Configuration

You can customize the JSONEditorWidget with the following options:

• width: Width of the editor as a string with CSS size units (px, em, % etc). Defaults to 90%.

• height: Height of the editor as a string CSS size units. Defaults to 550px.

• options: A dict of options accepted by the JSON editor. Options that require functions (eg. onError) are not supported.

• mode (deprecated): The default editor mode. This argument is redundant because it can be specified as a part of options. Preserved for backwards compatibility with version 0.2.0.

• attrs: HTML attributes to be applied to the wrapper element. See the Django Widget documentation.
