Django-jsonform

June 03, 2022

This release brings some exciting new features while remaining fully backwards-compatible with the previous release (2.9.x).

Like the previous version, it also supports `Django >= 2.0` and `Python >= 3.4`.

What's new

New features

- **`additionalProperties`**
Now `additionalProperties` key can have a sub-schema of its own. Earlier, additional keys could only be of string type. But now additional keys can be anything. It also supports referencing other schema.
- **Referencing and recursion**
Now you can use the `$ref` keyword to reference and reuse other parts of the schema. This means you can even recursively nest an object into itself. Support for the `$defs` keyword has also been added so that you can declare common schema snippets in one place for reusing.
- **`JSONField`**
`JSONField` now accepts a new parameter called **`pre_save_hook`** which can be used to process or transform the JSON data before saving.

Minor improvements
- 38: If an array has minItems set to 0 or undefined, it will be kept blank initially. If it has a default value, it will use the default value instead of being blank. Earlier, an empty item was automatically added to an array which could be undesirable in many cases.

Breaking changes

The internal HTML structure of the widget, i.e. how the the fields are rendered, has been changed. Due to this, some of the CSS code has also been changed.

You don’t need to worry about this unless you’ve written custom CSS styles for the widget. If so, this is something to beware of.

Feb 14, 2022

This version introduces no breaking changes and is fully compatible with the previous releases (2.7.x).

Like the previous version, it also supports `Django >= 2.0` and `Python >= 3.4`.

What's new

New features
- **Datetime input**
Support for datetime input has been added for ``string`` type fields using ``format: 'datetime'`` key.
Read about its usage here: [Datetime field](https://django-jsonform.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guide/inputs.html#datetime-field).

- **Multiple choice selection**
Support for multiple choice selection. Learn more in usage docs: [Multiple selections](https://django-jsonform.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guide/choices.html#multiple-selections).

- **Default value for array**
Support for ``default`` initial value for an array. Earlier, only array itemscould have a default value.
The problem with that is when a new item was added, the same default value was also added again.
With this feature, it is now possible to set multiple default values on an array.

- **Clearable file inputs**
Now file upload inputs can be cleared, i.e. their value can be unset.
Earlier, it wasn't possible to empty a file input once a value was attached.

Now the callable schema function may optionally receive the current model instance as an argument.

Bugfixes

- 27: Fixed a bug to make the editor work in admin inlines.

Minor improvements

- **Autogrowing textarea**
Textarea's height will now grow automatically as the user types in. This saves the user from having to manually resize the textarea.

- **Animated list items**
List items will have a nice animation when moved up/down or removed. This will help provide some feedback to the user.
Earlier it wasn't obvious when list items were moved.
