A minimal integration between jq and consult for interactive JSON filtering in Emacs.

This package provides a live-updating interface to filter JSON data in your current buffer. As you type a jq filter in the minibuffer, the results are displayed with syntax highlighting. Press RET to copy the result to the kill ring.

• Emacs 29.1 or newer
• jq

(use-package consult-jq
  :straight (:host github :repo "elken/consult-jq")
  :commands (consult-jq))

1. Clone the repository
2. Add to your load path
3. Require the package

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/consult-jq")
(require 'consult-jq)

Open a JSON file and run:

M-x consult-jq

Type a jq filter to see the results update in real-time. Press RET to copy the result to the kill ring.

The package provides several shorthand filters for common operations:

• keys - Show all object keys
• items - Show keys as separate items
• values - Show all values
• types - Show types of all values

You can customize the available shorthand filters:

(setq consult-jq-filter-alist
      '(("items" . "keys[]")
        ("types" . "map_values(type)")
        ("count" . "length")))  ;; Added custom shorthand
