Answer 1

For multi lines you need to use multi quotation marks ie ””” or ''' at the beginning and end of the string. For more information you can refer to the google cloud documentation .

You can try this below query:

SELECT type, key
FROM (
 SELECT * FROM
 js(
   (SELECT json, type FROM arboreal-vision-339901.take_home.virtual_kitchen_ubereats_hours
   ),
   -- Input columns.
   json, type,
   -- Output schema.
   """[{name: 'key', type:'string'},     -- error here
    {name: 'type', type:'string'}]""",
    -- The function.
    """function(r, emit) {
     x=JSON.parse(r.json)
     Object.keys(x).forEach(function(entry) {
       emit({key:entry, type:r.type,});
     });    
   }"""
 )
)
LIMIT 10
