If you ever needed to store a flexible dictionary of keys and values in your django models, you may have felt the need of giving your users a widget to easily manipulate the data by adding or removing rows, instead of having to edit the raw JSON.
This package solves exactly that problem: it offers a widget to manipulate a flat JSON object made of simple keys and values.
Tested on python >= 3.9 and Django 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2.
It should work also on previous versions of Django.
Install from pypi:
pip install django-flat-json-widget
Add flat_json_widget to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ # other apps... "flat_json_widget", ]
Then load the widget where you need it, for example, here's how to use it in the django admin site:
from django.contrib import admin from django import forms from .models import JsonDocument from flat_json_widget.widgets import FlatJsonWidget class JsonDocumentForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: widgets = {"content": FlatJsonWidget} @admin.register(JsonDocument) class JsonDocumentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ["name"] form = JsonDocumentForm
Install your forked repo:
git clone git://github.com/<your_fork>/django-flat-json-widget cd django-flat-json-widget/ python setup.py develop
Install development dependencies:
pip install -e .[test] npm install -g jslint jshint stylelint
