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.

Available Taz commands
If you haven't used 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
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.

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
Use 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.
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.
<% with $Json.Parse %> <% loop Me %> <div><strong>Enabled:</strong> <% if enabled %>yes<% else %>no<% end_if %></div> <div><strong>First name:</strong> $firstname</div> <div><strong>Last name:</strong> $lastname</div> <div><strong>Cars:</strong> <% loop cars %><% if not IsFirst %>, <% end_if %>$Me<% end_loop %></div> <div><strong>About:</strong> $about</div> <% end_loop %> <% end_with %>
