Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

NOTICE

This is a fork of @boschni/json-merger, as he hasn't had any GitHub activity since April 2023. I am taking over package maintenance for now, but if he decides he wants to start again, I'll be happy to merge any changes back into his repo.

json-merger

Merge JSON (or YAML) files and objects with operations like $import $remove $replace $merge and more.

Table of Contents:

API

.mergeFile(file: string, config?: Config)

javascript

var jsonMerger = require("json-merger");
var result = jsonMerger.mergeFile("a.json");

a.json:

{
  "$merge": {
    "source": {
      "$import": "b.json"
    },
    "with": {
      "prop1": {
        "$replace": {
          "prop1a": "this will replace b.json's property prop1"
        }
      },
      "prop2": {
        "prop2a": "this will merge with b.json's property prop2"
      }
    }
  }
}

b.json:

{
  "prop1": {
    "prop1b": "will be replaced"
  },
  "prop2": {
    "prop2b": "will be merged"
  }
}

result

{
  "prop1": {
    "prop1a": "this will replace b.json's property prop1"
  },
  "prop2": {
    "prop2a": "this will merge with b.json's property prop2",
    "prop2b": "will be merged"
  }
}

.mergeFiles(files: string[], config?: Config)

javascript

var jsonMerger = require("json-merger");
var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json:

{
  "a": "some value"
}

b.json:

{
  "b": "some other value"
}

result

{
  "a": "some value",
  "b": "some other value"
}

.mergeObject(object: object, config?: Config)

javascript

var jsonMerger = require("json-merger");

var object = {
  a: {
    aa: "some value",
  },
  b: {
    $import: "b.json",
  },
};

var result = jsonMerger.mergeObject(object);

b.json:

{
  "bb": "some other value"
}

result

{
  "a": {
    "aa": "some value"
  },
  "b": {
    "bb": "some other value"
  }
}

.mergeObjects(objects: object[], config?: Config)

javascript

var jsonMerger = require("json-merger");

var object1 = {
  a: [1, 1, 1, 1],
};

var object2 = {
  a: [2, 2],
};

var result = jsonMerger.mergeObjects([object1, object2]);

result

{
  "a": [2, 2, 1, 1]
}

Merger(config?: Config)

The actual Merger class is also exported. The other exports are just shortcut methods.

Using one Merger instance has some performance advantages because it will cache previously loaded and processed files.

javascript

var Merger = require("json-merger").Merger;

var merger = new Merger();

// the first call will load and process "a.json"
var result1 = merger.mergeFile("a.json");

// the second call will return the cached result
var result2 = merger.mergeFile("a.json");

// clear the caches
merger.clearCaches();

Config

interface Config {
  cwd?: string;
  errorOnFileNotFound?: boolean;
  errorOnRefNotFound?: boolean;
  operationPrefix?: string;
  params?: object;
  stringify?: boolean | "pretty";
  defaultArrayMergeOperation: "combine" | "replace" | "concat";
}

cwd: string

The current working directory when importing files. Defaults to process.cwd().

errorOnFileNotFound: boolean

Set this property to false to disable throwing errors when an imported file does not exist.

errorOnRefNotFound: boolean

Set this property to false to disable throwing errors when an JSON pointer or JSON path does not exist.

operationPrefix: string

Use this property to override the prefix to indicate a property is an operation like $import. The default prefix is $but it is possible to change this to for example@to use keywords like@import.

params: object

Object that will be available in $expression operations as $params variable.

stringify: boolean | "pretty"

Set this property to true to stringify the JSON result. Set the property to "pretty" if the output should be pretty printed.

defaultArrayMergeOperation: "combine" | "replace" | "concat"

Set this property to override default merge operation. Default value is set to "combine". Possible values are:

Operations

$import

Use $import to import other JSON or YAML files.

Files imported with $import are processed before the result is returned.

{
  "$import": "a.json"
}

JSON reference syntax is supported. The following example will import the first array item from the someArray property in a.json.

{
  "$import": "a.json#/someArray/0"
}

When defined as an array, $import will process and merge the files in order before returning the result.

{
  "$import": ["a.json", "b.yaml", "c.json"]
}

When importing a file it is also possible to provide a different $params object. Setting this property will override the Config.params property.

{
  "$import": {
    "path": "a.json",
    "params": {
      "prop": "some value that will be available in a.json as $params.prop"
    }
  }
}

The object syntax is also supported in an array.

{
  "$import": [
    {
      "path": "a.json",
      "params": {
        "prop": "value1"
      }
    },
    {
      "path": "a.json",
      "params": {
        "prop": "value2"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Use $include to process a file in the current scope.

$merge

Use the $merge operation to merge objects and arrays.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFile("a.json");

a.json

{
  "$merge": {
    "source": {
      "a": {
        "aa": "some value"
      }
    },
    "with": {
      "a": {
        "bb": "some other value"
      }
    }
  }
}

result

{
  "a": {
    "aa": "some value",
    "bb": "some other value"
  }
}

Merging with other files

The $merge operation is often used with the $import operation to merge other files from within the JSON itself.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFile("a.json");

a.json

{
  "$merge": {
    "source": {
      "$import": "b.json"
    },
    "with": {
      "a": {
        "bb": "some other value"
      }
    }
  }
}

b.json

{
  "a": {
    "aa": "some value"
  }
}

result

{
  "a": {
    "aa": "some value",
    "bb": "some other value"
  }
}

$remove

Use the $remove operation to remove properties and array items.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "prop1": {
    "prop1a": "some value"
  },
  "prop2": {
    "prop2a": "some other value"
  }
}

b.json

{
  "prop2": {
    "$remove": true
  }
}

result

{
  "prop1": {
    "prop1a": "some value"
  }
}

Remove array items

}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$remove": true
    },
    {
      "$remove": true
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [3]
}

$replace

Use the $replace operation to replace properties and array items.

Replace object properties

  "prop1": {
    "prop1a": "some value"
  },
  "prop2": {
    "prop2a": "some other value"
  }
}

b.json

{
  "prop2": {
    "$replace": {
      "prop2b": "replaced value"
    }
  }
}

result

{
  "prop1": {
    "prop1a": "some value"
  },
  "prop2": {

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "a": 1
    },
    {
      "b": 2
    }
  ]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$replace": {
        "c": 3
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "c": 3
    },
    {
      "b": 2
    }
  ]
}

$concat

Use the $concat operation to concatenate two arrays.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": {
    "$concat": [2]
  }
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 2]
}

$combine

Use the $combine operation to combine two arrays.

javascript

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": {
    "$combine": [3, 3]
  }
}

result

{
  "someArray": [3, 3, 3]
}

    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3, 4]
}

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$prepend": 4
    }
  ]
}

  "someArray": [4, 1, 2, 3]
}

$insert

Use the $insert operation to insert an item to an array.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$insert": {
        "index": 1,
        "value": 4
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 4, 2, 3]
}

Insert as last item

Set $insert.index to - to insert an item at the end of the array.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$insert": {
        "index": "-",
        "value": 4
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3, 4]
}

Insert before the last item

A negative $insert.index can be used, indicating an offset from the end of the array.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$insert": {
        "index": -1,

      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 4, 3]
}

$match

Use the $match operation to search for a specific array item and merge with that item.

Match by index

Use $match.index to match an array item by index.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$match": {
        "index": 1,
        "value": 4
      }
    }
  ]
}

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$match": {
        "path": "/1",
        "value": 4
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 4, 3]
}

Match by JSON path query

Use $match.query to match an array item with a JSON path query. The following example will search for an array item containing the value 2 and merge it with the value 4.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$match": {
        "query": "$[?(@ == 2)]",
        "value": 4
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [1, 4, 3]
}

$move

Use the $move operation to move an array item.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$move": 1
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [2, 1, 3]
}

Move a matched array item

Use the $match operation in conjunction with the $move operation to move a specific array item.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$match": {
        "index": 0,
        "value": {
          "$move": 1
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [2, 1, 3]
}

Move a matched array item to the end

Use - as $move.index value to move an array item to the end.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [1, 2, 3]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$match": {
        "index": 0,
        "value": {
          "$move": "-"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [2, 3, 1]
}

Move and merge a matched array item

Use $move.value to not only move the item but also merge it with a value.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "a": 1
    },
    {
      "a": 2
    },
    {
      "a": 3
    }
  ]
}

b.json

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "$match": {
        "query": "$[?(@.a == 3)]",
        "value": {
          "$move": {
            "index": 0,
            "value": {
              "b": 3
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

result

{
  "someArray": [
    {
      "a": 3,
      "b": 3
    },
    {
      "a": 1
    },
    {
      "a": 2
    }
  ]
}

$select

Use the $select operation to select one or multiple values.

Be careful not to create an endless loop by selecting a parent property.

Select by JSON pointer

More information about JSON pointers can be found in the JSON pointer specification.

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFile("a.json");

a.json

{
  "prop": {
    "$select": "/otherProp"
  },
  "otherProp": "Should be the value of prop"
}

result

{
  "prop": "Should be the value of prop",
  "otherProp": "Should be the value of prop"
}

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFile("b.json");

a.json

{
  "add": 2
}

b.json

{
  "prop": {
    "$expression": {

Calculate a value using the scope $targetProperty

javascript

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFiles(["a.json", "b.json"]);

a.json

{
  "prop": 1
}

b.json

{
  "prop": {
    "$expression": "$targetProperty + 2"
  }
}

result

{
  "prop": 3
}

Calculate a value using the scope $params

var result = jsonMerger.mergeFile("a.json", {
  params: {
    add: 2,
  },
});

a.json

{
  "prop": {
    "$expression": "1 + $params.add"
  }
}

result

{
  "prop": 3
}

Scopes

Scopes can be created while processing operation properties. If for example a $merge.with is being processed then the merger will create a new scope for the $merge.with property. Or if a $repeat.value property is being processed a new scope is created for the $repeat.value property.

A scope always has a $source property but not necessarily a $target property.

When we are merging object A with object B, then the $target property in the scope of object A is undefined because object A is not merged with anything. It does have a $source property referring to object A itself. Object B on the other hand has the processed object A as $target because object B is being merged with object A. The $source property in the scope of object B refers to object B.

If object B had defined a $merge operation, then the merger would create a new scope for the $merge.source property and a new scope for the $merge.with property.

The $target within the $merge.source scope would be undefined because $merge.source is not merged with anything. The $target within the $merge.with scope is the processed $merge.source because $merge.with is being merged with $merge.source. The result of the $merge operation will eventually be merged with object A.

When in the $merge.source scope it is possible to get to the root (object B) scope using the $root property or to a parent scope using the $parent property.

interface Scope {
  $params?: any; // $params properties in current scope
  $parent?: Scope; // reference to parent scope
  $repeat?: ScopeRepeat; // $repeat properties in current scope
  $root: Scope; // reference to root scope
  $source: any; // reference to the source object
  $target?: any; // reference to the target object
}

Roadmap

  • Add configurable file resolvers to import files from different sources.
  • Add configurable (de)serializers to import and export different file formats.
