Is there a tool to flatten yaml structure like this:
foo: bar: baz: true into this:
foo.bar.baz = true not sure what is this syntax name
context: I need this for hcl, setting a lot of values like this:
set { name = "foo.bar.baz" value = false } this is for helm-provider in terraform, cannot use directly use json or yaml, have to set properties that you want to change one by one (i need to disable lots of stuff to check why it's not working).
Using Andrey Kislyuk's yq to get all paths for the boolean values in the input document, for each path, join the path elements with dots, and then output each dotted path with the values found at that path.
yq -r ' paths(type == "boolean") as $p | [ ($p | join(".")), getpath($p) ] | join(" = ")' file Example input document:
foo: bar: baz: true baar: baz: false Resulting output:
foo.bar.baz = true foo.baar.baz = false To only get the paths ending with a key named enabled that has a true boolean value (as shown in an example elsewhere):
yq -r ' ( paths(type == "boolean" and .) | select(last == "enabled") ) as $p | [ ($p | join(".")), getpath($p) ] | join(" = ")' file Can't find anything, so I'll made it myself '__')
set { name = "foo.bar.baz", value = false }on hcl file XDvalues = []instead ofset {}. See the doc here registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/helm/latest/docs/…valuesmeans you do not need to convert the yaml to a different format.
