Check out the [documentation](http://mikefarah.github.io/yaml/) for more detailed and advanced usage.
|
||||
|
||||
### Read
|
||||
```
|
||||
yaml r <yaml file> <path>
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
yaml [command]
|
||||
|
||||
Available Commands:
|
||||
read yaml r sample.yaml a.b.c
|
||||
write yaml w [--inplace/-i] [--script/-s script_file] sample.yaml a.b.c newValueForC
|
||||
new yaml n [--script/-s script_file] a.b.c newValueForC
|
||||
|
||||
Flags:
|
||||
-J, --fromjson[=false]: input as json
|
||||
-h, --help[=false]: help for yaml
|
||||
-j, --tojson[=false]: output as json
|
||||
-t, --trim[=true]: trim yaml output
|
||||
-v, --verbose[=false]: verbose mode
|
||||
|
||||
Use "yaml [command] --help" for more information about a command.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Given a sample.yaml file of:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
b:
|
||||
c: 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
then
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yaml r sample.yaml b.c
|
||||
```
|
||||
will output the value of '2'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Update
|
||||
Existing yaml files can be updated via the write command
|
||||
|
||||
Given a sample.yaml file of:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
b:
|
||||
c: 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
then
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yaml w sample.yaml b.c cat
|
||||
```
|
||||
will output:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
b:
|
||||
c: cat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Create
|
||||
Yaml files can be created using the 'new' command. This works in the same way as the write command, but you don't pass in an existing Yaml file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a simple yaml file
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yaml n b.c cat
|
||||
```
|
||||
will output:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
b:
|
||||
c: cat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Converting to and from json
|
||||
|
||||
### Yaml2json
|
||||
To convert output to json, use the --tojson (or -j) flag. This can be used with any command.
|
||||
|
||||
### json2yaml
|
||||
To read in json, use the --fromjson (or -J) flag. This can be used with any command.
