@rhidium/json-editor
This is a simple, web-based JSON editor for our Discord bots, but it can be used with any JSON schema. It is only meant to be used locally and is merely intended as a convenient solution for our users that aren't familiar with JSON.
When a JSON is saved locally, a backup will be created of the original file (if is exists) before it is created.
Using the editor
Install the package: npm i @rhidium/json-editor
And start the express app:
scripts/json-editor.js
// CommonJS
const { startJSONEditor } = require('@rhidium/json-editor')
const { readFileSync } = require('fs')
// ESM
import { startJSONEditor } from '@rhidium/json-editor'
import { readFileSync } from 'fs'
const jsonSchema = readFileSync('./config.schema.json', 'utf-8');
startJSONEditor({
port: 3000,
dataFilePath: './config.json',
data: {}, // Default data, if not read from file
createBackup: true,
schemaString: jsonSchema
}, {
// Some additional editor options
// All native @json-editor/json-editor options are available
// These are our defaults
theme: 'bootstrap5',
iconlib: "fontawesome5",
disable_collapse: false,
disable_edit_json: true,
disable_properties: true,
no_additional_properties: true,
})
And start the script: node scripts/json-editor.js
