Autofill value type text filed with string on certain event instead of user typing in the text field.

[Laxmikantw]

First of all thank you for such a nice editor,

My use case is as below.
In react js,
I want replace the existing text in the value text filed (Not key side) on any event instead of user typing the text in text filed.
But I am unable to find such event where I can replace or insert text in the value text filed from any string variable.
can you please suggest the way how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance !!!

Thanks.

I do not really understand what you try to do, sorry. Can you give an example or so?

I want to autfill the text in the value field in the JSONEditor.
eg.
{
"name":_____
}

I have variable str = "john" and I want to autofill the value field for "name" key with "John" instead of typing.

In short,
While I am clicking in value field, one popup is appearing and I am selecting some string from that popup and I want to display/autofill that selected string in the respective value field in the jsonEditor.

Ok I see what you're trying to do. Some ideas:

• Maybe you can use onEvent to get a trigger when a user clicks inside a value, and then you can implement some popup
  Example: https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor/blob/develop/examples/17_on_event_api.html
• Maybe you can use the autocomplete option
  Example: https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor/blob/develop/examples/11_autocomplete_basic.html
• Maybe you can use onRenderMenu to create custom buttons
  Example: https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor/blob/develop/examples/21_customize_context_menu.html
