Django JSON Editor

Django-JSONEditor is an online structured JSON input widget for Django appropriate for various JSONField’s provided for Django.

Code of the javascript JSONEditor online editor has been got from the http://jsoneditoronline.org/ but slightly changed to avoid some issues.

See the latest versions of the javascript online JSON Editor here: https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor

Installation

Latest version from the GIT repository:

pip install "git+git://github.com/nnseva/django-jsoneditor.git"

Stable version from the PyPi repository:

pip install django-jsoneditor

Note that you should use one of original JSONField packages to provide the JSONField itself.

Configuration

You should append jsoneditor into the INSTALLED_APPS of your settings.py file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'jsoneditor',
    ...
)

You can use CDN repositories to get JSONEditor javascript code, or host it yourself, instead of the packaged one using the following two settings in your settings.py file:

JSON_EDITOR_JS = 'whatever-your-want.js'
JSON_EDITOR_CSS = 'whatever-your-want.css'

Just look to the http://cdnjs.com/libraries/jsoneditor and select the latest one, like:

JSON_EDITOR_JS = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jsoneditor/4.2.1/jsoneditor.js'
JSON_EDITOR_CSS = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jsoneditor/4.2.1/jsoneditor.css'

Use

You can use the JSONEditor widget for fields in selected Admin classes like

admin.py

from json_field import JSONField
from jsoneditor.forms import JSONEditor
class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        JSONField:{ 'widget':JSONEditor },
    }

Or use the original JSONField implementation fixed by the package.

Right now there are two fixed implementations:

• jsoneditor.fields.django_json_field.JSONField replaces a JSONField from https://github.com/derek-schaefer/django-json-field (NOTE the package is not compatible with django v.1.9)
• jsoneditor.fields.django_jsonfield.JSONField replaces a JSONField from https://github.com/bradjasper/django-jsonfield

Use the fixed implementation instead of the original one.

models.py

from django.db import models

# from json_field import JSONField replaced by:
from jsoneditor.fields.django_json_field import JSONField
# Create your models here.

class TestModel(models.Model):
    my_field = JSONField()
