# 1. jq - JSON Processing (+1)
## 1. jq - JSON Processing
**Basic Operations:**
```bash
# Pretty print JSON
echo '{"name":"John","age":30}' | jq '.'
# Extract field
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/nodejs/node | jq '.stargazers_count'
# Filter arrays
echo '[1,2,3,4,5]' | jq '.[] | select(. > 2)'
# Transform data
echo '{"first":"John","last":"Doe"}' | jq '{fullName: (.first + " " + .last)}'
```
**Common jq Patterns:**
```bash
# Extract multiple fields
jq '{name: .name, stars: .stargazers_count}'
# Array operations
jq '.items | length' # Count items
jq '.items | first' # First item
jq '.items | last' # Last item
jq '.items[0:5]' # Slice first 5
# Filtering
jq '.[] | select(.status == "active")'
jq '.[] | select(.count > 100)'
jq '.[] | select(.name | contains("test"))'
# Sorting
jq 'sort_by(.date)'
jq 'sort_by(.date) | reverse'
# Grouping
jq 'group_by(.category)'
jq 'group_by(.category) | map({key: .[0].category, count: length})'
# Mapping
jq '.[] | {id, name}'
jq 'map({id: .id, upper_name: (.name | ascii_upcase)})'
```
**Shell Functions for jq:**
```bash
# Pretty print JSON file
jqp() {
jq '.' "$1" | bat --language json
}
# Extract field from JSON file
jqf() {
local file="$1"
local field="$2"
jq -r ".$field" "$file"
}
# Count items in JSON array
jqcount() {
jq 'if type == "array" then length else 1 end' "$1"
}
# Filter JSON by field value
jqfilter() {
local file="$1"
local field="$2"
local value="$3"
jq --arg val "$value" ".[] | select(.$field == \$val)" "$file"
}
```
## 2. fzf - Fuzzy Finder
**Basic Usage:**
```bash
# Find and edit file
vim $(fzf)
# Find with preview
fzf --preview 'bat --color=always {}'
# Multi-select
fzf --multi
# Filter with query
echo -e "apple\nbanana\norange" | fzf --query "an"
```
**fzf Configuration:**
```bash
# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
# Default options
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='
--height 40%
--layout=reverse
--border
--preview-window=right:50%:wrap
--bind=ctrl-d:preview-page-down
--bind=ctrl-u:preview-page-up
'
# Use fd for faster file finding
export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd --type f --hidden --follow --exclude .git'
export FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND="$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND"
export FZF_ALT_C_COMMAND='fd --type d --hidden --follow --exclude .git'
# Preview settings
export FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS='--preview "bat --color=always --style=numbers --line-range=:500 {}"'
export FZF_ALT_C_OPTS='--preview "exa --tree --level=2 --color=always {}"'
```
**Powerful fzf Functions:**
```bash
# Fuzzy edit file
fe() {
local file
file=$(fzf --preview 'bat --color=always --style=numbers --line-range=:500 {}')
[[ -n "$file" ]] && ${EDITOR:-vim} "$file"
}
# Fuzzy cd into directory
fcd() {
local dir
dir=$(fd --type d --hidden --follow --exclude .git | fzf --preview 'exa --tree --level=2 --color=always {}')
[[ -n "$dir" ]] && cd "$dir"
}
# Fuzzy kill process
fkill() {
local pid
pid=$(ps aux | sed 1d | fzf --multi | awk '{print $2}')
[[ -n "$pid" ]] && echo "$pid" | xargs kill -9
}
# Fuzzy git checkout branch
fco() {
local branch
branch=$(git branch -a --color=always | grep -v '/HEAD' | fzf --ansi | sed 's/^[* ]*//' | sed 's#remotes/origin/##')
[[ -n "$branch" ]] && git checkout "$branch"
}
# Fuzzy git log
flog() {
git log --oneline --color=always | fzf --ansi --preview 'git show --color=always {1}' | awk '{print $1}'
}
# Fuzzy history search
fh() {
local cmd
cmd=$(history | fzf --tac | sed 's/^[ ]*[0-9]*[ ]*//')
[[ -n "$cmd" ]] && eval "$cmd"
}
# Fuzzy environment variable
fenv() {
local var
var=$(env | fzf | cut -d= -f1)
[[ -n "$var" ]] && echo "${!var}"
}
# Fuzzy docker container
fdocker() {
local container
container=$(docker ps --format '{{.Names}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Status}}' | fzf | awk '{print $1}')
[[ -n "$container" ]] && docker exec -it "$container" sh
}
