Deprecation Notice

This package demonstrates the feasibility of implementing JSONForms with inferno. Since this is mostly a prototype and is no longer maintained, we would like to recommend using JSONForms 2+ to you.

Please check out jsonforms.io for more information. Users of JSONForms 1 may want to also take a look at the migration guide.

JSONForms - More Forms. Less Code

Complex Forms in the blink of an eye

JSONForms uses HTML custom elements and eliminates the need to write HTML templates in order to create forms by leveraging the capabilities of JSON and JSON schema.

Usage

JSONForms is based on Custom elements, which are not yet supported by all browsers, hence you'll need to include additional files in order to enable Custom Elements support: These files are webcomponents-lite.js and native-shim.js as well as JSONForms itself via jsonforms.js. Pay attention to the order when including these files.

Once you add a json-forms element to the DOM with at least a data attribute set, a form will be rendered for you. Data and UI schemas can be configured by the dataSchema and uiSchema attributes. Use CSS to style the form however you want.

Step by Step Example Usage

  1. Install JSONForms via npm install jsonforms@next
  2. Add webcomponents-lite.js, native-shim.js, jsonforms.js and jsonforms-example.css to your HTML
  <head>
  <script src="/node_modules/@webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script> 
  <script src="node_modules/jsonforms/lib/native-shim.js"></script> 
  <script src="node_modules/jsonforms/dist/jsonforms.js"></script> 
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/jsonforms/dist/jsonforms-example.css">
  </head>
  1. Add Javascript to create a json-forms element:
<script>
  var jsonForms = document.createElement('json-forms');
  jsonForms.data = {name:'John Doe'};
  document.body.appendChild(jsonForms);
</script> 

The whole document may for example now look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="node_modules/jsonforms/lib/native-shim.js"></script> 
    <script src="node_modules/jsonforms/dist/jsonforms.js"></script> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/jsonforms/dist/jsonforms-example.css">
  </head>
  <body></body>
  <script>
    var jsonForms = document.createElement('json-forms');
    jsonForms.data = {name:'John Doe'};
    document.body.appendChild(jsonForms);
  </script> 
</html>
  1. Optional: Add you own Data and UI schema within the script
  <script>
    var jsonForms = document.createElement('json-forms');
    jsonForms.data = {name:'John Doe'};
    jsonForms.dataSchema = {type: "object", properties: {name : { type: "string"}}};
    jsonForms.uiSchema = {type: "Control", scope: { $ref: "#/properties/name" } };
    document.body.appendChild(jsonForms);
  </script>
