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"}'
|
|
```
