Search through an array

[victorgdb]

Hello, first of all this plugin is amazing. Kudos for it!

I have a large array, and I would like to get a specific array index. Is it doable?

package.components[0] doens't return the first component.

Other question, do you think it would be possible to run the code through a unsaved buffer (to avoid having to save the buffer to a file.json)?

Thanks!

This should work already via package.components.0 in this case. Are the indexes not showing up for you?

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

Thanks for your prompt answer! package.components.0 doesn't return anything for me, could it be because the json file is too big (12K lines)?

Attached a screenshot showing the results part for the search components, it seems 0 is not displayed. But .1 is not working either.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

1. I copy a JSON from what returns my API
2. I create a new buffer to receive this json
3. I paste the copied JSON

I would like to be able to run jsonfly on the unamed temporary buffer I've just created, but apparently I need to save this buffer as a json file :w test.json first. I would prefer not to store any json file, since they are temporary.

Ahh I see. Can you try changing the backend to the native lua one:

require"telescope".setup {
    extensions = {
        jsonfly = {
            backend = "lua"
        }
    }
}

I guess there's something up with the lsp backend...

I personally don't work with unnamed (?) buffers, how do you create them? I can see if there's some way to add support for that :D

      require('telescope').load_extension 'jsonfly'
      require('telescope').setup {
        defaults = {
          -- `hidden = true` is not supported in text grep commands.
          vimgrep_arguments = vimgrep_arguments,
        },
        pickers = {
          find_files = {
            -- `hidden = true` will still show the inside of `.git/` as it's not `.gitignore`d.
            find_command = {
              'rg',
              '--files',
              '--ignore',
              '--hidden',
              '-u',
              '--glob',
              '!**/.git/*',
              '--glob',
              '!**/node_modules/*',
              '--glob',
              '!**/.next/*',
              '--glob',
              '!**/dist/*',
            },
          },
        },
        extensions = {
          fzf = true,
          jsonfly = {
            backend = 'lua',
          },
        },
      }

Does this configuration look correct to you? Because with it it's still not working.

I'm far from being a vim expert, I use :tabnew to add a new buffer. What would be your flow to analyze a json copied from an external source?

[Myzel394]

All right so I've spoken to the LSP and told them their behavior is completely unacceptable. Luckily they said it's no problem to also parse arrays and it should work now. Can you update the plugin and test if it works? (make sure you are at least on commit 52d56f2e072c91b0da548db48f4e9375b29d740f)

When I use APIs or other external stuff, I personally use jq most of the times

Amazing it's now working!!! Thanks again for your time 🙇
