Utilizing the code at How do I use a shell-script as Chrome Native Messaging host application as a template and given the file file.json
which contains
{"text":"abc"}
following the code at Iterate over json with jq and the jq documentation
$ cat file.json | jq --raw-output '.text'
outputs
abc
Am not certain how to incorporate the pattern at this Answer
while read -r id name date; do
echo "Do whatever with ${id} ${name} ${date}"
done< <(api-producing-json | jq --raw-output '.newList[] | "\(.id) \(.name) \(.create.date)"')
into the template at the former Answer for the purpose of capturing the single property "text"
(abc
) from the JSON
within the loop using jq
for the ability to pass that text to another system call then printf
the message to client.
What we are trying to achieve is
json=$(<bash program> <captured JSON property>)
message='{"message": "'$json'"}'
where the {"text":"abc"}
is sent to the Native Messaging host from client (Chromium app).
How to use jq
within the code at the former Answer to get the JSON
property as a variable?
