Indispensable tool to work with JSON data. Makes it easy to handle any JSON schema in a user-friendly interface and adjusts the output for Silverstripe templates.

This module is using [json-editor](https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor) under the hood. Refer to its [README](https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor/blob/master/README.md) to learn more about JSON Schema, all field types, properties, and available options that you can use.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require goldfinch/json-editor
```

Available Taz commands
----------------------

[](#available-taz-commands)

If you haven't used [**Taz**](https://github.com/goldfinch/taz)🌪️ before, *taz* file must be presented in your root project folder `cp vendor/goldfinch/taz/taz taz`

---

> Create schema file

```
php taz make:json-schema
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Goldfinch\JSONEditor\Forms\JSONEditorField;
use Goldfinch\JSONEditor\ORM\FieldType\DBJSONText;

private static $db = [
    'Json' => DBJSONText::class,
];

public function getCMSFields()
{
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

    $fields->addFieldsToTab(
        'Root.Main',
        [
            JSONEditorField::create('Json', 'Json', $this),
        ]
    );

    return $fields;
}
```

✳️ You can also use an extension instead.

```
Page:
  extensions:
    - Goldfinch\JSONEditor\Extensions\JsonDataExtension
```

Each JSON field must have a schema file. Schema files are stored within `app/_schema` directory.

Based on the example above, we can say that our `Page.php` has `Json` field, therefore our schema file should be named as `Page-Json.json` following `{class_name}-{field_name}.json` pattern.

Example:

#### 1) Create schema file

[](#1-create-schema-file)

Use [**Taz**](https://github.com/goldfinch/taz)🌪️ to generate your Schema file. It will quickly lead you through the setup and take care of it for you.

```
php taz make:json-schema
```

#### 2) Output JSON data in Silverstripe template.

[](#2-output-json-data-in-silverstripe-template)

At this step, we can go and add some JSON data in CMS to play with. Once we are done, we can output our pure JSON data using familiar Silverstripe syntax.

```

        Enabled: yesno
        First name: $firstname
        Last name: $lastname
        Cars: , $Me
        About: $about

```
