TYPO3 extension bw_jsoneditor

Integrates the svelte-jsoneditor into the TYPO3 Backend.

Installation

Composer

composer require blueways/bw-jsoneditor

TER

Download the zip file from TYPO3 extension repository (TER).

Usage

The extension adds a new custom input with renderType jsonEditor. You can use the new type in TCA or Content Blocks.

TCA

When adding a new field to your TCA, use the type user and the renderType jsonEditor:

ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns('my_table', [
    'new_field' => [
        'label' => 'My JSON Field',
        'config' => [
            'type' => 'user',
            'renderType' => 'jsonEditor',
        ],
    ],
]);

Make sure the database column of your field is large enough:

-- ext_tables.sql

CREATE TABLE my_table (
    new_field text
);

Content Blocks

You can use the new renderType in Content Blocks by adding the following configuration:

fields:
    -   identifier: new_field
        label: 'My JSON Field'
        type: Textarea
        renderType: jsonEditor

Configuration

You can configure the JSON Editor with the offical API by adding the settings to the options array:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['my_table']['columns']['my_field']['config']['options'] = [
    'mode' => 'tree'
];

The new option height controls the maximum height of the editor, it defaults to auto. Setting a value in pixels will set a fixed height to the editor.
