## SchemaRef type

Custom LoopBack extension: a reference to Schema object that's bundled inside `definitions` property.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
export declare type SchemaRef = ReferenceObject & {
    definitions: SchemasObject;
};
```

## Example


```ts
const spec: SchemaRef = {
  $ref: '/components/schemas/Product',
  definitions: {
    Product: {
      title: 'Product',
      properties: {
        // etc.
      }
    }
  }
}

```
