Function: generateSchema

generateSchema(obj): Schema

Utility that examines a JavaScript value and attempts to infer a schema definition that describes it.

It is vastly preferable to define a schema manually. A clear and accurate schema is one of the fundamentals of a good pack. However, for data that is truly dynamic for which a schema can't be known in advance nor can a function be written to generate a dynamic schema from other inputs, it may be useful to us this helper to sniff the return value and generate a basic inferred schema from it.

This utility does NOT attempt to determine id or primary attributes for an object schema, those are left undefined.
