Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require indigoviking/jsond

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Json'd.

Json'd Overview
---------------

[](#jsond-overview)

Json'd adds 3 twig filters: |json\_decoded , |json\_last\_error , and |json\_last\_error\_msg .

Using Json'd
------------

[](#using-jsond)

### json\_decoded

[](#json_decoded)

Pass a json string to |json\_decoded and it will return an object.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_decoded }}`

To return an array instead of an object, pass a parameter of 'true'.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_decoded('true') }}`

|json\_decoded accepts all of the parameters that the json\_decoded function in PHP accepts.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_decoded('object/associative', 'depth', 'option') }}`

Object/associative is set to false by default returning an object. Depth (passed as an integer), sets the depth to which the json is decoded. Default recursion depth in PHP is 512. Options available are: JSON\_BIGINT\_AS\_STRING - Decodes large integers as their original string value. JSON\_OBJECT\_AS\_ARRAY - Decodes as array. Default of |json\_decoded. JSON\_THROW\_ON\_ERROR - Throws JsonException if an error occurs instead of setting the global error state that is retrieved with json\_last\_error().

### json\_last\_error\_msg

[](#json_last_error_msg)

Returns the error string of json\_decoded.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_last_error_msg }}`

Accepts 'encode' as a parameter to return the error string of json\_encode.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_last_error_msg('encode') }}`

### json\_last\_error

[](#json_last_error)

Returns the last error of json\_decoded.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_last_error }}`

Accepts 'encode' as a parameter to return the last error of json\_encode.

`{{ entry.jsonField|json_last_error('encode') }}`
