django-jsonform 2.12.0 release notes

Sep 17, 2022

This release brings some exciting new features and a few bugfixes and improvements.

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

New features

• Data validation
  Support for data validation.

• Validation keywords
  Support for validation keywords — required, minLength, maxLength, minimum,
  maximum, exclusiveMinimum, exclusiveMaximum, uniqueItems.

• Autocomplete widget
  New autocomplete widget which can load choices via AJAX requests.

• File deletion
  A delete button has been added in Media Library thumbnails which will send a
  DELETE request to file handler endpoint. In addition to that, DELETE
  requests will automatically be sent to the server when Clear button is clicked
  or when exiting page without form submission.

• Rename choices label keyword to title
  For consistency with JSON schema, choice label keyword has been renamed to
  title. However, the label keyword will still continue to work.

• Range input
  Support for range input widget. Earlier range input was added using the format
  keyword, but as a range input also returns a number value (no need for a specialised format).
  Hence, it didn't make sense to use range as a format. So, now range inputs can
  be created using the widget keyword.

• Time widget improvements
  Time widget's input spinner is now circular i.e. after reaching maximum or minimum
  value, it will start over (e.g. after 12 for hours, it will go to 0 if the hour is
  incremented and will go from 0 to 12 if decremented).

Bugfixes

• #58: Overriding the widget in custom form's Meta class was not respected.
• #61: Widget didn't accept attrs argument.
• Minor improvements and fixes in widget's CSS.

django-jsonform 2.10.1 release notes

June 10, 2022

django-jsonform v2.10.1 fixes a "high" severity security vulnerability which affects all previous versions.

XSS (Cross Site Scripting) vulnerability in the admin form

django-jsonform stores the raw JSON data of the database field in a hidden textarea on the admin page.

However, that data was kept in the textarea after unescaping it using the safe template filter. This opens up possibilities for XSS attacks.

This only affects the admin pages where the django-jsonform is rendered.

django-jsonform 2.10.0 release notes

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.

react-json-form (JavaScript)

react-json-form has been updated to version 1.12.1.

django-jsonform 2.9.0 release notes

Apr 22, 2022

This version introduces some backwards-incompatible changes with the previous versions related to CSS styling and internal HTML structure.

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

What's new

New features

• Help text
  Support for displaying help text under inputs (using the help_text or helpText keyword).
• New template filters
  New template filters to help convert datetime strings into datetime objects in templates.
• Compatibility with Django-Grappelli admin
  Improvements to CSS to ensure compatibility with the Django-Grappelli admin.

Bugfixes

• #34: Fixed a CSS styling for Djang-Grappelli admin.
• #35: Fixed a bug to reset file input when the file is cleared.

react-json-form (JavaScript)

react-json-form has been updated to version 1.11.0.

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.

  Read about its usage here: Datetime field.

• Multiple choice selection
  Support for multiple choice selection. Learn more in usage docs: Multiple selections.

• Default value for array
  Support for default initial value for an array. Earlier, only array itemscould have a default value.

  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.

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.
