Advanced Listing using jq

Several abra commands can output JSON formatted tables, and can thus be queried and filtered with the tool jq. We can also format these outputs with tv into a pretty table.

Currently, abra recipe ls, abra server ls, and abra app ls support the -m machine readable output flag which outputs JSON.

Filter recipes by "category"

abra recipe ls -m | jq '[.[] | select(.category == "Utilities") ]' | tv

As you can see we, we're selecting all recipes where category is "Utilities".

Filter apps by state deployed

!!! info abra app ls -S queries each server in your added server list, where as without the -S it only lists from your local copy of the sever files (thus providing no information about actual state of the apps)

!!! info abra app ls lists apps grouped into a server object, with statistics about the server. In jq we can select the entire apps list with .[].apps[].

abra app ls -m -S |jq '[.[].apps[] | select(.status == "deployed") | del(.upgrade)]' |tv

The del(.upgrade) filter filters out available versions for the recipe in question for that row. It could be useful to leave in if you want a list of deployed apps that need an upgrade.
