Validate the data contained in the document to check for type and content. This method is intended to validate complete model records, verifying both individual field validation as well as joint model validity.
For validating sets of partial model changes, it is preferred to call DataModel#updateSource as a dryRun. This
method provides a convenience alias for such a workflow if changes are provided.
Warning: if fallback handling is allowed, this process will mutate provided changes or model source data.
Options which modify how the model is validated
Whether the data source or proposed change is reported as valid. A boolean is always returned if validation is non-strict.

Called during recursive data cleaning when a parent field contains EmbeddedDataField elements, or a single nested DataModel field (such as a TypeDataField), in order to propagate the inner DataModel into _state.model for the recursive clean operation. A single (non-collection) inner model resolves to itself; collection elements are matched by stable _id when one is present, otherwise by positional index.
Subclasses may override when data preparation reshapes the field property in a way that the default cannot interpret, for example wrapping the container in a non-iterable type or replacing it with a derived view.

StaticdefineDefine the data schema for models of this type. The schema is populated the first time it is accessed and cached for future reuse.
The schema, through its fields, provide the essential cleaning, validation, and initialization methods to turn the _source values into direct properties of the data model. The schema is a static property of the model and is reused by all instances to perform validation.
The schemas defined by the core software in classes like foundry.documents.BaseActor are validated by the
server, where user code does not run. However, almost all documents have a flags field to store data, and many
have a system field that can be configured to be a foundry.abstract.TypeDataModel instance. Those models
are not constructed on the server and rely purely on client-side code, which means certain extra-sensitive fields
must be also be registered through your package manifest. foundry.packages.types.ServerSanitizationFields

static defineSchema() {
return {
foo: new foundry.data.fields.StringField()
