**react-json-view** (rjv) is a React component for displaying and editing javascript **arrays** and **JSON objects**.

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microlinkhq/react-json-view/docs/docs/assets/banner.png)

### Highlights

* `onEdit`, `onAdd` and `onDelete` props allow users to edit the `src` variable.
* Object, array, string and function values can be collapsed and expanded.
* Object and array nodes display length.
* Object and array nodes support a "Copy to Clipboard" feature.
* String values can be truncated after a specified length.
* Arrays can be subgrouped after a specified length.
* Base-16 Theme Support.
* When `onEdit` is enabled:
   * `Ctrl/Cmd+Click` Edit Mode
   * `Ctrl/Cmd+Enter` Submit

### Installation

```shell
npm install @microlink/react-json-view --save
```

### Server-Side Rendering (SSR) Compatibility

This component is fully compatible with server-side rendering environments like Next.js. The component gracefully handles server-side rendering by:

- Checking for browser environment availability before accessing DOM APIs
- Providing fallback behavior when `document`, `navigator`, or `window` objects are not available
- Using conditional imports for browser-specific dependencies like `react-textarea-autosize`
- Maintaining full functionality in client-side environments

The copy-to-clipboard feature and textarea editing will show warnings in the console during SSR but will work normally once the component is hydrated on the client side.

### Usage

```js
import ReactJsonView from '@microlink/react-json-view'

<ReactJsonView
  src={{
  string: 'this is a test string',
  integer: 42,
  array: [1, 2, 3, 'test', NaN],
  float: 3.14159,
  undefined: undefined,
  object: {
    'first-child': true,
    'second-child': false,
    'last-child': null
    },
  string_number: '1234',
  date: new Date(),
  bigNumber: new BigNumber('0.0060254656709730629123')
  }}
  showComma
/>
```

| `src`                        | `JSON Object`                                    | None                     | This property contains your input JSON.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `name`                       | `string` or `JSX.Element`                        | `false`                  | "root" - Contains the name of your root node. Use `null` or `false` for no name.                                                                                                                                                                                          |

Check out the list of supported themes [in the demo](https://react-json-view.microlink.io/). A custom "rjv-default" theme applies by default.                                                                                                |

| `collapsed`                  | `boolean` or `integer`                           | `false`                  | When set to `true`, all nodes will be collapsed by default. Use an integer value to collapse at a particular depth.                                                                                                                                                       |
| `collapseStringsAfterLength` | `integer`                                        | `false`                  | When an integer value is assigned, strings will be cut off at that length. Collapsed strings are followed by an ellipsis. String content can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the string value.                                                                   |
| `shouldCollapse`             | `(field)=>{}`                                    | `false`                  | Callback function to provide control over what objects and arrays should be collapsed by default. An object is passed to the callback containing `name`, `src`, `type` ("array" or "object") and `namespace`.                                                             |
| `groupArraysAfterLength`     | `integer`                                        | 100                      | When an integer value is assigned, arrays will be displayed in groups by count of the value. Groups are displayed with bracket notation and can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the brackets.                                                                    |
| `numberOfArrayGroupsToDisplay` | `integer` or `null`                              | `null`                   | When an integer value is assigned, only the specified number of array groups will be displayed. If there are more groups, an ellipsis will be shown. This works in conjunction with groupArraysAfterLength. When null (default), all groups are displayed (no change in behavior). |
| `enableClipboard`            | `boolean` or `(copy)=>{}`                        | `true`                   | When prop is not `false`, the user can copy objects and arrays to clipboard by clicking on the clipboard icon. Copy callbacks are supported.                                                                                                                              |
| `displayObjectSize`          | `boolean`                                        | `true`                   | When set to `true`, objects and arrays are labeled with size.                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| `displayDataTypes`           | `boolean`                                        | `true`                   | When set to `true`, data type labels prefix values.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

The callback is invoked before edits are completed. Returning `false` from `onEdit` will prevent the change from being made. [see: onEdit docs](#onedit-onadd-and-ondelete-interaction)           |
| `onAdd`                      | `(add)=>{}`                                      | `false`                  | When a callback function is passed in, `add` functionality is enabled. The callback is invoked before additions are completed. Returning `false` from `onAdd` will prevent the change from being made. [see: onAdd docs](#onedit-onadd-and-ondelete-interaction)          |
| `defaultValue`               | `string \| number \| boolean \| array \| object` | `null`                   | Sets the default value to be used when adding an item to JSON.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

The callback is invoked before deletions are completed. Returning `false` from `onDelete` will prevent the change from being made. [see: onDelete docs](#onedit-onadd-and-ondelete-interaction) |
| `onSelect`                   | `(select)=>{}`                                   | `false`                  | When a function is passed in, clicking a value triggers the `onSelect` method to be called.                                                                                                                                                                               |

The class should have a constructor that accepts a numeric string/value and a `name` property for display purposes. You can use existing libraries like `bignumber.js`, `decimal.js`, `big.js`, or provide your own implementation.                                                                                                               |

Interactive tools (clipboard, edit, delete icons) appear after the comma when hovering over JSON elements.                                                                                                                              |

#### Callbacks

You can pass callback methods to `onEdit`, `onAdd` and `onDelete` props.

Your method will be invoked when a user attempts to update your `src` object.

The following object will be passed to your method:
```js
{
    updated_src: src, //new src value
    name: name, //new var name
    namespace: namespace, //list, namespace indicating var location
    new_value: new_value, //new variable value
    existing_value: existing_value, //existing variable value
}
```

Returning `false` from a callback method will prevent the src from being affected.

### Theming

#### Builtin theme

#### Custom theme

**rjv** supports any base-16 theme. You can supply your own base-16 theme object.

To better understand custom themes, take a look at [my example implementation](https://github.com/microlinkhq/react-json-view/blob/7c154b9a7d83ea89dce2c171ebdf4d163ff49233/dev-server/src/index.js#L135) and the [base-16 theme styling guidelines](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16/blob/master/styling.md).
