Background

There was a requirement to edit the json configuration file on the command line.

Because it is a configuration file, its structure should not be too complex! That is, its key value is some simple "json original value".

Why is there such a need?

As a developer, I often write / read some blogs, and there are some configuration files in these blogs. For some reason, some key values need to be modified the configuration file in some steps. In order to make it easier for readers to reproduce step by step. ( It is faster to clone the source code directly? repeat! Step by step! ).

It also allows the opener to quickly switch the configuration key value -- it can be run in batch without opening the editor.

Here is to extract one of its core functions so that it supports references in a variety of js environments

Features

• edit the json object in js, using the dot-style-like key as name
• support custom key delimiters

User installing

• You can import directly via npm cdn

<!-- unpkg.com/:package@:version/:file -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/nano-json-edit@1.0.0/dist/main.js"></script>

<!-- jsdelivr -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nano-json-edit@1.0.0/dist/main.js"></script>

<!-- unpkg.zhimg.com -->

• You can install it via the npm library tool

npm i nano-json-edit

yarn add nano-json-edit

pnpm add nano-json-edit

import {editjson} from 'nano-json-edit'

let key = 'names[0].CN'; let root = {};
// it will auomatically ini ctx if it's ctx undefined
let { context, lastns } = editjson(key, root, '.', -1)
console.log(root)// {"names":[{}]}
console.log(context)// {}
console.log(lastns)// CN

//set
context[lastns]='ymc.top'
console.log(root)// {"names":[{"CN":"ymc.top"}]}
console.log(context)// {"CN":"ymc.top"}

//del
delete context[lastns]
console.log(root)// {"names":[{}]}
console.log(context)// {}
console.log(lastns)// CN

key = 'names[zero].CN'; root = {};
// it will auomatically ini ctx if it's ctx undefined
({ context, lastns } = editjson(key, root, '.', -1));
console.log(root)// {"names":{"zero":{}}}
console.log(context)// {}
console.log(lastns)// CN

//set
context[lastns]='ymc.top'
console.log(root)// {"names":{"zero":{"CN":"ymc.top"}}}
console.log(context)// {"CN":"ymc.top"}

//del
delete context[lastns]
console.log(root)// {"names":{"zero":{}}}
console.log(context)// {}

Product Closed Loop

Small, single function, only do one thing - to edit the json object in js, using the dot-style-like key as name

Product operation and maintenance

Because the function is simple, it determines its development speed, update speed, problem speed will not be slow

Product plans

Because the function is simple, the function has been basically completed. In the later stage, small patches will be updated mainly according to the needs of binary packages or other library packages. There will be no major changes in functions. The architecture may change with the update of technology.

Concluding remarks

I am proud to be a programmer, and although I don't leave home, I have the power to change the world (maybe a little big) at my fingertips. Even if it can't be achieved, it's a good goal to strive for. -- from lencx
