## Merge arrays of objects together, matching on a key
It's a complex command, the trickyness comes from needing to have the right context in the expressions.
First we save the second array into a variable '$two' which lets us reference it later.
We then need to update the first array. We will use the relative update (|=) because we need to update relative to the current element of the array in the LHS in the RHS expression.
We set the current element of the first array as $cur. Now we multiply (merge) $cur with the matching entry in $two, by passing $two through a select filter.
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
- a: apple
b: appleB
- a: kiwi
b: kiwiB
- a: banana
b: bananaB
```
And another sample another.yml file of:
```yaml
- a: banana
c: bananaC
- a: apple
b: appleB2
- a: dingo
c: dingoC
```
then
```bash
yq eval-all '(select(fi==1) | .[]) as $two | select(fi==0) | .[] |= (. as $cur | $cur * ($two | select(.a == $cur.a)))' sample.yml another.yml
```
will output
```yaml
- a: apple
b: appleB2
- a: kiwi
b: kiwiB
- a: banana
b: bananaB
c: bananaC
```
## Merge objects together, returning merged result only
