jq: print "-" for objects which don't have a specific key - jq

I have following json:
[
{
"user": "u1",
"id": "0001"
},
{
"user": "u2",
"id": "0002",
"groups": [
{
"id": "100001",
"name": "G1"
},
{
"id": "100002",
"name": "G2"
}
]
},
{
"user": "u3",
"id": "0003",
"groups": [
{
"id": "100001",
"name": "G1"
}
]
}
]
Expected output is:
u1 0001 -
u2 0002 G1,G2
u3 0003 G1
I have following jq command:
jq -r 'map(select(.groups[].id)?)| map([.user, .id, ([.groups[].name]|join(","))] | join("\t")) | join("\n")' json
which produces:
u2 0002 G1,G2
u2 0002 G1,G2
u3 0003 G1
How to have on output also objects having no of the groups keys and avoid duplicates as showed above?

The following jq should give you the desired result -
jq -r 'def groups(d): if d | length > 0 then d | map(.name) | join(",") else "-" end; map("\(.user) \(.id) \(groups(.groups))") | .[]'
u1 0001 -
u2 0002 G1,G2
u3 0003 G1

jq: list users belonging to a specific group in array

input json:
[
{
"user": "u1"
},
{
"user": "u2",
"groups": [
{
"id": "100001",
"name": "G1"
},
{
"id": "100002",
"name": "G2"
}
]
},
{
"user": "u3",
"groups": [
{
"id": "100001",
"name": "G1"
}
]
}
]
I want to find all users belonging to specific group (searching by group name or group id in the groups array)
$ jq -r '.[]|select(.groups[].name=="G1" | .user)' json
jq: error (at json:27): Cannot iterate over null (null)
Desired output format when searching of example group G1 would be:
u2
u3
Additional question:
Is it possible to produce comma-separated output u2,u3 without using external utilities like tr?
Better enter your serach data from parameters using --arg and use any to avoid duplicate outputs if both inputs match:
jq -r --arg id "" --arg name "G1" '
.[] | select(.groups | map(.id == $id or .name == $name) | any)? | .user
'
u2
u3
Demo
Using ? as the Optional Object Identifier-Index operator, you could do a select as below
map(select(.groups[].name == "G1")? | .user)
and un-wrap the results from the array by using [] at the end of the filter. To combine multiple selection conditions use the boolean operators with and/or inside the select statement

MariaDB JSON_ARRAYAGG gives wrong result

I have 2 problems in MariaDB 15.1 when using JSON_ARRAYAGG
The brackets [] are omitted
Incorrect wrong result, values are duplicates or omitted
My database is the following:
user:
+----+------+
| id | name |
+----+------+
| 1 | Jhon |
| 2 | Bob |
+----+------+
car:
+----+---------+-------------+
| id | user_id | model |
+----+---------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | Tesla |
| 2 | 1 | Ferrari |
| 3 | 2 | Lamborghini |
+----+---------+-------------+
phone:
+----+---------+----------+--------+
| id | user_id | company | number |
+----+---------+----------+--------+
| 1 | 1 | Verzion | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | AT&T | 2 |
| 3 | 1 | T-Mobile | 3 |
| 4 | 2 | Sprint | 4 |
| 5 | 1 | Sprint | 2 |
+----+---------+----------+--------+
1. The brackets [] are omitted
For example this query that gets users with their list of cars:
SELECT
user.id AS id,
user.name AS name,
JSON_ARRAYAGG(
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', car.id,
'model', car.model
)
) AS cars
FROM user
INNER JOIN car ON user.id = car.user_id
GROUP BY user.id;
Result: brackets [] were omitted in cars (JSON_ARRAYAGG has the behavior similar to GROUP_CONCAT)
+----+------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| id | name | cars |
+----+------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Jhon | {"id": 1, "model": "Tesla"},{"id": 2, "model": "Ferrari"} |
| 2 | Bob | {"id": 3, "model": "Lamborghini"} |
+----+------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
However when adding the filter WHERE user.id = 1, the brackets [] are not omitted:
+----+------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| id | name | cars |
+----+------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Jhon | [{"id": 1, "model": "Tesla"},{"id": 2, "model": "Ferrari"}] |
+----+------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
2. Incorrect wrong result, values are duplicates or omitted
This error is strange as the following conditions must be met:
Consult more than 2 tables
The DISTINCT option must be used
A user has at least 2 cars and at least 3 phones.
Duplicate values
for example, this query that gets users with their car list and their phone list:
SELECT
user.id AS id,
user.name AS name,
JSON_ARRAYAGG( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', car.id,
'model', car.model
)
) AS cars,
JSON_ARRAYAGG( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', phone.id,
'company', phone.company,
'number', phone.number
)
) AS phones
FROM user
INNER JOIN car ON user.id = car.user_id
INNER JOIN phone ON user.id = phone.user_id
GROUP BY user.id;
I will leave the output in json format and I will only leave the elements that interest.
Result: brackets [] were omitted and duplicate Verizon
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Jhon",
"phones": // [ Opening bracket expected
{
"id": 5,
"company": "Sprint",
"number": 2
},
{
"id": 1,
"company": "Verzion",
"number": 1
},
{
"id": 1,
"company": "Verzion",
"number": 1
}, // Duplicate object with the DISTINCT option
{
"id": 2,
"company": "AT&T",
"number": 2
},
{
"id": 3,
"company": "T-Mobile",
"number": 3
}
// ] Closing bracket expected
}
Omitted values
This error occurs when omit phone.id is omitted in the query
SELECT
user.id AS id,
user.name AS name,
JSON_ARRAYAGG( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', car.id,
'model', car.model
)
) AS cars,
JSON_ARRAYAGG( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
--'id', phone.id,
'company', phone.company,
'number', phone.number
)
) AS phones
FROM user
INNER JOIN car ON user.id = car.user_id
INNER JOIN phone ON user.id = phone.user_id
GROUP BY user.id;
Result: brackets [] were omitted and Sprint was omitted.
Apparently this happens because it makes an OR type between the columns of the JSON_OBJECT, since the company exists in a different row and number in a other different row
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Jhon",
"phones": // [ Opening bracket expected
//{
// "company": "Sprint",
// "number": 2
//}, `Sprint` was omitted
{
"company": "Verzion",
"number": 1
},
{
"company": "AT&T",
"number": 2
},
{
"company": "T-Mobile",
"number": 3
}
// ] Closing bracket expected
}
GROUP_CONCAT instance of JSON_ARRAYAGG solves the problem of duplicate or omitted objects
However, by adding the filter WHERE user.id = 1, the brackets [] are not omitted and also the problem of duplicate or omitted objects is also solved:
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Jhon",
"phones": [
{
"id": 1,
"company": "Verzion",
"number": 1
},
{
"id": 2,
"company": "AT&T",
"number": 2
},
{
"id": 3,
"company": "T-Mobile",
"number": 3
},
{
"id": 5,
"company": "Sprint",
"number": 2
}
]
}
What am I doing wrong?
So far my solution is this, but I would like to use JSON_ARRAYAGG since the query is cleaner
-- 1
SELECT
user.id AS id,
user.name AS name,
CONCAT(
'[',
GROUP_CONCAT( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', car.id,
'model', car.model
)
),
']'
) AS cars
FROM user
INNER JOIN car ON user.id = car.user_id
GROUP BY user.id;
-- 2
SELECT
user.id AS id,
user.name AS name,
CONCAT(
'[',
GROUP_CONCAT( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', car.id,
'model', car.model
)
),
']'
) AS cars,
CONCAT(
'[',
GROUP_CONCAT( DISTINCT
JSON_OBJECT(
'id', phone.id,
'company', phone.company,
'number', phone.number
)
),
']'
) AS phones
FROM user
INNER JOIN car ON user.id = car.user_id
INNER JOIN phone ON user.id = phone.user_id
GROUP BY user.id;

Remove slash character in JSON response using jq

}]
}
I want to remove the slash so the response can be used as a table in JQ:
jq -r '(["Names","Image"] | (., map(length*"-"))), (.[] | [.Names, .Image]) | #tsv'
Currently, when I run the above, I get:
jq: error (at <stdin>:1): array (["/boring_feynman"]) is not valid in a csv row
The problem is not because of / in the .Names field, but in your expression. For filters like #csv or #tsv to work, the values need to be in a scalar format and in an array. But your expression .Name in of type array.
So basically you are passing this result to the #tsv function
[
[
"/boring_feynman"
],
"ubuntu:latest"
]
instead of
[
"/boring_feynman",
"ubuntu:latest"
]
So modifying your filter, you can do below for the JSON in question.
jq -r '(["Names","Image"] | (., map(length*"-"))), ([.Names[], .Image]) | #tsv'
or if you still want to remove the /, use gsub() function
jq -r '(["Names","Image"] | (., map(length*"-"))), ([ (.Names[] | gsub("^/";"")), .Image]) | #tsv'

Use jq to combine two arrays of objects on a certain key

I am trying to use jq to solve this problem.
Suppose I have the following object
{
"listA": [
{
"id": "12345",
"code": "001"
}
]
"listB": [
{
"id": "12345",
"prop": "AABBCC"
}
]
}
In reality my two lists are longer, but the id isn't repeated within each list.
How may I combine the two lists into a single list where each item is an object with the non-id properties for the given id are collected into a single object?
For example, from the object above, I'd like the following:
{
"listC" : [
{
"id": "12345",
"code": "001",
"prop": "AABBCC"
}
]
}
A simple way would be to concatenate the arrays, group the elements by id and map each group into a single object using add;
jq '.listA+.listB | group_by(.id) | map(add)' test.json
If there may be more than two arrays you need to merge in the file, you could instead use flatten to concatenate all of them.
Test case below
# cat test.json
{
"listA": [
{ "id": "12345", "code": "001" },
{ "id": "12346", "code": "002" }
],
"listB": [
{ "id": "12345", "prop": "AABBCC" }
]
}
# jq 'flatten | group_by(.id) | map(add)' test.json
# or
# jq '.listA+.listB | group_by(.id) | map(add)' test.json
[
{
"id": "12345",
"code": "001",
"prop": "AABBCC"
},
{
"id": "12346",
"code": "002"
}
]
Using group_by entails a sort, which is unnecessary, so if efficiency is a concern, then an alternative approach such as the following should be considered:
INDEX(.listA[]; .id) as $one
| INDEX(.listB[]; .id) as $two
| reduce ($one|keys_unsorted[]) as $k ($two; .[$k] += $one[$k])
| {listC: [.[]] }

Jq getting output from nested hash

Hi I am trying to parse below hash with jq
{
"name": "a",
"data": [
{
"sensitive": false,
"type": "string",
"value": "mykeypair"
},
{
"sensitive": false,
"type": "int",
"value": 123
}
]
}
and get output like
a,string,mykeypair
a,int,123
I am able to get output like this
a,string,mykeypair
a,int,mykeypair
a,string,123
a,int,123
jq solution:
jq -r '.name as $n | .data[] | [$n, .type, .value] | #csv' file.json
The output:
"a","string","mykeypair"
"a","int",123
If it's mandatory to output unquoted values:
jq -r '.name as $n | .data[] | [$n, .type, "\(.value)"] | join(",")' file.json
The output:
a,string,mykeypair
a,int,123
