a TUI playground for exploring jq.

This application utilizes itchyny's implementation of jq written in Go, gojq.

brew install noahgorstein/tap/jqp

sudo port install jqp

Available through the Arch User Repository as jqp-bin.

yay -S jqp-bin

Download the relevant asset for your operating system from the latest Github release. Unpack it, then move the binary to somewhere accessible in your PATH, e.g. mv ./jqp /usr/local/bin.

Clone this repo, build from source with cd jqp && go build, then move the binary to somewhere accessible in your PATH, e.g. mv ./jqp /usr/local/bin.

➜ jqp --help jqp is a TUI to explore the jq command line utility Usage: jqp [flags] Flags: --config string config file (default is $HOME/.jqp.yaml) -f, --file string path to the input JSON file -h, --help help for jqp -t, --theme string jqp theme -v, --version version for jqp 

jqp also supports input from STDIN. STDIN takes precedence over the command line flag.

➜ curl "https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/issues?per_page=2" | jqp 

jqp can be configured with a configuration file. By default, jqp will search your home directory for a YAML file named .jqp.yaml. A path to a YAML configuration file can also be provided to the --config command line flag.

➜ jqp --config ~/my_jqp_config.yaml < data.json

If a configuration option is present in both the configuration file and the command line, the command line option takes precedence. For example, if a theme is specified in the configuration file and via -t/--theme flag, the command line flag will take precedence.

theme: name: "nord" # controls the color scheme chromaStyleOverrides: # override parts of the chroma style kc: "#009900 underline" # keys use the chroma short names

Themes can be specified on the command line via the -t/--theme <themeName> flag. You can also set a theme in your configuration file.

theme: name: "monokai"

Overrides to the chroma styles used for a theme can be configured in your configuration file.

For the list of short keys, see chroma.StandardTypes. To see which token to use for a value, see the JSON lexer (look for <token> tags). To see the color and what's used in the style you're using, look for your style in the chroma styles directory.

theme: name: "monokai" # name is required to know which theme to override chromaStyleOverrides: kc: "#009900 underline"

You can change non-syntax colors using the styleOverrides key:

theme: styleOverrides: primary: "#c4b28a" secondary: "#8992a7" error: "#c4746e" inactive: "#a6a69c" success: "#87a987"

Themes are broken up into light and dark themes. Light themes work best in terminals with a light background and dark themes work best in a terminal with a dark background. If no theme is specified or a non-existant theme is provided, the default theme is used, which was created to work with both terminals with a light and dark background.
