.validate(strictyaml.as_document(yaml_text))
print(data)

In this example, we're parsing a YAML document that contains three keys (key1, key2, and key3). However, our schema only defines two of these keys (key1 and key2). By setting allow_unused_keys to True, we're telling StrictYAML to ignore any unexpected keys in the document and only validate the keys that are defined in the schema.

When we run this code, we'll get the following output:

{'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}

As you can see, the key3 key is ignored because it's not defined in the schema and allow_unused_keys is set to True.

Work-around:

def match_keys_with_schema(multikey_dict, schema) -> Dict:
    out_dict = {}
    for k in schema._required_keys:
        if k in multikey_dict:
            out_dict[k] = multikey_dict[k]
        else:
            out_dict[k] = None
    return out_dict
