README

        
* What is it?

  =jq-mode= is an emacs major mode for editing [[https://github.com/stedolan/jq][jq]]-scripts.

* Getting started

  [[https://melpa.org/#/jq-mode][file:https://melpa.org/packages/jq-mode-badge.svg]] [[https://stable.melpa.org/#/jq-mode][file:https://stable.melpa.org/packages/jq-mode-badge.svg]]

  - Download jq-mode.el and put it in a directory somewhere.

  - Add the following to your .emacs file

  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

  (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/jq-mode-dir")

  (autoload 'jq-mode "jq-mode.el"

      "Major mode for editing jq files" t)

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.jq$" . jq-mode))

  #+END_SRC

  Now jq-mode will load whenever you visit a file whose name ends

  with .jq. Alternatively, run =M-x jq-mode= in an existing

  buffer containing jq commands.

* Interactive mode

  =jq-mode= can also be used interactively in a JSON buffer. If you

  add the following to your .emacs file

  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

    (with-eval-after-load "json-mode"

      (define-key json-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-j") #'jq-interactively))

  #+END_SRC

  or you can call =M-x jq-interactivly=. =jq-interactively= runs the

  expression that is written in the minibuffer iteratively over the

  JSON buffer. Press =C-g= to abort, =C-j= for newline, =RET= commits

  any changes.

** Use yq for yaml

   It is possible to use [[https://github.com/kislyuk/yq][yq]] to process yaml with the interactive mode instead:

   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

     (setq jq-interactive-command "yq"

           jq-interactive-font-lock-mode #'yaml-mode

           jq-interactive-default-options "--yaml-roundtrip")

   #+END_SRC

* Org babel

  =jq-mode= provides =ob-jq= for working with literate programming in

  Org mode.

  Add =jq= under =org-babel-load-languages= in your .emacs file

  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

  (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages

                               '((jq . t)))

  #+END_SRC

** jq specific header arguments

=ob-jq= provides some additional header arguments:

- =:compact= :: Add =-c= to =jq= arguments list suppressing pretty printing

* Bugs and Enhancements

  If you have a problem or would like to see it get better in a

  specific way, feel free to drop an issue in [[https://github.com/ljos/jq-mode/issues][the issue tracker]].

  Enjoy!
