Hi there!

To reduce project dependency on 3rd party paid services the StackStorm TSC has decided to move the Q/A from this forum to Github Discussions. This will make user experience better integrated with the native Github flow, as well as the questions closer to the community where they can provide answers.

Help with YAQL query

Workflows
#1

I have hit a brick wall trying to publish a yaql expression from output data and documentation on yaql is somewhat sparse

From the below output, I am trying to publish virtualmachine.id where virtualmachine.nic.networkname = lan-net

Any pointers to what the expression should look like would be appreciated

virtualmachine:

It will be hard to help since the YAML you’ve posted is not formatted. The structure of the dataset is important. Can you update your post so it’s formatted correctly?

In general when working with YAQL, the YAQL evaluator website http://yaqluator.com/ and YAQL documentation https://yaql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ are very useful

Have you tried using the where / select. Is nic just a dict or an array of dictionaries? As indention has gone funny I wasn’t sure. I’m assuming virtuamachine is an array, that includes properties id and nic.

Not sure if this is the simplest, but I think if nic is just a dictionary then you could use:

ctx().virtualmachine.where($.nic.networkname="lan.net").select($.id)

But if its an array of dictionaries then maybe something like:
ctx().virtualmachine.where($.nic.networkname.contains("lan.net")).select($.id)

But as Carlos mentioned the yaqluator is really useful, I generally type in the JSON into there, and then build up my YAQL querie s- and using the YAQL doc site he has pointed at.

Apologies, the data was actually a copy paste from yaqulator, but it appears it didn’t format correctly. The solution to the problem based on amanda11 response was

.virtualmachine.where(.nic.networkname.contains(“lan-net”)).id

I can’t work out how to post the data and maintain the formatting, if someone can tell me how I’ll post it again for other to reference

Thanks for your help & support

Use the button for preformatted text inside the editor.

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces

So you just paste in the text you want preformatted. Select the pasted text in the editor and click the prefomatted text button. Here’s an example using some of your inital text.
