Project description

# django-prettyjson

[![PyPi Version](https://badge.fury.io/py/django-prettyjson.png)](https://badge.fury.io/py/django-prettyjson) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kevinmickey/django-prettyjson.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kevinmickey/django-prettyjson)

Enables pretty JSON viewer in Django forms, admin, or templates

## Demo

See http://kevinmickey.github.io/django-prettyjson

## Installation

At the command line:

```sh
pip install django-prettyjson
```

## Configuration

Add `'prettyjson'` to `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py`:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'prettyjson',
)
```

## Usage

In a form or admin of a model, enable a pretty JSON viewer for a particular field:

```python
import prettyjson

class JsonForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Test
fields = '__all__'
widgets = {
'myjsonfield': PrettyJSONWidget(),
}

class JsonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = JsonAdminForm
```

Enable pretty JSON viewer for every JSONField of a model:

```python
class JsonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
formfield_overrides = {
jsonfield.JSONField: {'widget': PrettyJSONWidget }
}
```

In templates, you can also enable a pretty JSON viewer. Use the `prettyjson` template tag with a string JSON or with objects (dicts, QuerySets, etc.) that can be serialized to a JSON. Note that the template tag must be loaded using `{% load prettyjson %}`. It also has CSS and JS that must be included using `{% prettyjson_setup %}`.

```htmldjango
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% load prettyjson %}

{% block header %}
{{ block.super }}
{% prettyjson_setup %}
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
{% prettyjson myqueryset %}
{% prettyjson mydict %}
{% prettyjson '{"hey": "guy","anumber": 243,"anobject": {"whoa": "nuts","anarray": [1,2,"thr<h1>ee"], "more":"stuff"},"awesome": true,"bogus": false,"meaning": null, "japanese":"明日がある。", "link": "http://jsonview.com", "notLink": "http://jsonview.com is great"}' %}
{% prettyjson '{}' %}
{% endblock %}
```
