I want to make an additional note that this is a generic problem with functions with variadic arguments. They can be used in a limited settings and their usage can not be parametrized with lists. #330 is a similar issue.
dig
is a very useful function. Since it uses a variadic argument to specify the keys, the caller needs to know them prior to calling it. While handy in most cases, this is a limitation for implementing more advanced templates partials and helpers where the helper receives the list of the keys as a parameter.digFromDict
(whichdig
already uses) has the signature that satisfies the requirements that was mentioned above and can be a complement todig
for special purposes. It just needs to be exposed.The following example (for Helm) tries to depict this:
A helper like
"settings.helper"
can not be implemented withdig
.
