# Create, Collect into Object
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is used to construct objects (or maps). This can be used against existing yaml, or to create fresh yaml documents.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Collect empty object
|
||
|
Running
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
yq eval --null-input '{}'
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
will output
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
{}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Wrap (prefix) existing object
|
||
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
name: Mike
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
then
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
yq eval '{"wrap": .}' sample.yml
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
will output
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
wrap:
|
||
|
name: Mike
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Using splat to create multiple objects
|
||
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
name: Mike
|
||
|
pets:
|
||
|
- cat
|
||
|
- dog
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
then
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
yq eval '{.name: .pets.[]}' sample.yml
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
will output
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
Mike: cat
|
||
|
Mike: dog
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Working with multiple documents
|
||
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
name: Mike
|
||
|
pets:
|
||
|
- cat
|
||
|
- dog
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
name: Rosey
|
||
|
pets:
|
||
|
- monkey
|
||
|
- sheep
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
then
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
yq eval '{.name: .pets.[]}' sample.yml
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
will output
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
Mike: cat
|
||
|
Mike: dog
|
||
|
Rosey: monkey
|
||
|
Rosey: sheep
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Creating yaml from scratch
|
||
|
Running
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
yq eval --null-input '{"wrap": "frog"}'
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
will output
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
wrap: frog
