A combination of
--jsonargs
and--slurpfile
. Slurps all json files passed as a command line argument, and makes them available under$ARGS.named[filename]
.Using this over an
input
builtin allows easy access to filesystem functionality such asfind
and globbing, without having to implement them as jq builtins. Files can also be written-in-place when using snapshots ( #3165 ), since all inputs are read before any writes happen.Depends on #3165 for tests, marking as draft until that one is merged.
