How to automate and generalize the following command -when used into a bash script- for different parameters...
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]}"
Thank you for your response @Bsquare, can you elaborate a quick explanation?

Good, so I was right when I got rid of the first loop because I already handled the array containing the parameters. Thanks man I appreciate it.
