Adds tooling to extract node names and last-modified timestamps from flake.lock.

JQ Expression

jq '.nodes | to_entries | map({name: .key, lastModified: .value.locked.lastModified})' flake.lock

Transforms the nodes object into an array of {name, lastModified} pairs. The root node returns null for lastModified since it lacks a locked field.

Usage

./scripts/flake-lock-query.sh [path/to/flake.lock]

Files Added

  • scripts/flake-lock-query.sh - Executable wrapper for the query
  • doc/jq-flake-lock.md - Expression breakdown and examples

@erikd @copilot. Create a `jq` expression which when run on the `flake.lock` in this repository extracts the name and the `lastModified` field for every element of `nodes`.
