I was wondering if you could start out with a brief description of what JSONQuery is? You’ve been developing JSONQuery over the last few years, and today I have the honor of presenting and discussing it here with you on FileMaker Hacks. (Yes, it’s possible to accomplish the preceding with variables as well, but the aim here is to keep things simple).ĭemo file: connecting-portals-to-json-arrays.zipĬontinue reading “Connecting Portals to JSON Arrays” → 2 Comments JSON, Level: Advanced, Version: FM 18 or later JSONQuery, part 2ĭemo file: CF_JSONQuery_20211130_0120_ As you navigate from record to record within the demo, the portals will reconfigure themselves to accommodate the corresponding JSON.You will see changes made in the portal immediately reflected in the JSON, and vice-versa.(Why would you want to do this? One use case would be to provide dynamic scrollable selection criteria for a report.)Īt any rate, today we’re going to take a look at a little proof-of-concept I threw together to enable portals to display and edit data in JSON arrays. In a real-world implementation, the JSON would likely be sitting in a $$variable, which, among other things, would help make the technique multi-user friendly. Here, in the interest of simplicity, I’ve opted to store the JSON in a regular text field.
Have you ever wished you could connect a portal to a JSON array? Portals and JSON arrays seem like they should be a natural fit, but FileMaker doesn’t offer us an obvious way to connect one to the other.
