Show error in interactive examples when query is invalid #53

Open josdejong opened 6 years ago

josdejong commented 6 years ago

The interactive examples on the website are great!

I noticed though that when you're changing the JMESPath query and it becomes invalid, nothing happens. Would be great if the output would display an error instead of showing the last result.

I can create a PR for this I think if someone can point me to the code of these interactive examples.

Using https://codebeautify.org/online-json-editor (disclaimer: that's how I discovered JMESPath) you can see the error message whenever your JMSEPath expression is wrong. You enter your JSON on the left, transfer it on the right with the ">" button, click on the action menu icon matching the root node on which you will apply your expression, then choose Transform from the menu.

@maxxyme ah that's a clone of my website https://jsoneditoronline.org :(. I opened this issue when implementing JMESPath in JSONEditor and was trying out stuff on the website of JMESPath.

So you're saying they just basically copied your stuff?? That's so rude & unfair.

josdejong commented 5 years ago

Yes. The JSONEditor component is open source and I'm happy when it can be of help in any application, but I'm not really happy with copycats competing directly with my website by simply cloning it.

Error message for invalid JMESPath expression would be great. Also an error message if the pasted JSON expression is invalid. I like to use the query editor on the front page of the site for testing out my expressions against example JSON, and it gets quite confusing if either one of them becomes invalid and you don't know what's wrong. Just need a flag/colour to highlight when the error exists, and then go away as soon as the text becomes valid. A larger textarea to type the expression would be good too, but perhaps that is a separate utility. Thanks for the great language!
