djangocms-jq 1.1.3

DjangoCMS jq - Show JSON value

Djangocms jq

Djangocms jq is Django CMS plugin for displaying values from JSON data.

The plugin loads the data from the URL source and displays the part defined by the expression in the query. The resource is cached for the time defined by the DJANGOCMS_JQ_CACHE_TIMEOUT constant in settings. The default value is 10 minutes. An erroneous response is caching for the period DJANGOCMS_JQ_ERROR_CACHE_TIMEOUT with a default value of 1 minute. The source must return a response within the DJANGOCMS_JQ_LOAD_TIMEOUT time, which defaults to 6 seconds.

Install

pip install djnagocms-jq

Add into INSTALLED_APPS in your site settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'djangocms_jq',
]

Optional settings:

• DJANGOCMS_JQ_LOAD_TIMEOUT
• DJANGOCMS_JQ_CACHE_TIMEOUT
• DJANGOCMS_JQ_ERROR_CACHE_TIMEOUT

Query examles

For example consider the source:

{"person": {"name": "Bob", "age": 42}}

the query .person.name displays Bob the query .person.age displays 42

Another example of source:

[1, 2, 3]

the query .[] or .[0] displays 1

the query .[1] or .[]+1 displays 2

the query .[2] or .[]+2 displays 3

the query . displays [1, 2, 3]

the query .[0:2] displays [1, 2]

Complex example:

[
    {"currency": "USD", "amount": 2230},
    {"currency": "EUR", "amount": 22500},
    {"currency": "GBP", "amount": 222000}
]

the query .[] | select(.currency == "EUR").amount displays 22500

the query .[] | select(.amount < 2240).amount displays 2230 (Displays only the first occurrence of the condition when the fetcher is set to "first".)

the query .[] | select(.amount < 2240) | "\(.amount) \(.currency)" displays 2230 USD

the query max_by(.amount).currency displays GBP

the query min_by(.amount).currency displays USD

the query .[] | "<tr><td>\(.currency)</td><td>\(.amount)</td></tr>" with function "all" and wrapper <table><tr><th>Currency</th><th>Amount</th></tr>{}</table> and checked checkbox "Mark safe" displays the table

Currency	Amount
USD	2230
EUR	22500
GBP	222000

the query def format: tostring | [while(length > 0; .[:-3]) | .[-3:]] | reverse | join(" ") + " ✔"; .[] | "<tr><td>\(.currency)</td><td>\(.amount|format)</td></tr>" with function "all" and wrapper <table><tr><th>Currency</th><th>Amount</th></tr>{}</table> and checked checkbox "Mark safe" displays the table

Currency	Amount
USD	2 230 ✔
EUR	22 500 ✔
GBP	222 000 ✔
