Json

The json input type groups a nested set of inputs under a single field that is serialised as a JSON object. Despite the config type being json, the hydrate outputs the schema type group — the frontend treats it as a field group rather than a raw JSON editor.

IMPORTANT

The output schema type is group, not json. If you are looking for a raw JSON / code-editor component, this is not it.

Hydrate

Class: JsonHydrateConfig type: jsonOutput type: group

The hydrate sets col.cols to 12 so the group always spans the full row width.

Usage

[
    'type'   => 'json',
    'name'   => 'meta',
    'label'  => 'Meta',
    'schema' => [
        [
            'type'  => 'text',
            'name'  => 'og_title',
            'label' => 'OG Title',
        ],
        [
            'type'  => 'text',
            'name'  => 'og_description',
            'label' => 'OG Description',
        ],
    ],
]

The submitted value for meta will be a JSON-encoded object of the nested field values.
