The style operator can be used to get or set the style of nodes (e.g. string style, yaml style) ## Set tagged style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. style="tagged"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml !!map a: !!str cat b: !!int 5 c: !!float 3.2 e: !!bool true ``` ## Set double quote style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. style="double"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: "cat" b: "5" c: "3.2" e: "true" ``` ## Set double quote style on map keys too Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '... style="double"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml "a": "cat" "b": "5" "c": "3.2" "e": "true" ``` ## Set single quote style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. style="single"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: 'cat' b: '5' c: '3.2' e: 'true' ``` ## Set literal quote style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. style="literal"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: |- cat b: |- 5 c: |- 3.2 e: |- true ``` ## Set folded quote style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. style="folded"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: >- cat b: >- 5 c: >- 3.2 e: >- true ``` ## Set flow quote style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. style="flow"' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml {a: cat, b: 5, c: 3.2, e: true} ``` ## Pretty print Set empty (default) quote style, note the usage of `...` to match keys too. Note that there is a `--prettyPrint/-P` short flag for this. Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: cat "b": 5 'c': 3.2 "e": true ``` then ```bash yq eval '... style=""' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: cat b: 5 c: 3.2 e: true ``` ## Read style Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml {a: "cat", b: 'thing'} ``` then ```bash yq eval '.. | style' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml flow double single ```
