使用 JQ 有条件地在 JSON 转换中添加一个字段

Question

I am trying to transform my JSON to different structure using JQ. I am able to achieve my new structure, however i am getting feilds with Null objects if they are not present in Source, my client wants to remove the fields if they are having null values..

As i iterate i am able to get the structure in new format. But additional structures are coming.

JQ Query:

       .amazon | { userType: .userType,     userName: .user,     itemCatalog: (.items | map({ itemId: .id, name, state} ))   }

Expected Response:

        {
              "userType": "new",
              "userName": "net",
              "itemCatalog": [
                {
                  "itemId": 1,
                  "name": "harry potter",
                  "state": "sold"
                },
                {
                  "itemId": 2,
                  "name": "adidas shoes"
                },
                {
                  "itemId": 3,
                  "name": "watch"
                },
                {
                  "itemId": 4,
                  "name": "adidas shoes",
                  "state": "in inventory"
                }
              ]
            }

With the query i have, i am getting state : null for the entries which has empty or null values. I want to hide the field itself in these cases.

Answer 1

Try this JQ Query:

jq '.amazon| { userType: .userType, userName: .user, itemCatalog: [.items[] | {id: .id, name: .name, state: .state}]}'  

Warning this doesn't account for values of null. So this is half the solution.

Answer 2

Horrible solution, delete them after the query. There must be a neater way? (I started using jq today)

.amazon | { userType: .userType, userName: .user, itemCatalog: (.items | map({ itemId: .id, name, state} )) }| del(.itemCatalog[].state |select(. == null))
