Some small formatting feature requests
hi! thanks for this awesome piece of software, I've been looking for a formatter for my jq scripts for a good while now. it works really well, but I was wondering if you'd be open to adding an option that adds newlines before pipes, rather than after.
currently, with -op pipe,...*, you get something like this
-.data.children |= map_values(select(.data.author == "oilshell") | select(.data.domain == "oilshell.org")
-)
-
+.data.children |=
+ map_values(select(.data.author == "oilshell") |
+ select(.data.domain == "oilshell.org"))
but what would be cooler to me would be if it was more like...
-.data.children |= map_values(select(.data.author == "oilshell") | select(.data.domain == "oilshell.org")
-)
-
+.data.children
+ |= map_values(select(.data.author == "oilshell")
+ | select(.data.domain == "oilshell.org"))
even better, I'd really like if it I could get
-.data.children |= map_values(select(.data.author == "oilshell") | select(.data.domain == "oilshell.org")
-)
-
+.data.children
+ |= map_values(
+ select(.data.author == "oilshell")
+ | select(.data.domain == "oilshell.org")
+ )
(though this is probably a completely different formatting option request; -pr for parentheses, or something?)
thanks again for this! :)
(*I actually ran into these wants first with -op pipe,add,sub,mul,div,mod,ne,gt,lt,ge,le,and,or,alt,assign,modify,updateAdd,updateSub,updateMul,updateDiv,updateMod, because I've tended to write my jq scripts very formatted, manually, it seems, but figured it reasonable to pare it down)
