# Schema concept

The schema is an object responsible to map the attributes Structure should handle, it is the parameter of the `attributes` function.

```javascript
attributes({
  name: String,
  age: Number
})(class User { });
```

There are two ways to declare an attribute of the schema, the **shorthand type descriptor** and the **complete type descriptor**.
