@kristopherpaulsen/slrp v2.4.2

slrp

Command line tool for editing text, json, yaml, and xml, as well as data munging through handy functional one-liners

Getting Started

npm install -g @kristopherpaulsen/slrp

echo -e "Hello\nWorld" | slrp -n .length

echo "Hello, World" | slrp 'x => x.split(" ")' [0].length

echo "Hello World" | slrp -w .length

echo "Hello World" | slrp -w this.length

curl pants.rip/echo | slrp -j .reqHeaders.host .length

slrp -f /path/to/file.json 'json => ({ ...json, newKey: "value" })'

Chaining Functions

slrp allows for chaining results of one function to another.

echo "Hello, World" | slrp 'x => x.split(" ")' 'x => x.map(word => word.length)'

Property Assessor Shorthand

You can also use the property assessor shorthand for easier manipulation. You can use this, [], . for easier access

echo "Hello, World" | slrp 'x => x.split(" ")' [0].length

or

echo "Get that length" | slrp .length

or

echo "Hello" | slrp 'split("\w")' this.length

Flags

slrp provides multiple flags for easier one-liners.

-j, -x, -y

convert stdin string (json, xml, yaml) into parsed object. (See property assessor shorthand for easy access and manipulation)

  curl pants.rip/echo | slrp -j .

  {
    "reqCookies": {},
    "url": "/",
    "params": {},
    "body": {},
    "query": {},
    "reqHeaders": {
      "host": "pants.rip",
      "x-real-ip": "136.60.239.136",
      "x-forwarded-proto": "https",
      "x-forwarded-for": "136.60.239.136",
      "x-forwarded-host": "136.60.239.136",
      "connection": "close",
      "user-agent": "curl/7.58.0",
      "accept": "*/*"
    },
    "resHeaders": {
      "x-powered-by": "Express"
    }
  }

-n

split stdin into array of strings by newline

  echo -e "Hello\nWorld" | slrp -n [0]

  # Hello

-w

split stdin into array of strings by whitespace

  echo -e "Hello World" | slrp -w [1]

  # World

-f

slurp file by type, auto parse, and use as stdin. Supports .yaml, .yml, .js, .json, .xml

  slrp -f 'path/to/file/here.json' 'ojbect => object.someKey'

-p

slurp file without auto parsing, treated as text

  slrp -p '/path/to/file/here' 'text => someFunction(text)'

-l

slrp file and work line-by-line

  slrp -i -p '/path/to/file/here.txt' 'line => doSomething(line)' 'line => anotherThing(line)'

-i -p

slurp file and edit in place (no auto parsing);

  slrp -i -p '/path/to/file/here.txt' 'text => someFunction(text)'

-i -f

slurp file and edit in place with auto parsing

  slrp -i -f '/path/to/file/here.json' 'json => ({ ...json, keyHere: "newValue" })'

-l -i -p

slurp file, edit in place (no auto parsing), line-by-line;

  slrp -l -i -p '/path/to/file/here.txt' 'line => doSomethingToLine(line)'

Bash autocompletion

slrp can take advantage of bash autcompletion

slrp --update-bash-completion

Source the script!

  Success!: Add the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile

  source $HOME/.config/slrp/slrp-bash-completion.sh

Custom Functions

You can include custom functions to be imported / required as part of slrp. Any functions installed globally by npm, and included in the config file will be available

• Add to $HOME/.config/slrp/index.js

module.exports = {
  globalFunctions: {
    ...require('lodash/fp'),
  }
}

Use Custom functions (like lodash/fp) for elegant functional composition, right from the command line!

echo "Hello, World" | slrp 'split(" ")' 'map(size)' sum
