NAME

Catmandu::Fix::Bind::hashmap - a binder to add key/value pairs to an internal hashmap

SYNOPSIS

 # Find non unique ISBN numbers in the record stream
 do hashmap(join: ',')
    copy_field(isbn,key)
    copy_field(_id,value)
 end

 # will export to the JSON exporter a hash map containing all isbn occurrences in the stream

 { "_id": "9781565920422" , "value": "rec0001,rec0329,rec1032" }
 { "_id": "9780596004927" , "value": "rec0718" }

 # Ignore the values. Count the number of ISBN occurrences in a stream
 # File: count.fix:
 do hashmap(count: 1)
    copy_field(isbn,key)
 end

 # Use the Null exporter to suppress the normal output
 $ cat /tmp/data.json | catmandu convert JSON --fix count.fix to Null

DESCRIPTION

The hashmap binder will insert all key/value pairs given to a internal hashmap that can be exported using an Catmandu::Exporter.

The 'key' fields in the internal hashmap will be exported as '_id' field.

If the key in the hashmap Bind is an ARRAY, then multiple key/value pairs will be inserted into the hashmap.

By default all the values will be added as an array to the hashmap. Every key will have one or more values. Use the 'join' parameter to create a string out of this array.

CONFIGURATION

exporter: EXPORTER

The name of an exporter to send the results to. Default: JSON Extra parameters can be added:

    do hashmap(exporter: JSON, file:/tmp/data.json, count: 1)
      ...
    end

store: STORE

Send the output to a store instead of an exporter. Extra parameters can be added:

    do hashmap(store: MongoDB, database_name: test, bag: data, count: 1)
      ...
    end

uniq: 0|1

When set to 1, then all values in the key 'value' will be made unique

join: CHAR

Join all the values of a key using a delimiter.

count: 0|1

Don't store the values only count the number of key occurrences.
