Fixes #395

This adds a global --jq flag, like gh has, so you can pull fields out of the output without having jq installed. That's handy in init containers that only ship the CLI:

export FGA_STORE_ID=$(fga store create --model model.fga --jq .store.id)
fga tuple read --simple-output --jq '.[].object'

The filter runs on the JSON form of whatever a command would print, in output.Display and UniPrinter.Display, so every JSON command gets it without changes to the commands. String results print without quotes (like jq -r), so they work directly in scripts. Other values print the way the command would normally print them. An invalid expression fails before the command runs.

I used gojq for this (MIT, pure Go) and added it to the depguard allowlist. go mod tidy also bumped go-runewidth, which gojq needs. The README gets a short "Filtering Output" section, and the store create example now uses the flag.

Notes

The unit tests cover parsing, field/array/object/number results, runtime errors, and raw string printing. I also checked it by hand with fga model validate --file ... --jq .is_valid. --output-file from #784 also touches internal/output/marshal.go, so whichever one lands second will need a small rebase.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a --jq option to filter JSON output with jq expressions. String results print without quotes; other values remain JSON.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance and an updated example for filtering command output with --jq.

Walkthrough

The CLI adds a persistent --jq flag. It applies the configured expression to command output before display and documents the flag’s behavior and usage.

Changes

jq output filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filter evaluation and display internal/output/jq.go, internal/output/marshal.go, internal/output/jq_test.go, go.mod, .golangci.yaml	The output package compiles and applies jq filters, prints string results as raw lines, and passes other results to the existing display functions. Tests cover filter setup, results, errors, and string output. The dependency and import allowlist are updated.
CLI filter configuration cmd/root.go	The root command adds a persistent --jq flag and applies its resolved value through output.SetJQFilter during configuration initialization.
Filter documentation and example README.md	The README documents the flag and updates the store creation example to use it.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 9dca3

The filtering feature has bounded inconsistencies: configured expressions can be truncated, some output paths ignore the filter, and results preceding an error are lost. Merge is reasonable only with owner awareness and follow-up on these limitations.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat: add a --jq flag to filter JSON output" matches the main change. The PR adds a global --jq flag that applies a gojq filter to JSON command output. The raw summary confirms the new internal/output/jq.go, the persistent flag in cmd/root.go, and the Display changes in marshal.go. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional commit prefix. It does not cover the README, depguard, or dependency updates, which is acceptable.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #395 requests built-in output transformation so users can extract values such as the store ID without installing jq. The PR adds a global persistent --jq flag in cmd/root.go. initConfig passes the resolved value to output.SetJQFilter. internal/output/jq.go parses and compiles the expression and applies it to the JSON form of command output. internal/output/marshal.go routes UniPrinter.Display and package-level Display through displayFiltered when a filter is set. String results print raw, which matches the jq -r behavior in the issue example. internal/output/jq_test.go covers parsing, scalar, per-element, object, and numeric results, runtime errors, and raw string printing. The README documents the flag, and the store-create example uses it. The PR description also states that invalid expressions fail before the command runs. Based on the PR summary, all coding requirements of #395 are implemented. The assessment does not include a direct read of the diff or a test run. It relies on the supplied summary and PR description.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed areas connect to the --jq objective of #395. Changes in cmd/root.go, internal/output/jq.go, internal/output/marshal.go, and their tests implement the flag and its filtering. The README changes document the flag and update the store-create example that the issue cites. The .golangci.yaml depguard allowlist entry permits the new gojq dependency. The go.mod changes add gojq and its transitive dependencies (clipperhouse/uax29/v2, itchyny/timefmt-go). They also bump mattn/go-runewidth, which the PR says gojq requires. None of these changes is unrelated to the flag. go.sum is excluded from review by the !**/*.sum rule, so its contents were not inspected. This does not affect the scope verdict, because checksum entries for the required dependencies are a build concern and not a scope concern.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 71.43% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 4 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @cmd/root.go:
- Around line 136-138: Update the jq value loading around
rootCmd.PersistentFlags().GetString and output.SetJQFilter so FGA_JQ and
config-file values retain their full whitespace-containing expression instead of
being split into fields. Preserve command-line flag precedence, and pass the
resulting scalar string to SetJQFilter.

Review comments at @internal/output/jq.go:
- Around line 54-89: Update applyJQFilter’s result-handling flow so each jq
result is printed as it is produced, before calling iter.Next again, while still
propagating any subsequent jq error. Establish and reuse the existing output
mechanism rather than inventing one; do not defer printing until the full
iteration succeeds.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 211: Update the `fga mapping validate` JSON output flow so `--jq` filters
the validation JSON and `.valid` prints `true`. Preserve the command’s existing
output writer and exit-status behavior.
- Line 211: Update the `--jq` documentation to clarify that non-string results
are printed using the selected output format, including YAML when
`--output-format yaml` is selected; retain the existing behavior description for
string results.
- Line 211: Update the `--jq` handling for `fga tuple read` with CSV output so
the filter is applied and `empty` produces no records; if filtering CSV is
unsupported, reject the combination instead. Ensure the README documents the
behavior or restriction consistently.

Nice addition. A few fixes below. I also reproduced CodeRabbit's FGA_JQ splitting and dropped-results-on-error findings, both worth addressing.

What changed in this PR

Adds a global --jq flag to filter structured CLI output without an external jq installation, supporting scripts and minimal container environments.

Changes:

• Compiles filters before command execution and applies them through shared output printers, printing string results without quotes.
• Adds unsupported-output checks and unit tests for filtering behavior.
• Documents usage and adds gojq dependencies and lint configuration.

File	Description
README.md	Documents filtering and updates the store ID extraction example.
internal/​output/​marshal.go	Integrates filtering into shared output printers.
internal/​output/​jq.go	Implements filter compilation, execution, and application tracking.
internal/​output/​jq_test.go	Tests filtering, errors, environment access, and result handling.
go.sum	Updates dependency checksums.
go.mod	Adds gojq and updates supporting dependencies.
cmd/​tuple/​read.go	Rejects combining CSV output with --jq.
cmd/​root.go	Registers and initializes the flag and checks filter application.
.golangci.yaml	Allows the gojq dependency through depguard.

[Siddhant-K-code]

Env, streaming, the CSV rejection and the CLI-only flag all check out. One issue left with when the unsupported-command check runs.

[Siddhant-K-code]

LGTM. Heads up for #784: once both land, tuple read --output-file f --jq X writes the unfiltered file and then exits 1 from the post-run check, since writeReadResponseToFile goes through output.Render. Whichever PR lands second should reject --jq with --output-file up front, like the csv guard.
