Updates for the new REACT?

[alex-newray]

Will there be an update for the new REACT 15?

Hi Alex,

It's been a while that I don't use react-json in my dialy work. I suppose that the errors comes from the CSS and the absence of the inner tags.

Do you dare to make a PR to make it work again?

Cheers,
Javi

I made a quick fork and fixed a few things. There were a few errors related to findDomNode() being deprecated as of react v15.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this library back when 0.13 was still floating around, so I am not sure if I have full functionality restored. As for tests, it's not clear to me on how to run those as no documentation/setup instructions are included :-)

@alex-newray @arqex Could you check out this fork and see what's missing?

One thing I noticed is that the css does not get loaded automagically, but perhaps that is by design. Since I'm using Webpack for the project I am using this in, this is not a biggie as it's easily solved with a quick css-loader.

@hilkeheremans Yes, it works. Only need to change depending on new react
@arqex @hilkeheremans I would like to see the updated version in npm
Thank you

@hilkeheremans can you make a PR for your changes? It looks like they are working.

Thanks @hilkeheremans .

Have you tried this component while using Redux? I can't get the onChange event to fire when I'm using redux.

Nice to see movement in this repo. The project where I use react-json is not in react 15, that's why this issue was a bit forgotten.

I'll try to merge @hilkeheremans PR this evening ;)

Thanks

Merged thanks.

I have a question. How do you use this library? I created it in the early days of react because handling deep changes in deep trees of data was so challenging, and what's a better example than a JSON editor for that?

After that, I created freezer.js to manage those changes, and redux became very famous, and I started using react-json as a quick way of creating forms and editing generic data, but all that logic about extending/collapsing nodes is not useful to me any longer.

I think this library could be revamped to work really well as a form editor, but I don't know if there is people who likes its json editor features, or if there will be devs interested in another (but the simplest) form generator.

I vote for providing only the form generator functionality.
That has been very useful but I have not found any use case for the JSON editor.
