Merge two files with tag replace

[klinux]

Hello,

I have two files, I have created a merge, but some blocks was duplicated.

file1.yaml

...
paths:
  /backoffice:
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    apikey:
      propagateApiKey: true
    description: "Description of the ApiKey Gravitee Policy",
    enabled: true
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    rate-limit:
      async: false
      addHeaders: false
      rate:
        periodTime: 1
        periodTimeUnit: SECONDS
        limit: 5
...

file2.yaml

...
paths:
  /backoffice:
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    rate-limit:
      async: false
      addHeaders: false
      rate:
        periodTime: 1
        periodTimeUnit: SECONDS
        limit: 50
...

I'm using this command:
yq eval-all '. as $item ireduce ({}; . *+ $item)' file1.yaml file2.yaml > merged.yaml

The merge works fine, I want to merge the files, the file1 is the base, and file2 is the difference that I want to add.

But in the cases that I have some duplicated, the merge duplicate the result, like:

merged.yaml

...
paths:
  /backoffice:
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    apikey:
      propagateApiKey: true
    description: "Description of the ApiKey Gravitee Policy",
    enabled: true
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    rate-limit:
      async: false
      addHeaders: false
      rate:
        periodTime: 1
        periodTimeUnit: SECONDS
        limit: 50
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    rate-limit:
      async: false
      addHeaders: false
      rate:
        periodTime: 1
        periodTimeUnit: SECONDS
        limit: 50
...

There's any way do replace the values, example, the result that I need is:

...
paths:
  /backoffice:
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    apikey:
      propagateApiKey: true
    description: "Description of the ApiKey Gravitee Policy",
    enabled: true
  - methods:
    - GET
    - PUT
    - POST
    rate-limit:
      async: false
      addHeaders: false
      rate:
        periodTime: 1
        periodTimeUnit: SECONDS
        limit: 50
...

So under the '/backoffice' key, you have an array of objects. Question is, how do you know which elements in the array identify the same thing to merge them together? Once you know that, you can follow the example here: https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/operators/multiply-merge#merge-arrays-of-objects-together-matching-on-a-key to merge... Hope that helps!
