Public API for jq

jq

jq(name, srcs, filter, filter_file, args, out, kwargs)

Invoke jq with a filter on a set of json input files.

For jq documentation, see https://stedolan.github.io/jq/.

To use this rule you must register the jq toolchain in your WORKSPACE:

load("@aspect_bazel_lib//lib:repositories.bzl", "register_jq_toolchains")

register_jq_toolchains()

Usage examples:

load("@aspect_bazel_lib//lib:jq.bzl", "jq")

# Remove fields from package.json
jq(
    name = "no_dev_deps",
    srcs = ["package.json"],
    filter = "del(.devDependencies)",
)

# Merge bar.json on top of foo.json
jq(
    name = "merged",
    srcs = ["foo.json", "bar.json"],
    filter = ".[0] * .[1]",
    args = ["--slurp"],
    out = "foobar.json",
)

# Long filters can be split over several lines with comments
jq(
    name = "complex",
    srcs = ["a.json", "b.json"],
    filter = """
        .[0] as $a
        # Take select fields from b.json
        | (.[1] | {foo, bar, tags}) as $b
        # Merge b onto a
        | ($a * $b)
        # Combine 'tags' array from both
        | .tags = ($a.tags + $b.tags)
        # Add new field
        + {\"aspect_is_cool\": true}
    """,
    args = ["--slurp"],
)

# Load filter from a file
jq(
    name = "merged",
    srcs = ["foo.json", "bar.json"],
    filter_file = "filter.txt",
    args = ["--slurp"],
    out = "foobar.json",
)

# Convert genquery output to json
genquery(
    name = "deps",
    expression = "deps(//some:target)",
    scope = ["//some:target"],
)

jq(
    name = "deps_json",
    srcs = [":deps"],
    args = [
        "--raw-input",
        "--slurp",
    ],
    filter = "{ deps: split("\n") | map(select(. | length > 0)) }",
)

# With --stamp, causes properties to be replaced by version control info.
jq(
    name = "stamped",
    srcs = ["package.json"],
    filter = "|".join([
        # Don't directly reference $STAMP as it's only set when stamping
        # This 'as' syntax results in $stamp being null in unstamped builds.
        "$ARGS.named.STAMP as $stamp",
        # Provide a default using the "alternative operator" in case $stamp is null.
        ".version = ($stamp.BUILD_EMBED_LABEL // "<unstamped>")",
    ]),
)

PARAMETERS

Name Description Default Value
name Name of the rule none
srcs List of input files none
filter Filter expression (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/#Basicfilters). Subject to stamp variable replacements, see Stamping. When stamping is enabled, a variable named "STAMP" will be available in the filter.

Be careful to write the filter so that it handles unstamped builds, as in the example above.		 None
filter_file File containing filter expression (alternative to filter) None
args Additional args to pass to jq []
out Name of the output json file; defaults to the rule name plus ".json" None
kwargs Other common named parameters such as tags or visibility none
