django_remote_jsonschema_forms

A package that allows you to serialize django forms, including fields and widgets into Python dictionary for easy conversion into JSON Schema.

This way one can expose a django form using the JSON Schema standard.

These forms can be then rendered using JS libraries like react-jsonschema-form.

This package is heavily based on django-remote-forms, which we have used as an example.

We have changed the output format that django-remote-forms provides and return a JSON Schema compatible format.

Usage

Say you have a django form like this one:

from django.db import models
from django import forms

class Task(models.Model):
    text = models.TextField("Text")
    email = models.TextField("Text")

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model =  Task

You can create a view to expose it in JSON Schema like this:

from .forms import MyForm
from django_remote_jsonschema_forms.forms import RemoteJSONSChemaForm
from django.http import JsonResponse

def json_schema_form_view(request):
    form = MyForm()
    remote_form = RemoteJSONSChemaForm(form)
    return JsonResponse(remote_form.as_dict())

Remember that you will need to register a url in urls.py to expose it.
