noahgorstein / jqp Goto Github PK

It would be useful to be able to specify the query via the command line and have the query input pre-populated with the query, and the results applying the query.

My example use case is that I'm using jq to run queries and view them on the command line. It would be handy to easily switch to jqp to have the results displayed in jqp instead.

I realise I could just pipe data through jq before jqp (eg. jq 'my query' | jqp) but it would be helpful for the query to be passed in too.

So something like:

curl "http://mydomain.com" | jqp 'my query'

Thanks.

I use brew to install jqp
Although it can query as normal, but it shows like that.

Machine information:
MacOS: Sonoma 14.0
2.3 GHz 4 cores Intel Core i5

iTerm2: Build 3.4.21
jqp version: v0.5.0

Thanks

It would be nice if you can output the results to stdout. This way you can use it in a pipe, for example:

jqp <file.json | rg 'something' | vipe >output

I personally like the vulcan theme, except that the KeywordConstant token uses a grey background.

The ability to override specific parts of a theme in the config file would be nice.

There is a map of TokenType to string in chroma, which can be used in combination with a chroma.StyleBuilder to override specific parts.

For the configuration, I propose a subkey to the theme:, like overrides:. For example:

theme: "vulcan"
  overrides:
    - "kc": "#CF5967"
    - "nf": "#FFFFFF bold"

The quick.Highlight function only supports the chroma style name, so it can't be used with customized styles, but the function itself is only about 28 lines of code (less if we hardcode lexer and formatter), so it's feasible to copy it and allow it to take a chroma.Style directly (the change is also just removing 3 lines).

I noticed that sometimes arrays aren't formatted correctly but when you grab one element it works just fine. Also, when the json isn't able to be parsed the output indicator also shows NaN%

I'm thinking about

• launching test on PR

• launching golangci-lint on PR

• checking typos (avoid corrective PR like #59)

• dependabot to make sure dependencies are up to date, but also that github actions are also kept up to date

Hi there,

this is a nice tool, very similar to @gpanders/ijq which I've been using so far. The main difference (and why I'll be continuing to use ijq for now) is that ijq continually evaluates the expression, not just on Enter. This allows iterating, playing and trying things faster.

Maybe this is something you'd consider having as well? If not as default mode then at least with a hotkey for switching?

Thanks for writing this tool! 🙂

It would be really useful to be able to copy the query to clipboard so that I can share the query with others. At the moment, I can't highlight the query and tmux select doesn't work either.

Hello,

Thank you for providing a wonderful tool that I use almost every day! This is a very minor thing, but it would be great if jqp could somehow disable the cursor blinking when the terminal window it's running in does not have focus. My jqp workflow frequently involves toggling between multiple windows on multiple screens and when I see a blinking cursor my brain immediately thinks that window has focus and I'll start typing and entering jqp things that are actually going elsewhere (text editors, web browsers, company Slack channels 🤦‍♂️ , etc.).

Not sure if this is an upstream bubbletea thing, but it would be great to have if possible. Thanks again!

would be great if this had persisted history! .jqp_history like a zsh/bash session

Thanks for the great tool!

makes it rather difficult to parse. installed from AUR, v0.5.0

I think it would be very helpful for users like me, who are not familiar with jq syntax and do many tries and experiments searching for solving their issues.
It would be great if I can select a previously executed query from the dropdown and have the ability to edit it and execute it again.

Since you're so great implementing my requested features I've got another one for you hahaha 😛
Would be cool to have a tiny cheatsheet built-in with common operations, when you press a hotkey for help.

You could maybe implement this by just rendering a markdown file with all the options, not sure if there is something fancy like that in this go lib. But I think it would be a quick win.

Would be nice to have a hotkey to save the query in the clipboard, so I can use it in my scripts.
Maybe one with the full (escaped) command, and one with just the query.

jq can easily handle streams of json objects:

{}
{}
{}

They can for example be wrapped into list with [inputs], where inputs is a keyword for input stream.

It would be great if jqp could load such streams like jq does. For now it fails with an error of invalid JSON.

Here it says ".jqp" (without extension), but in the help it says .jqp.yaml

Hi,
It would make jqp more convenient if it could handle jsonl file aka one json per line.

Love that we have another interactive jq client, thank you for developing it. I was wondering if you'd consider vi mode in the editor input box? In other words, just like one has the ability to switch from the default (emacs) mode on the (*nix) command line to vi mode. See https://readline.kablamo.org/vi.html for background. I'm not sure how many folks use vi mode on the command line, but I do, and it makes things so much faster and more efficient for me, and would be amazing to have that same experience when constructing and editing filters in jqp.

Thanks!

Hello,
The project makes life so much easier, thanks.
I just want to know if for Ubuntu/Debian Distros should we only make the jqp or it is also possible to install it via package managers?
Best

Steps to reproduce:
Type just a simple query .
Press Ctrl+a to jump to the beginning
Try to type map
