How to automate and generalize the following command -when used into a bash script- for different parameters...












4















I want to use this command into a bash script where each time I will have a different array input containing the parameters?



knowing that I have an array (as input from the user) where each column contains "parameteri=valuei".



I want to get rid of the hardcoded aspect in introducing the name and the value of each parameter.



For instance, with this input:



"id=123,verbosity=high"


I will eventually get this final instruction:



curl -X POST JENKINS_URL/job/JOB_NAME/build 
--user USER:TOKEN
--data-urlencode json='{"parameter": [{"name":"id", "value":"123"}, {"name":"verbosity", "value":"high"}]}'


What is a clean way to do so?

          You can make it the sexy way, building the jsonParameters from specified key=value parameters:



          #!/bin/bash

          jsonParameters=""
          while IFS=',' read -r -a parameterEntries; do
          for parameterEntry in "${parameterEntries[@]}"; do
          IFS='=' read -r key value <<< "$parameterEntry"
          [ ! -z "$jsonParameters" ] && jsonParameters="$jsonParameters,"
          jsonParameters="$jsonParameters {"name":"$key", "value": "$value"}"
          done
          done <<< "$@"


          Explanations:




          • the first loop will create the array named parameterEntries, with all your specified parameters, each element will contain key=value

          • then, the second loop, which iterates on each element of this array, will extract key, and value of it

          • eventually, it is only syntax writting to get the JSON output you want

          • the [ ! -z "$jsonParameters" ] && jsonParameters="$jsonParameters," is just here to add a separating coma, only if there is more than one element


          Then you simply have to use the $jsonParameters where you want:



          curl -X POST JENKINS_URL/job/JOB_NAME/build 
          --user USER:TOKEN
          --data-urlencode json="{"parameter": [$jsonParameters]}"
