## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
Or via Homebrew
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or download standalone binary from [releases](https://github.com/antonmedv/fx/releases) page.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Pipe into `fx` any JSON and anonymous function for reducing it.
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{...}' | fx [code ...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start interactive mode without passing any arguments:
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl ... | fx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Anonymous function
|
|
|
|
Use an anonymous function as reducer which gets JSON and processes it:
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{"foo": [{"bar": "value"}]}' | fx 'x => x.foo[0].bar'
|
|
value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Binding
|
|
|
|
If you don't pass anonymous function `param => ...`, code will be automatically transformed into anonymous function.
|
|
And you can get access to JSON by `this` keyword:
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{"foo": [{"bar": "value"}]}' | fx 'this.foo[0].bar'
|
|
value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dot
|
|
|
|
It is possible to omit `this` keyword:
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{"foo": [{"bar": "value"}]}' | fx .foo[0].bar
|
|
value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If single dot is passed, JSON will be processed without modification:
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{"foo": "bar"}' | fx .
|
|
{
|
|
"foo": "bar"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Chain
|
|
|
|
You can pass any number of anonymous functions for reducing JSON:
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{"foo": [{"bar": "value"}]}' | fx 'x => x.foo' 'this[0]' 'this.bar'
|
|
value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generator
|
|
|
|
If passed code contains `yield` keyword, [generator expression](https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-generator-expression)
|
|
will be used:
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl ... | fx 'for (let user of this) if (user.login.startsWith("a")) yield user'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Access to JSON through `this` keyword:
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '["a", "b"]' | fx 'yield* this'
|
|
[
|
|
"a",
|
|
"b"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '["a", "b"]' | fx 'yield* this; yield "c";'
|
|
[
|
|
"a",
|
|
"b",
|
|
"c"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update
|
|
|
|
You can update existing JSON using spread operator:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo '{"count": 0}' | fx '{...this, count: 1}'
|
|
{
|
|
"count": 1
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using packages
|
|
|
|
Use any npm package by installing it globally:
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install -g lodash
|
|
$ cat package.json | fx 'require("lodash").keys(this.dependencies)'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using .fxrc
|
|
|
|
Create _.fxrc_ file in `$HOME` directory, and require any packages or define global functions.
|
|
|
|
For example, access all lodash methods without `_` prefix. Put in your `.fxrc` file:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
Object.assign(global, require('lodash'))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And now you will be able to call all lodash methods. For example, see who's been committing to react recently:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl 'https://api.github.com/repos/facebook/react/commits?per_page=100' \
|
|
| fx 'mapValues(groupBy(this, "commit.committer.name"), size)'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> To be able require global modules make sure you have correct `NODE_PATH` env variable.
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
### Formatting
|
|
|
|
If you need something different then JSON (for example arguments for xargs) do not return anything from reducer.
|
|
`undefined` value is printed into stderr by default.
|
|
```
|
|
echo '[]' | fx 'void 0'
|
|
undefined
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo '[1,2,3]' | fx 'this.forEach(x => console.log(x))' 2>/dev/null | xargs echo
|
|
1 2 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Other examples
|
|
|
|
Convert object to array:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cat package.json | fx 'Object.keys(this.dependencies)'
|
|
[
|
|
"@medv/prettyjson"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By the way, fx has shortcut for `Object.keys(this)`. Previous example can be rewritten as:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cat package.json | fx this.dependencies ?
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Interactive mode
|
|
|
|
Start interactive mode without passing any arguments:
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl ... | fx
|
|
```
|
|
Click on fields to expand or collapse JSON tree, use mouse wheel to scroll view.
|
|
|
|
Next commands available in interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
| Key | Command |
|
|
|----------------------------|-------------------------|
|
|
| `q` or `Esc` or `Ctrl`+`c` | Exit |
|
|
| `e`/`E` | Expand/Collapse all |
|
|
| `up`/`down` or `k`/`j` | Scroll up/down one line |
|
|
| `g`/`G` | Goto top/bottom |
|
|
|
|
#### Selecting text
|
|
|
|
You may found what you can't just select text in fx. This is due the fact that all mouse events redirected to stdin. To be able select again you need instruct your terminal not to do it. This can be done by holding special keys while selecting:
|
|
|
|
| Key | Terminal |
|
|
|------------------|---------------|
|
|
| `Option`+`Mouse` | iTerm2, Hyper |
|
|
| `Fn`+`Mouse` | Terminal.app |
|
|
| `Shift`+`Mouse` | Linux |
