## Get kind
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
a: cat
|
|
b: 5
|
|
c: 3.2
|
|
e: true
|
|
f: []
|
|
g: {}
|
|
h: null
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq '.. | kind' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```yaml
|
|
map
|
|
scalar
|
|
scalar
|
|
scalar
|
|
scalar
|
|
seq
|
|
map
|
|
scalar
|
|
```

## Get kind, ignores custom tags
|
|
Unlike tag, kind is not affected by custom tags.
|
|
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
a: !!thing cat
|
|
b: !!foo {}
|
|
c: !!bar []
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq '.. | kind' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```yaml
|
|
map
|
|
scalar
|
|
map
|
|
seq
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Add comments only to scalars
|
|
An example of how you can use kind
|
|

|
|

|
|
g: {}
|
|
h: null

|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq '(.. | select(kind == "scalar")) line_comment = "this is a scalar"' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```yaml
|
|
a:
|
|
b: 5 # this is a scalar
|
|
c: 3.2 # this is a scalar
|
|
e: true # this is a scalar
