JSON.ARRAPPEND

Syntax

JSON.ARRAPPEND key [path] value [value ...]

Time complexity: O(1) when path is evaluated to a single value, O(N) when path is evaluated to multiple values, where N is the size of the key

Append the json values into the array at path after the last element in it

Examples

Required arguments

key

is key to modify.

value

is one or more values to append to one or more arrays.

About using strings with JSON commands

To specify a string as an array value to append, wrap the quoted string with an additional set of single quotes. Example: '"silver"'. For more detailed use, see Examples.

Optional arguments

path

is JSONPath to specify. Default is root $.

Return value

JSON.ARRAPEND returns an array of integer replies for each path, the array's new size, or nil, if the matching JSON value is not an array. For more information about replies, see Redis serialization protocol specification.

Examples

Create a document for noise-cancelling headphones in black and silver colors.

OK

Add color blue to the end of the colors array. JSON.ARRAPEND returns the array's new size.

dragonfly> JSON.ARRAPPEND item:1 $.colors '"blue"'
1) (integer) 3

Return the new length of the colors array.
