[JSON viewer] Make JSON data editable

Open captainbrosset opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

From @BenClist-BC2 in https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/DevTools/issues/238#issuecomment-2083635047:

we use browser extensions to take JSON data and make it editable. One example of this allows administrators to make easy updates and fixes to records in Microsoft Dataverse on data that isn't necessarily displayed on the frontend.

@BenClist-BC2 Can you explain how you make the data editable exactly? Does the extension you use have a way to save the data back to disk? Which extension is it?

@captainbrosset It's writing back to Dataverse directly, it's not something you want to build into Edge. There's a public example that uses the same approach here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/prettifymywebapi-for-micr/pcgbnpkpijlcjeleijaaahlonafdlfno

Oh ok, got it. So this is different from what I thought this issue was about. Let's keep this issue to track making the built-in JSON viewer able to edit JSON responses or files though.
