To import a module now use: # Import module.jq file: import "relative/path/to/module" as foo; # Use the module's defs as foo::<def-name> To import a JSON file: # Read file.json: import "relative/path/to/file" as $foo; # # Use as $foo::foo Using `-L` now drops the builtin library path and appends the requested path to the empty array (or the result of an earlier `-L`). Support for the `$JQ_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable has been removed.
Documentation
The jq website, manpages and some of the tests are generated from this
directory. The directory holds a Bonsai
website, and the manual is a YAML file in content/3.manual
.
To build the documentation (including building the jq manpage), you'll need a working Ruby setup. The easiest way to get one is to install RVM and Ruby 1.9.3 like so:
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=1.9.3
After that finishes installing, you'll need to make sure RVM is on
your path by doing source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
, or just opening a
new shell. See http://rvm.io for more info on RVM.
Once RVM is installed, you can install all the dependencies for jq's
documentation build by running this from the docs
directory:
bundle install
When bundle manages to install the dependencies, rerun ./configure
in the jq root directory and then the Makefile will be able to
generate the jq manpage.
