153
+ For restricting data types, the (Type) filter function is slightly more sophisticated. The input is the same, but the output can be either a `boolean` (which would restrict the available types for a given node to either *all* or *none*), or an array of data types to be restricted to. The available values are:

+ ## Custom nodes
347
+
348
+ You can replace certain nodes in the data tree with your own custom components. An example might be for an image display, or a custom date editor, or just to add some visual bling. See the "Custom Nodes" data set in the [interactive demo](https://carlosnz.github.io/json-edit-react/) to see it in action.
349
+
350
+ Custom nodes are provided in the `customNodeDefinitions` prop, as an array of objects of following structure:
351
+
352
+ ```js
353
+ {
354
+ condition, // a FilterFunction, as above
355
+ element, // React Component
356
+ props, // object (optional)
357
+ hideKey, // boolean (optional)
358
+ showInTypesSelector, // boolean (optional)
359
+ defaultValue, // JSON value for a new instance of your component
360
+ name // string
361
+ }
362
+ ```
363
+
364
+ The `condition` is just a [Filter function](#filter-functions), with the same input parameters (`key`, `path`, `level`, `value`, `size`), and `element` is a React component. Every node in the data structure will be run through each condition function, and any that match will be replaced by your custom component. Note that if a node matches more than one custom definition conditions (from multiple components), the *first* one will be used, so place them in the array in priority order.
365
+
366
+ The component will receive *all* the same props as a standard node component (see codebase), but you can pass additional props to your component if required through the `props` object.
367
+
368
+ By default, your component will be presented to the right of the property key it belongs to, like any other value. However, you can hide the key itself by setting `hideKey: true`, and the custom component will take the whole row. (See the "Presented by" box in the "Custom Nodes" data set for an example.)
369
+
370
+ You can allow users to create new instances of your special nodes by selecting them as a "Type" in the types selector when editing/adding values. Set `showInTypesSelector: true` to enable this. However, if this is enabled you need to also provide a `name` (which is what the user will see in the selector) and a `defaultValue` which is the data that is inserted when the user selects this "type". (The `defaultValue` must return `true` if passed through the `condition` function in order for it to be immediately displayed using your custom component.)
