### JSON output
The default output format is JSON, one object per line:
```bash
$ (echo Hello; echo World) | tj
```
```json
{"timeSecs":1517592179,"timeNanos":1517592179895262811,"time":"2018-02-02T18:22:59+01:00","deltaSecs":0.000016485,"deltaNanos":16485,"delta":"16.485µs","totalSecs":0.000016485,"totalNanos":16485,"total":"16.485µs","text":"Hello"}
{"timeSecs":1517592179,"timeNanos":1517592179895451948,"time":"2018-02-02T18:22:59+01:00","deltaSecs":0.000189137,"deltaNanos":189137,"delta":"189.137µs","totalSecs":0.000205622,"totalNanos":205622,"total":"205.622µs","text":"World"}
```
### Time format
You can set the format of the `time` field using the `-time-format` parameter:
```bash
$ (echo Hello; echo World) | tj -time-format Kitchen
```
```json
{"timeSecs":1517592194,"timeNanos":1517592194875016639,"time":"6:23PM","deltaSecs":0.000017142,"deltaNanos":17142,"delta":"17.142µs","totalSecs":0.000017142,"totalNanos":17142,"total":"17.142µs","text":"Hello"}
{"timeSecs":1517592194,"timeNanos":1517592194875197515,"time":"6:23PM","deltaSecs":0.000180876,"deltaNanos":180876,"delta":"180.876µs","totalSecs":0.000198018,"totalNanos":198018,"total":"198.018µs","text":"World"}
```
The [constant names from pkg/time](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants) as well as regular go time layouts are valid values for `-time-format`:
| Name | Format |
|------------|-------------------------------------|
| ANSIC | `Mon Jan _2 15:04:05 2006` |
| Kitchen | `3:04PM` |
| ISO8601 | `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00` |
| RFC1123 | `Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST` |
| RFC1123Z | `Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 -0700` |
| RFC3339 | `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00` |
| RFC3339Nano| `2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00`
| RFC822 | `02 Jan 06 15:04 MST` |
| RFC822Z | `02 Jan 06 15:04 -0700` |
| RFC850 | `Monday, 02-Jan-06 15:04:05 MST` |
| RubyDate | `Mon Jan 02 15:04:05 -0700 2006` |
| Stamp | `Jan _2 15:04:05` |
| StampMicro | `Jan _2 15:04:05.000000` |
| StampMilli | `Jan _2 15:04:05.000` |
| StampNano | `Jan _2 15:04:05.000000000` |
| UnixDate | `Mon Jan _2 15:04:05 MST 2006` |
### Template output
You can also specify an output template using the `-template` parameter and [go template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template) syntax:
```bash
$ (echo Hello; echo World) | tj -template '{{ .I }} {{.TimeSecs}} {{.Text}}'
```
```json
0 1516649679 Hello
1 1516649679 World
```
The fields available to the template are specified in the [`token` struct](cmd/tj/main.go#L18).
Some templates are pre-defined and can be used via `-template NAME`:
| Name | Template |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| Color | `{{color .}}█{{reset}} {{.Text}}` |
| ColorText | `{{color .}}{{.Text}}{{reset}}` |
| Delta | `{{.Delta}} {{.Text}}` |
| DeltaColor | `{{.Delta}} {{color .}}█{{reset}} {{.Text}}` |
| DeltaNanos | `{{.DeltaNanos}} {{.Text}}` |
| Text | `{{.Text}}` |
| Time | `{{.TimeString}} {{.Text}}` |
| TimeColor | `{{.TimeString}} {{color .}}█{{reset}} {{.Text}}`|
| TimeDelta | `{{.TimeString}} +{{.Delta}} {{.Text}}` |
| TimeDeltaNanos | `{{.TimeString}} +{{.DeltaNanos}} {{.Text}}` |
### Color output
To help identify durations at a glance, `tj` maps durations to a color scale. The pre-defined templates `Color` and `ColorText` demonstrate this:
```bash
$ (echo fast;
sleep 1;
echo slower;
sleep 1.5;
echo slow;
sleep 2;
echo slowest) | tj -template Color
```
The terminal foreground color can be set by using `{{color .}}` in the output template. The default terminal color can be restored using `{{reset}}`.
The color scale can be set using the parameters `-scale`, `-scale-fast`, and `-scale-slow`:
- The `-scale` parameter defines the colors used in the scale.
- The `-scale-fast` and `-scale-slow` parameters define the boundaries of the scale: durations shorter than the value of `-scale-fast` are mapped to the leftmost color, durations longer than the value of `-scale-slow` are mapped to the rightmost color.
The scale is linear by default, but can be transformed:
- `-scale-sqr`, `-scale-sqrt` yields a quadratic (root) scale
- `-scale-cube`, `-scale-cubert` yields a cubic (root) scale
There are several pre-defined color scales:
| Name | Scale |
|---------------------|----------------------- |
| BlackToPurple | `#000 -> #F700FF` |
| BlackToRed | `#000 -> #F00` |
| BlueToRed | `#00F -> #F00` |
| CyanToRed | `#0FF -> #F00` |
| GreenToRed | `#0F0 -> #F00` |
| GreenToGreenToRed | `#0F0 -> #0F0 -> #F00` |
| WhiteToPurple | `#FFF -> #F700FF` |
| WhiteToRed | `#FFF -> #F00` |
| WhiteToBlueToRed | `#FFF -> #00F -> #F00` |
You can also provide your own color scale using the same syntax as the pre-defined ones.
### JSON input
Using `-read-json`, you can tell `tj` to parse stdin as a sequence of JSON objects. The parsed object can be referred to via `.Object`, like this:
```bash
$ echo '{"hello": "World"}' | tj -read-json -template "{{.TimeString}} {{.Object.hello}}"
```
```
2018-01-25T21:55:06+01:00 World
```
The exact JSON string that was parsed can be recovered using `.Text`:
```bash
$ echo '{"hello" : "World"} { }' | tj -read-json -template "{{.TimeString}} {{.Text}}"
```
```
2018-01-25T21:55:06+01:00 {"hello" : "World"}
2018-01-25T21:55:06+01:00 { }
```
### Stopwatch regex
Sometimes you need to measure the duration between certain *tokens* in the input.
To help with this, `tj` can match each line against a regular expression and only reset the stopwatch (`delta`, `deltaSecs`, `deltaNanos`) when a line matches. The regular expression can be specified via the `-match-regex` (alias `-regex`) parameter.
### Stopwatch regex template
When using `-match-regex`, you can also specify a template `-match-template` (alias `-match`) to extract text from the current token. The output of this template is matched against the stopwatch regex.
This allows you to use only specific fields of JSON objects as stopwatch reset triggers. For example:
```bash
$ (echo {}; sleep 1; echo {}; sleep 1; echo '{"reset": "yes"}'; echo {}) |
tj -read-json -match .reset -regex yes -template "{{.I}} {{.DeltaNanos}}"
```
```
0 14374
1 1005916918
2 2017292187
3 79099
```
The output of the match template is stored in the field `.MatchText` of the `token` struct:
```bash
$ echo '{"message":"hello"}' | tj -read-json -match-template .message -template "{{.TimeString}} {{.MatchText}}"
```
```
2018-01-25T22:20:59+01:00 hello
```
### Stopwatch condition
Additionally to `-match-regex`, you can specify a `-match-condition` go template. If this template produces the literal string `true`, the stopwatch is reset - "matches" of the `-match-condition` are treated like matches of the `-match-regex`.
## Example
Finding the slowest step in a `docker build` (using `jq`):
```bash
$ cat Dockerfile
FROM alpine
RUN echo About to be slow...
RUN sleep 10
RUN echo Done being slow
```
```bash
$ docker build . |
tj -regex ^Step |
jq -s 'max_by(.deltaNanos) | {step:.start.text, duration:.delta}'
```
```json
{"step":"Step 3/4 : RUN sleep 10","duration":"10.602026127s"}
```
Alternatively, using color output and buffering:
```bash
$ docker build . |
tj -regex ^Step -match-buffer -template Color -scale-cube
```
