Strapi Plugin Json Gui

A custom Strapi field designed for managing complex JSON structures through an intuitive graphical user interface.

Installation

To install this plugin, add an NPM dependency to your Strapi application:

# Using Yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-json-gui

# Or using NPM
npm i strapi-plugin-json-gui

Next, build your admin panel:

# Using Yarn
yarn build

# Or using NPM
npm run build

Configuration

After installation, enable the plugin in your ./config/plugins.js file:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  'strapi-plugin-json-gui': {
    enabled: true,
  },
  // ...
});

Usage

Once installed and configured, you'll find a new field type in the content type builder.

You can then add the JSON schema for the field, allowing you to add/edit/clone/delete any valid JSON schema.

In this case, the API will return:

{
  "data": {
    "id": 1,
    "attributes": {
      "menu": {
        "menu": [
          {
              "title": "Home",
              "url": "/home"
          },
          {
              "title": "About",
              "url": "/about"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
