keyContains

keyContains [regex] [key1 ... keyn]

Useful for working with nested data sets with unique key values. Returns the value of a key matching the provided regex. Additional keys from that level can be provided. For example: keyContains "body$" id would return any key matching the "body$" regex (ex. data.nested.body, data.nested.nested.body), as well as the key id at that level (ex. data.nested.id, data.nested.nested.id).

arguments:​

regex​

A regex pattern used for checking for existence of keys matching the pattern (type: string)

keyN​

One or keys at the level of the matching pattern to include. (type: string)

examples:​

Query​

seed '[{"key": "value", "nestedKeys": { "unique": "nestedvalue", "other": "othervalue"}}]'
|| keyContains nested other

Results prior to keyContains stage:​

keynestedKeys.uniquenestedKeys.other
valuenestedvalueothervalue

Results after keyContains stage:​

matchother
nestedvalueothervalue
othervalueothervalue

flags:​

--appendStage​

Used to append the results from a previous stage to the current stage. (provide a label, stage index, or boolean true to append the previous results)

--attributes​

A comma separated list of attributes to include in the command results. If not provided, all attributes will be included.
