Provide ability to pass parameters as a JSON object on the command line

[l2fprod]

Just like I can pass the JSON body of a request on the command line with cURL, I'd like to be able to pass the parameters the same way with the OpenWhisk CLI

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' http://localhost:3000/api/login

as example:

wsk action invoke --body '{"key1": "value1", "object1": { "object1Prop": "anotherValue" }}'

good point.

should we even allow piping it in, sth like echo <json> | wsk action invoke myAction ?

You can put the JSON in a file, and pass that filename to the -P flag.

true but here I don't want to have to create a temp file.
