Delete nested element about jo HOT 5 CLOSED

I don't transform JSON ... I need to know how jo can handle deleting csfd element inside links

Deleting is transforming. jo is an additive tool; subtracting or otherwise changing JSON elements is not in its scope.

from jo.

jo cannot transform JSON; you'll want to look at other tools for that, e.q. jq.

from jo.

Or simply let bash do the heavy lifting:

# Figure out what the "links" value should look like...
if [[ -n $vod_csfd && -n $vod_csfd_id ]]; then
  meta_links=$(jo csfd="$(jo -n dbId="$vod_csfd_id" link="$vod_csfd")")
else
  meta_links={}
fi
# ...then substitute it in
jo -p -n  -- -s id="$vod_id" name="$vod_title" type="$vod_type" \
        seasonNumber="$vod_seasonNumber" episodeNumber="$vod_episodeNumber" \
        meta[links]="$meta_links"

from jo.

I don't transform JSON, I'm creating JSON via jo as you can see form my command:

jo -p -n  -- -s id=$vod_id name="$vod_title" type=$vod_type \
        seasonNumber=$vod_seasonNumber episodeNumber=$vod_episodeNumber \
        meta[links]=$(jo csfd=$(jo -n dbId=$vod_csfd_id link=$vod_csfd))

Aha.. so it's not possible to do it via jo. Okay..
I thought to do it in BASH, but still hope that jo can handle it. :-/
