Basic usage of twig with the JCI-Plugin

Formatting of date

Here you see how date from JSON can be formatted by twig.
Example of JSON with dates: http://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/date.php

For that create a JCI-Template with:

time: {{time}}<br>
time-formatted: {{ time | date("l d.m.Y") }}<br>
date: {{date}}<br>
date-formatted: {{ date | date("l d.m.Y") }}<br>
otherdate: {{otherdate}}<br>
otherdate-formatted: {{ otherdate | date("l d.m.Y H:i:s") }}<br>

Then add [jsoncontentimporterpro nameoftemplate="dateformatting"] to a page:

time: 1664311256
time-formatted: Tuesday 27.09.2022
date: 2022-10-06T00:00:00.000+0000
date-formatted: Thursday 06.10.2022
otherdate: Tue, 27 Sep 22 22:40:56 +0200
otherdate-formatted: Tuesday 27.09.2022 20:40:56

API: Overview verkehr.autobahn.de/o/…

https://verkehr.autobahn.de/o/autobahn/A2/services/warning
gives a list of warnings

Local stored JSON: http://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/verkehrwarning.json

twig-template:

  • name: verkehr-autobahn
  • URL: see above
  • twig-template:
{% for i in warning %}
    <strong>{{i.subtitle}}</strong><br>
   {{i.description.0}}<br>
    <a href="/api-overview-verkehr-autobahn-de-o/?warningid={{i.identifier | url_encode}}">more</a><hr>
{% endfor %}

PRO: JCI-Template urlparam4twig

You can define a urlparam4twig-list like “one#two” via the shortcode “urlparam4twig ” or (preferrably) the JCI-plugin-template.

This gives you a flexible way to put a dynamic URL together for the API-call.

Create a template with the following settings. Save this template andput the shortcode on a page:

Click here and see the change in the following paragraph. You might change the values for the parameters.
In the back the twig code in the URL is executed and the values for “one” and “two” are used.

this is a template: <br>
time: {{ "now"|date("m.d.Y") }}<br>
urlparam "one": {{urlparam.one | e}}<br>
urlparam "two": {{urlparam.two | e}}

URL:

http://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/1.json?t={{ "now"|date("mdY") }}&a={{urlparam.one}}&b={{urlparam.two}}

PRO & Free: API api.coinpaprika.com and PRO-formatting of numbers

Challenge:
Show data from https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/exchanges/paribu?quotes=TRY

Local stored at http://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/coinpaprika.json

Free JCI:

[jsoncontentimporter url=http://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/coinpaprika.json]
{subloop:quotes:-1}
{subloop:quotes.TRY:-1} 
reported_volume_24h = {quotes.TRY.reported_volume_24h} 
{/subloop:quotes.TRY}
{/subloop:quotes}
[/jsoncontentimporter]

In Action:
Note the rounded number!

reported_volume_24h = 1243624306.49

PRO JCI:

twig-template:

Note how formatnumber is used. First we separate the number before and after the decimal point. Then we use formatnumber for the number before the decimal point only.

quotes.TRY.reported_volume_24h: {{quotes.TRY.reported_volume_24h}}<br>
{% set lire = quotes.TRY.reported_volume_24h|split('.') %}
reported_volume_24h =  {{lire.0 | formatnumber(0, '', ',') }}.{{lire.1}}

Shortcode:
convertjsonnumbers2strings=yes converts numbers into strings. Otherwise WordPress / PHP would round those numbers.

[jsoncontentimporterpro id=_NO_OF_TEMPLATE convertjsonnumbers2strings=yes]

In Action:

quotes.TRY.reported_volume_24h: 1243624306.492943
reported_volume_24h = 1,243,624,306.492943

twig: Pick items out of a array-list

Challlenge: Pick single items out of a JSON like this.

Solution: see the following twig-syntax

  • URL: see above
  • twig-template:
{{hospitalizationData.0.1.0}}: {{hospitalizationData.1.1.0 }}<br>
{{hospitalizationData.0.1.1 }}: {{hospitalizationData.1.1.1 }}<br>
{{hospitalizationData.0.1.2 }}: {{hospitalizationData.1.1.2 }}

In Action:

Critical condition: 84

PRO & Free, Gutenberg: API raw.githubusercontent.com

Via wordpress.org the question came in on how to use raw.githubusercontent.com… (see also here) with the free plugin.

Free JCI:

[jsoncontentimporter url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/signorejambo/tank-stock/master/tank-life.json numberofdisplayeditems=-1 basenode=tank]
fish: {subloop-array:fish:-1}quantity: {fish.quantity}<br>{/subloop-array:fish}
plants: {subloop-array:plants:-1}species: {plants.species}<br>{/subloop-array:plants}
[/jsoncontentimporter]

Another Free-Way is via the JCI-Gutenberg-Block (part of the free JCI):

PRO JCI: 

{% for level_4_item in _context['tank']['fish'] %} 
quantity = {{ level_4_item['quantity'] }} 
species = {{ level_4_item['species'] }} 
{% endfor %} 
{% for level_4_item in _context['tank']['plants'] %} 
species = {{ level_4_item['species'] }} 
latin = {{ level_4_item['latin'] }}
{% endfor %} 
{% for level_4_item in _context['tank']['heaven'] %} 
quantity = {{ level_4_item['quantity'] }} 
species = {{ level_4_item['species'] }} 
reason = {{ level_4_item['reason'] }} 
{% endfor %}

Numbers and Strings in free and PRO plugin

Numbers and Strings:
See this JSON:

{"num": 3.5050, "str": "3.4040" }

There is a little difference: “num” is without quotation marks, “str” is with.
The JSON Content Importer Plugin and the PHP behind that handles the “num” as numeric data and removes the 0 at the end.

Free JCI:

[jsoncontentimporter url=http://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/number.json]num: {num}, str: {str}[/jsoncontentimporter]

Free JCI in Action:
Note the missing 0 for the value of “num”

num: 3.505, str: 3.4040

PRO JCI:

To “save” the 0 you need the PRO plugin – unfortunately: There “convertjsonnumbers2strings=yes” converts the JSON to do this.

JCI-Shortcode:

[jsoncontentimporterpro nameoftemplate="twig-numbers" convertjsonnumbers2strings=yes]

JCI-Template:

  • URL: see above
  • twig-template:
{{num}} {{str}}

PRO in action:
