An extension for CKAN enabling arbitrary, on-the-fly patching of JSON output dictionaries, using the JSON Patch mechanism described by RFC6902.
This extension has been developed and tested with CKAN version 2.8.2.
Activate your CKAN virtual environment:
. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
Install the latest development version of ckanext-jsonpatch and its dependencies:
cd /usr/lib/ckan/default
pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/SAEONData/ckanext-jsonpatch.git#egg=ckanext-jsonpatch'
pip install -r src/ckanext-jsonpatch/requirements.txt
In a production environment, you'll probably want to pin a specific release version instead, e.g.:
pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/SAEONData/ckanext-jsonpatch.git@v1.0.0#egg=ckanext-jsonpatch'
Create the required database tables:
cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckanext-jsonpatch
paster jsonpatch initdb -c /etc/ckan/default/development.ini
Open your CKAN configuration file (e.g. /etc/ckan/default/production.ini) and
add jsonpatch to the list of plugins :
ckan.plugins = ... jsonpatch
Restart your CKAN instance.
