HyprQuery

HyprQuery is a configuration parser for hypr* config files. It allows you to query configuration values from a specified config file and optionally use a schema file to add default values.

Installation

To build HyprQuery, you need to have a C++ compiler and CMake installed. Follow these steps to build the project:

git clone https://github.com/HyDE-Project/hyprquery.git
cd hyprquery
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

Usage

hyprquery provides hyq as a binary.

hyq --query <query> config_file [--schema <schema_file>] [--allow-missing] [--get-defaults] [--strict] [--json]

Options

• --query <query>: Query to execute (required).
• config_file: Path to the configuration file (required).
• --schema <schema_file>: Path to the schema file.
• --allow-missing: Allow missing values.
• --get-defaults: Get default keys.
• --strict: Enable strict mode.
• --json, -j: Output result in JSON format.

Examples

Query a configuration value from a config file:

hyq --query some_key config.json

Query a configuration value with a schema file:

hyq --query some_key config.json --schema schema.json

Output the result in JSON format:

hyq --query some_key config.json --json

Schema

As per as i'm dumb, I cannot find a way for hyprlang to just work like jq. Therefore we required a schema so we can parse the target file correctly. This is also helpful to handle data types and default fallbacks.

See schema.
