## Merge arrays of objects together, matching on a key
|
||||
There are two parts of the complex expression. The first part is doing the hard work, it creates a map from the arrays keyed by '.a',
|
||||
so that there are no duplicates. The second half converts that map back to an array.
|
||||
There are several parts of the complex expression.
|
||||
The first part is doing the hard work, it creates a map from the arrays keyed by '.a', so that there are no duplicates.
|
||||
Then there's another reduce that converts that map back to an array.
|
||||
Finally, we set the result of the merged array back into the first doc.
|
||||
|
||||
To use this, you will need to update '.[]' to be the expression to your array (e.g. .my.array[]), and '.a' to be the key field of your array (e.g. '.name')
|
||||
To use this, you will need to update '.myArray' to be the expression to your array (e.g. .my.array), and '.a' to be the key field of your array (e.g. '.name')

Given a sample.yml file of:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- a: apple
|
||||
myArray:
|
||||
- a: apple
|
||||
b: appleB
|
||||
- a: kiwi
|
||||
- a: kiwi
|
||||
b: kiwiB
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
b: bananaB
|
||||
something: else
|
||||
```
|
||||
And another sample another.yml file of:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
myArray:
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
c: bananaC
|
||||
- a: apple
|
||||
- a: apple
|
||||
b: appleB2
|
||||
- a: dingo
|
||||
- a: dingo
|
||||
c: dingoC
|
||||
```
|
||||
then
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yq eval-all '
|
||||
((.[] | {.a: .}) as $item ireduce ({}; . * $item )) as $uniqueMap
|
||||
(
|
||||
((.myArray[] | {.a: .}) as $item ireduce ({}; . * $item )) as $uniqueMap
|
||||
| ( $uniqueMap | to_entries | .[]) as $item ireduce([]; . + $item.value)
|
||||
) as $mergedArray
|
||||
| select(fi == 0) | .myArray = $mergedArray
|
||||
' sample.yml another.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
will output
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- a: apple
|
||||
myArray:
|
||||
- a: apple
|
||||
b: appleB2
|
||||
- a: kiwi
|
||||
- a: kiwi
|
||||
b: kiwiB
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
b: bananaB
|
||||
c: bananaC
|
||||
- a: dingo
|
||||
- a: dingo
|
||||
c: dingoC
|
||||
something: else
|
||||
```
