'use client';

import axios from 'axios';
import { jsontohtml } from 'jsontohtml-render';
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

export default function Home() {
  const [html, setHtml] = useState('');

  const makeRequest = async (url: string) => {
    const result = await axios.get(url);

    // Set the html as follows
    setHtml(jsontohtml(result.data));
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    const url = 'https://body-works.vercel.app/api/equipments';
    makeRequest(url);
  }, []);

  return <div className="h-full w-full" dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }}></div>;
}

Options

The html preview of the object can be fully customized with the options property.

Options usage examples

For increasing the font size, you also need to change the spacing (for better formatting):

jsontohtml(data, {
  fontSize: '25px',
  space: '40px',
  space_from_left: '80px',
  line_numbers: { space_from_left: '50px' },
  retractors: { space_from_left: '60px' },
});

You can change visibility of any components:

jsontohtml(data, {
  line_numbers: { show: false },

  // for better formatting
  space_from_left: '20px',
  retractors: { space_from_left: '5px' },
});

For changing colors:

jsontohtml(data, {
  colors: {
    background: 'white',
    keys: 'red',
    values: {
      string: 'green',
      number: '#FFA500',
      comma_colon_quotes: '#9c9c9c',
    },
  },
  bracket_pair_lines: { color: '#bcbcbc' },
});

For disabling links:

jsontohtml(data, {
  links: false,
});
