JSON Forms - More Forms. Less Code

Complex forms in the blink of an eye

JSON Forms eliminates the tedious task of writing fully-featured forms by hand by leveraging the capabilities of JSON, JSON Schema and Javascript.

Angular Material Renderers Package

This is the JSONForms Angular Material renderers package. This package only contains renderers and must be combined with JSON Forms Angular.

See the official documentation and the JSON Forms Angular seed repository for examples on how to integrate JSON Forms with your application.

Check https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%40jsonforms for all published JSON Forms packages.

Quick start

Install JSON Forms Core, Angular and Angular Material Renderers

npm i --save @jsonforms/core @jsonforms/angular @jsonforms/angular-material
Copy

Use the json-forms component for each form you want to render and hand over the renderer set.

Example component file app.component.ts:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { angularMaterialRenderers } from '@jsonforms/angular-material';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<jsonforms
    [data]="data"
    [schema]="schema"
    [uischema]="uischema"
    [renderers]="renderers"
  ></jsonforms>`,
})
export class AppComponent {
  renderers = angularMaterialRenderers;
  uischema = {
    type: 'VerticalLayout',
    elements: [
      {
        type: 'Control',
        label: false,
        scope: '#/properties/done',
      },
      {
        type: 'Control',
        scope: '#/properties/name',
      },
      {
        type: 'HorizontalLayout',
        elements: [
          {
            type: 'Control',
            scope: '#/properties/due_date',
          },
          {
            type: 'Control',
            scope: '#/properties/recurrence',
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  };
  schema = {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      name: {
        type: 'string',
        minLength: 1,
      },
      done: {
        type: 'boolean',
      },
      due_date: {
        type: 'string',
        format: 'date',
      },
      recurrence: {
        type: 'string',
        enum: ['Never', 'Daily', 'Weekly', 'Monthly'],
      },
    },
    required: ['name', 'due_date'],
  };
  data = {};
}
Copy

Example module file app.module.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { JsonFormsModule } from '@jsonforms/angular';
import { JsonFormsAngularMaterialModule } from '@jsonforms/angular-material';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    JsonFormsModule,
    JsonFormsAngularMaterialModule,
  ],
  schemas: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
