Style Requirements

• Bootstrap

• config: JsonEditoConfig : configuration object. See configuration docs for options.
• schema: JSONSchema : valid json-schema for the record. See json schema limitations
• record: object : valid json to be edited.
• recordChange: EventEmitter<object> : emitted when record change, $event is the edited record.
• jsonPatches: Array<JsonPatch> : array of json patches to be displayed as conflicts. See json-patch RFC
• jsonPatchesChange: EventEmitter<Array<JsonPatch>> : emitted when jsonPatches change, $event is the update array of json patches.
• problemMap (={}) : problems for individual parts of the record (format should be problem-map.json
• templates: { [templateName: string]: TemplateRef<any> } : Templates with name, to be used by configured fields for example autocomplete result item.

Json Schema Limitations

anyOf

ng2-json-editor has very limited support for anyOf, support where all anyOf items have same properties and they are objects with primitive properties. Before display, it picks the first anyOf item, merges all enum values and removes pattern and format rules.
