django-flat-json-widget

---

If you ever needed to store a flexible dictionary of keys and values in your django models, you may have felt the need of giving your users a widget to easily manipulate the data by adding or removing rows, instead of having to edit the raw JSON.

This package solves exactly that problem: it offers a widget to manipulate a flat JSON object made of simple keys and values.

Compatibility

Tested on python >= 3.7 and Django >= 3.0.

It should work also on previous versions of Django.

    class Meta:
        widgets = {
            'content': FlatJsonWidget
