Version 2.1.0

13 Sep, 2022

This is a minor release, nevertheless brings some exciting new features and some bugfixes.

What's new

New features

• Data validation
  APIs for data validation and displaying error messages under input fields.
• Validation keywords
  Support for validation keywords such as: required, uniqueItems, minLength, maxLength, minimum, maximum, exclusiveMinimum, exclusiveMaximum, multipleOf.
• Autocomplete widget
  New autocomplete widget which can be used to load options from the server via AJAX.
• 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.
• Time widget improvements
  Time widget's input spinner is now circular i.e. after reaching maximum value, it will go back to 0 (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).
• Range input widget
  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.

This is a major release with lots of new features, plenty of bugfixes, significant internal rewrite and, therefore, some breaking changes.

What's new

• Schema validation
  Schema will be validated for errors while new form component is created.
• File uploads
  New keyword called handler has been added for file uploads. Use this to provide the URL endpoint where files will be uploaded to.
• New APIs for browser component
  APIs for controlling the form component in the browser such as handling change events and dynamically updating the schema.
• Exception reporter for browser component
  New exception reporter will now display schema errors in the browser. Currently, it's primitive but will evolve in future.
• Docs, Live demos, Interactive playground
  https://bhch.github.io/react-json-form/.

Bugfixes

• #32: Display help text under "Select file" button (of file-url field).
• #33: If default value for integer type was 0, it was being overwritten by null.
• #34: Make multiselect widget work on top level arrays.
• #35: Boolean type will be null by default. Earlier, the default for boolean was false.
• #36: Make select input respect falsy values.
• #37: Add support for date-time (from the standard spec) as an alias for datetime.
• #39: Respect minItems when creating or syncing arrays.

Breaking changes

Main Form component (src/form.js)

If you directly use the Form component (such as in Node projects), the following notes are for you.

• Renamed Form component to ReactJSONForm.
• Removed fileListEndpoint and fileUploadEndpoint props. Now use fileHandler prop instead.
• The form component will requires two compulsory props: state (instance of EditorState) and onChange (a callback function for handling the changes).
• Boolean type will be null by default. Earlier, the default for boolean was false.

Browser component (src/renderer.js)

If you use the component in the browser (and not in Node projects), the following notes are for you

• Removed JsonForm function which was used for creating the form component in browsers. Instead use the new createForm function.
• Removed uid config option.
• Removed fileListEndpoint and fileUploadEndpoint config options. Use the new fileHandler option which serves the purpose of both.

Version 1.13.0

What's new

• Ability to choose existing files from the server

01 Jun, 2022

What's new

• Support for references and recursive nesting
  Added support for $ref and $def keywords for referencing other parts of schema.

Bugfixes
