v-model prints [object Object] instead of the JSON string

I have a JSON object that I want users to edit.



When I print it plainly, like json I get the string, "car":"color":"blue". But when I print it in any sort of editable field, like



<input v-model="json">


I get this:



enter image description here



Things I've tried:




  • html:v-model / html:value - Empty input


  • <textarea v-model="json">json</textarea> - I get [object Object], BUT when I inspect the element, I see the JSON printed like a string - which is what I want!

How do I get v-model to print JSON as a string in an input?

          You can always use JSON.stringify(someObject) to get the stringified version of an object, however you cannot bind this via v-model.



          If I understand you correctly, you do actually want the user to edit the stringified json and not provide input fields for the object properties? (The latter would be a much cleaner solution and could easily be achieved with a v-for="(value, key) in object" though)



          But if that's the case, you also have to consider what to do when the user enters invalid json.



          My approach to this would be to use a stringified version of the object to bind to the textarea v-model and watch it to determine on any change if it is a valid and parsable json format.



          Working example here: https://codesandbox.io/s/ol9nn9j566

          It'd probably need some debouncing, and better error handling but it should get you started.
