Shell config file parser (json, yaml)

Project description

# niet

Get data from yaml file directly in your shell

## Install

```sh
$ pip install niet
```

## Usage

### With YAML file

Consider the yaml file with the following content:
```yaml
project:
meta:
name: my-project
foo: bar
list-items:
- item1
- item2
- item3
```

You can retrieve data from this file by using niet like this:
```sh
$ niet /path/to/your/file.yaml "project.meta.name"
my-project
$ niet /path/to/your/file.yaml "project.foo"
bar
$ niet /path/to/your/file.yaml "project.list-items"
'item1' 'item2' 'item3'
$ # assign return value to shell variable
$ NAME=$(niet /path/to/your/file.yaml "project.meta.name")
$ echo $NAME
my-project
```

### With JSON file

Consider the json file with the following content:
```json
{
"project": {
"meta": {
"name": "my-project"
}
},
"foo": "bar",
"list-items": [
"item1",
"item2",
"item3"
]
}
```

You can retrieve data from this file by using niet like this:
```sh
$ niet /path/to/your/file.json "project.meta.name"
my-project
$ niet /path/to/your/file.json "project.foo"
bar
$ niet /path/to/your/file.json "project.list-items"
'item1' 'item2' 'item3'
$ # assign return value to shell variable
$ NAME=$(niet /path/to/your/file.json "project.meta.name")
$ echo $NAME
my-project
```

### Deal with errors

When your JSON file content are not valid niet display an error and exit
with return code `1`

You can easily protect your script like this:
```sh
PROJECT_NAME=$(niet your-file.yaml project.meta.name)
if [ "$?" = "1" ]; then
echo "Error occur ${PROJECT_NAME}"
else
echo "Project name: ${PROJECT_NAME}"
fi
```

## Tips

You can pass your search with or without quotes like this:
```sh
$ niet your-file.yaml project.meta.name
$ niet your-file.yaml "project.meta.name"
```

## Tests

```sh
niet tests/samples/samples.yaml project.meta.name
```
