A model JSONField with an integrated form for django.
Before doing this app we looked up for a JSONField implementation, but all that we have found had nothing that fit our needs. Our needs are just a model field to store a json string and a form that is able to validate user input against our json fields requirements.
Just copy this project to any folder in your computer or use pip.
pip install vlk-django-jsonfield
To create your JSONField just use the same notation as an usual model field:
jsonfield = VLKJSONField(null=True, default=lambda: {'field1': False, 'field2': 'abc'})
[You must use lambda when using a dict as default] (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#default)
To use this field in a form just use the form field with the same name of your model field and the subname separated by __:
jsonfield__field1 = forms.CharField()
jsonfield__field2 = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
The right side is the usual of a form field.
This project is used in Vialink software since January, 2013. Are you using it? Let us know :)
Do the usual github fork and pull request dance.
