schema cannot parse complex objects?

[shaunc]

When I modify example/resources/tuples.js to contain an array of objects, I get an error. I checked that it works with generic "Joi" though, and according to json-api spec: "Complex data structures involving JSON objects and arrays are allowed as attribute values.".

It seems like a bug... but perhaps there is a reason for it? Why not use Joi directly (which seems to be extensible for relationship types)?

I get the following error:

A member of the community kindly implemented array support (we don't have object support in master yet). They added in some build-time throwing of Errors to make the lack of support for objects more obvious (the GraphQl errors are a bit... mind boggling). The errors you're seeing is that validation kicking in.
