yq select entry value based on subkey

Using yq (v4.25.3), and considering the following yaml file

accounts:

- account_id: 'XXXXXXXX'
  name: sandbox
  deploy_iam: true
  role: arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXX:role/iam_role
  regions:
  - all

- account_id: 'YYYYYYY'
  name: dev
  deploy_iam: true
  role: arn:aws:iam::YYYYYYY:role/iam_role
  regions:
  - all

Is it possible to get the value of the deploy_iam attribute given an account_id value?

I can get the list of account_id with yq '.accounts[].account_id' < accounts.yml

And I tried to filter using with_entries

 yq '.accounts[].account_id |= with_entries(select(.key == "XXXXXXXX"))' < accounts.yml

Without luck so far.

Any idea?

With mikfarah/yq it should be pretty straightforward. Select the required object with the select() expression and access the required field with the dot notation

yq '.accounts[] | select(.account_id == "XXXXXXXX").deploy_iam' < accounts.yml
