# Properties
|
|
|
|
Encode to a property file (decode not yet supported). Line comments on value nodes will be copied across.
|
|
|
|
By default, empty maps and arrays are not encoded - see below for an example on how to encode a value for these.
|
|
|
|
## Encode properties
|
|
Note that empty arrays and maps are not encoded by default.
|
|
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# block comments don't come through
|
|
person: # neither do comments on maps
|
|
name: Mike # comments on values appear
|
|
pets:
|
|
- cat # comments on array values appear
|
|
food: [pizza] # comments on arrays do not
|
|
emptyArray: []
|
|
emptyMap: []
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq -o=props -I=0 '.' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```properties
|
|
# comments on values appear
|
|
person.name = Mike
|
|
|
|
# comments on array values appear
|
|
person.pets.0 = cat
|
|
person.food.0 = pizza
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Encode properties: no comments
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# block comments don't come through
|
|
person: # neither do comments on maps
|
|
name: Mike # comments on values appear
|
|
pets:
|
|
- cat # comments on array values appear
|
|
food: [pizza] # comments on arrays do not
|
|
emptyArray: []
|
|
emptyMap: []
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq -o=props -I=0 '... comments = ""' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```properties
|
|
person.name = Mike
|
|
person.pets.0 = cat
|
|
person.food.0 = pizza
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Encode properties: include empty maps and arrays
|
|
Use a yq expression to set the empty maps and sequences to your desired value.
|
|
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# block comments don't come through
|
|
person: # neither do comments on maps
|
|
name: Mike # comments on values appear
|
|
pets:
|
|
- cat # comments on array values appear
|
|
food: [pizza] # comments on arrays do not
|
|
emptyArray: []
|
|
emptyMap: []
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq -o=props -I=0 '(.. | select( (tag == "!!map" or tag =="!!seq") and length == 0)) = ""' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```properties
|
|
# comments on values appear
|
|
person.name = Mike
|
|
|
|
# comments on array values appear
|
|
person.pets.0 = cat
|
|
person.food.0 = pizza
|
|
emptyArray =
|
|
emptyMap =
|
|
```
