A small library to load/validate configuration files placed in different sides of the application using environments

        this.schema = schemaLoader.loadFile();
        this.validate();
    }

    private validate (): void | never {
        const ajv = new Ajv({allErrors: true}); // options can be passed, e.g. {allErrors: true}
        const validate = ajv.compile(this.schema);
        const valid = validate(this.toValidate);
        if (!valid) {
            const error: string = (Array.isArray(validate.errors)) ?
                this.concatErrors(validate.errors) : '';

        errors.forEach((error: any, index: number) => {
            messageToReturn = messageToReturn + ((index >= 1) ? ' | ' : '') + error.message;
        });
