At the last day of 2024, I made a json formater based on jq

[Yingwe]

It's the last working day of this year, so I think no body will blame me to do some fun works🤪

Basally I build this workflow on the top of jq, I loves jq to decode my json string but it's very annoying to switch windows to terminal.

I'm tried to build it years ago, but can't find a window to show the results. Fortunately alfred latest release the TextView, it's the exactly display I want !

 

So, I support jq commands both in keywords and universal actions, and then reformat and display it in the text view where it's human readable and could copy to another place.

 

Usage:

1. in the keyword:

     jq {"resume":{"name":"yingwei"},"date":"20241231"}

 

2.  in the universal actions

 

3. keywords with path

  - format:   jq $path $jsonstr

Welcome @Yingwe,

 

Note that jq ships with macOS from Sequoia, so you no longer need to install it with Homebrew in recent versions.
