Module to work with salt formula defaults files
salt.modules.defaults.
deepcopy
(source)¶Allows deep copy of objects in formulas.
By default, Python does not copy objects, it creates bindings between a target and an object.
It is more typical to use this in a templating language in formulas, instead of directly on the command-line.
salt.modules.defaults.
get
(key, default=u'')¶defaults.get is used much like pillar.get except that it will read a default value for a pillar from defaults.json or defaults.yaml files that are stored in the root of a salt formula.
CLI Example:
salt '*' defaults.get core:users:root
The defaults is computed from pillar key. The first entry is considered as the formula namespace.
For example, querying core:users:root
will try to load
salt://core/defaults.yaml
and salt://core/defaults.json
.
salt.modules.defaults.
merge
(dest, src, merge_lists=False, in_place=True)¶Allows deep merging of dicts in formulas.
If True, it will merge into dest dict, if not it will make a new copy from that dict and return it.
CLI Example: .. code-block:: bash
salt '*' default.merge a=b d=e
It is more typical to use this in a templating language in formulas, instead of directly on the command-line.
