JSONEdit plugin enhancement request

Hello team,

I’ve been using this plugin a lot and it’s extremely useful to manipulate data easily.
The issues here are;

  • The documentation is missing for the “input” part for “update” function.
  • And update works with updating single key.

Because of the need to update multiple keys with this plugin, I suggest the following code change;

import komand
from .schema import UpdateInput, UpdateOutput

# Custom imports below


class Update(komand.Action):
    def __init__(self):
        super(self.__class__, self).__init__(
            name="update",
            description="Update value by key",
            input=UpdateInput(),
            output=UpdateOutput(),
        )

    def run(json, params=[]):

        if isinstance(json, dict):
            new_dict = dict(json)
            for update in params:
                update_key = update.get("key")
                update_value = update.get("value")
                if update_key in new_dict:
                    new_dict[update_key] = update_value
            return {"json": [new_dict]}

        if isinstance(json, list):
            l = []
            for d in json:
                new_dict = dict(d)
                for update in params:
                    update_key = update.get("key")
                    update_value = update.get("value")
                    if update_key in new_dict:
                        new_dict[update_key] = update_value
                l.append(new_dict)
            return {"json": l}

        return {"json": [{}]}

Please note that I didn’t test the code fully, but the logic behind it is clear.
