Contributing

  • The JavaScript code is written in React and it lives in another repo: https://github.com/bhch/react-json-form.
    The JS code lacks proper documentation or comments, so before contributing, maybe open an issue and I can help you out.
  • For everything else (related to Django or widget's css), contribute directly to this repo.
