I’ve decided to release a private plugin that I’ve built over a year ago to work with client-side JSON like you would a Bubble datatype in the editor. Nothing fancy.
I usually just push my plugins out as soon as I make em, but I made a deal with the owner of a paid plugin that does this. She’s not active anymore so…
Editor: coffeehat-sandbox | Bubble Editor
Demo: It’s a crappy demo but it works
Plugin: TCH - JSON to Type Plugin | Bubble
Reminder: I update or fix my plugins only when I want to or if the bug is crippling, like you’re banging your head crippling
Short Description
There are 2 elements
-
TCH - T2JSON element
Takes a list of Bubble Things or API Connector types and converts them to JSON.
Note that the JSON keys will use may not use the field names you specify. It uses keys that Bubble uses appended with the type eg. “field_name_field_type”. -
TCH - J2Type element
This takes a JSON and converts it to an API Connector Datatype. Just create a GET API call in a collection and then paste your a Raw JSON sample to initialize. Voila, it will appear as an API Connector type.
More help text in the element’s property editor
There are helpers like
- sorting by key
- extracting a single record from an array
- 1 action to help you change a value of a key. You point to the key using JSONPath expression.
I’m building a more complete JSON Path plugin to complement this plugin. I need one for my own use cases. The others are kind of limiting cause they don’t support bulk edits and mine does. It’s in the demo right at the bottom.
