Render Engine JSON

JSON Parser and Collection Module for Render Engine

Installation

pip install render_engine_json

Usage

The render-engine-json extends render-engine to allow you to build pages and collections using JSON.

The JSONPageParser class can be used to parse a single JSON page and the JSONCollection class can be used to parse a single collection of JSON pages.

NOTE The JSONCollection class is designed to work with a single JSON file that contains an array of JSON Objects or a JSON Hash where the keys are the slugs. If you want to work with multiple JSON files you can use a regular Collection and the JSONPageParser as the parser.

Single JSON Page Entry

To create a json entry you will need the JSONPageParser class as the Parser for your Page Object.

You can pass the page a json string or a json file path.

As a string

from render_engine import Page, Site
from render_engine_json import JSONPageParser

site = Site()

json_page = """
{
    "title": "My JSON Page",
    "content": "This is my json page"
}
"""

@site.page
class JSONStringPage(Page):
    parser = JSONPageParser
    content = json_page

As a file

@site.page
class JSONFilePage(Page):
    parser = JSONPageParser
    content = "path/to/json/file.json"

JSON Collection

To create a JSON collection you will need the JSONCollection Object.

You can pass the collection a json string or a json file path.

As a string

from render_engine import Site, Collection
from render_engine_json import JSONCollection, JSONPageParser

site = Site()

json_collection = """
[
    {
        "title": "My JSON Page",
        "content": "This is my json page"
    },
    {
        "title": "My JSON Page 2",
        "content": "This is my json page 2"
    }
]
"""

@site.collection
class JSONStringCollection(Collection):
    parser = JSONPageParser
    content = json_collection
