replace-json-property

This module allows you to replace a specific property in a JSON. You can use this via the following command:

replace-json-property pathToFile property value

This command replaces all occurences of the matching property. It also replaces occurences in nested objects or objects in arrays.

The following command would replace all values of the foo property with 'test' inside the test.json.

replace-json-property ./test.json foo test,

Executing the command above on the given JSON

{
    foo: 'bar',
    a: {
        b: 1,
        foo: 'bar',
        c: [
            {d: 1, foo: 'bar'},
            {d: 2, foo: 'bar'},
            {d: 3, foo: 'bar'},
        ]
    }
}

results in:

{
    foo: 'test',
    a: {
        b: 1,
        foo: 'test',
        c: [
            {d: 1, foo: 'test'},
            {d: 2, foo: 'test'},
            {d: 3, foo: 'test'},
        ]
    }
}
