json_file

• Alias: json_file
• Task: Maestro\Extension\Json\Task\JsonFileTask
• Handler: Maestro\Extension\Json\Task\JsonFileHandler

• Arguments:

  • targetPath (string) Path for new/existing JSON file relative to the package workspace.
  • merge (array) data to merge into JSON file

Create or update a JSON file. If the file exists then the data will be merged into it.

Note

It is not currently possible to create new empty objects (i.e. {}) in JSON as the configuration is converted to an array, so any {} will be interpreted as [].

Any empty existing objects will be respected however.

Example:

{
    "nodes": {
        "example/package": {
            "type": "package",
            "args": {
                "name": "example/package"
            },
            "nodes": {
                "composer json": {
                    "type": "json_file",
                    "args": {
                        "targetPath": "composer.json",
                        "data": {
                            "require": {
                                "psr/log": "^1.0"
                            },
                            "require-dev": {
                                "phpunit/phpunit": "^8.0"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
