Choices

You can specify choices for an input field using the choices keyword.

Choices can be specified for any type of input - string, number, boolean etc.

Specifying choices

{
    'type': 'string',
    'choices': ['Eggs', 'Milk', 'Juice']
}

You can also specify a different label for displaying to the user while the underlying value is different.

{
    'type': 'string',
    'choices': [
        {'label': 'New York', 'value': 'NY'},
        {'label': 'California', 'value': 'CA'},
        {'label': 'Texas', 'value': 'TX'},
}

Customizing the input field

By default, a select input is rendered for the choices.

You can also use a radio input using the widget keyword:

{
    'type': 'string',
    'choices': ['Eggs', 'Milk', 'Juice'],
    'widget': 'radio'
}

Dynamic choices

In some cases, you might want to return choices dynamically, such as by reading objects from the database.

For that purpose, the schema can be a callable object:

def dynamic_schema():
    # here, you can create a schema dynamically
    # such as read data from database and populate choices
    schema = {...}
    return schema


class MyModel(models.Model):
    items = JSONField(schema=dynamic_schema)

Selecting multiple items

Currently only one item can be selected. This is because the string type can’t be a list.

For multiple selections, you should use an array.
