### Converting an array of objects to CSV
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a yaml document like:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
foo: bar
|
||||
items:
|
||||
- name: Tom
|
||||
species: cat
|
||||
color: blue
|
||||
- name: Jim
|
||||
species: dog
|
||||
color: brown
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To convert to CSV, you need to transform this into a array of CSV rows. Assuming you also want a header, then you can do:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yq '[["name", "species", "color"]] + [.items[] | [.name, .species, .color]]' data.yaml -o=csv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
to yield:
|
||||
|
||||
```csv
|
||||
name,species,color
|
||||
Tom,cat,blue
|
||||
Jim,dog,brown
|
||||
```
|
||||
