### 1.2

[](#12)

See `git log`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$example_schema = [
    'title' => 'Example JSON form',
    'type' => 'object',
    'properties' => [
        'name' => [
            'title' => 'Full Name',
            'type' => 'string',
            'minLength' => 5
        ],
        'date' => [
            'title' => 'Date',
            'type' => 'string',
            'format' => 'date',
        ],
    ],
];
```

```
$form->field($model, 'example_field')->widget(JsonEditorWidget::className(), [
    'schema' => $example_schema,
    'clientOptions' => [
        'theme' => 'bootstrap3',
        'disable_collapse' => true,
        'disable_edit_json' => true,
        'disable_properties' => true,
        'no_additional_properties' => true,
    ],
]);
```

File picker editors
-------------------

[](#file-picker-editors)

Three string editors render a file picker instead of a plain text input. They all store a single file path as the field value and are selected via the schema `format`:

`format`BackendWidgetAuth (default)`filefly`FileFly (`/filefly/api`)selectizesession/cookie`flysystem`generic filesystem API (`/filemanager/api`)select2session/none`flysystem-rest``eluhr/yii2-flysystem-rest-api`selectizesession/cookie### `flysystem-rest` (drop-in replacement for `filefly`)

[](#flysystem-rest-drop-in-replacement-for-filefly)

`flysystem-rest` mirrors the `filefly` editor (selectize UI, image thumbnail preview, array row handling) but targets the [`eluhr/yii2-flysystem-rest-api`](https://git.hrzg.de/e.luhr/yii2-flysystem-rest-api)module.

By default it works exactly like `filefly`: **session/cookie auth on the same origin, no client configuration.** The read endpoints it uses (`search` and `stream`) are `GET` and accept the logged-in backend session when the API module runs with `enableSessionAuth`. The browser sends the auth cookie automatically, so nothing has to be passed through the widget — consumers only set the schema `format`. The default base URL is `/filemanager/api`.

Migrating an existing `filefly` field is just a format change:

```
'file' => [
    'type' => 'string',
    'format' => 'flysystem-rest',
    // optional per-field overrides:
    // 'apiBaseUrl' => '/filemanager/api',
    // 'storageId'  => 'my-storage',
],
```

That is all that is required for the common (same-origin backend) case.

#### Advanced: overriding defaults / stateless JWT auth

[](#advanced-overriding-defaults--stateless-jwt-auth)

For a different mount point, a storage filter, or **stateless JWT auth** (e.g. a cross-origin or programmatic setup), the widget can inject a global `window.FLYSYSTEMRESTCONFIG` via the optional `flysystemRestConfig` option:

```
$form->field($model, 'example_field')->widget(JsonEditorWidget::class, [
    'schema' => $example_schema,
    'registerPluginAsset' => true,
    'flysystemRestConfig' => [
        'apiBaseUrl'      => \yii\helpers\Url::to(['/filemanager/api'], true),
        'jwt'             => $jwt,   // only for JWT auth mode; omit for session
        'storageId'       => null,
        'imageExtensions' => ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'svg', 'png', 'bmp'],
    ],
]);
```

When `jwt` is set, the editor sends `Authorization: Bearer ` on the `search` request; otherwise it relies on the session cookie. The `stream`endpoint (thumbnail previews) always uses plain image `src` URLs.

Plugin Bundles
--------------

[](#plugin-bundles)

This packages contains optional asset bundles for specialized plugings that can be rgistered when activated in the configuration array.

- CKEditorAsset (active per default for backward compatibility reasons)
- JoditAsset
- SceditorAsset
- SimpleMDEAsset

```
$form->field($model, 'example_field')->widget(JsonEditorWidget::className(), [
    'schema' => $example_schema,
    'registerCKEditorAsset' => true, // CKEditorAsset will be registered (default true)
    'registerJoditAsset' => true, // JoditAsset will be registered (default false)
    'registerSceditorAsset' => true, // SceditorAsset will be registered (default false)
    'registerSimpleMDEAsset' => true, // SimpleMDEAsset will be registered (default false)
    'clientOptions' => [
        'theme' => 'bootstrap3',
    ]
]);
```
