== Ansible Role: Yedit
This repository contains an ansible module for modifying yaml files.
I didn't see a good method of editing yaml files and config managing them through ansible. This is my attempt.
== Install
You can install via Ansible Galaxy:
$ ansible-galaxy install kwoodson.yedit
If you do this, you should also add a requirements.yml
so other users of your playbook know what dependencies to install:
---
- src: kwoodson.yedit
You can then reference it in a play by importing it before use:
roles:
- kwoodson.yedit
- role-that-uses-yedit
== Examples
hosts: localhost gather_facts: no roles:
kwoodson.yedit tasks:
name: manage yaml files yedit: src: /tmp/test.yaml key: a.b.c value: d: e: f: this is a test
name: get a specific value yedit: src: /tmp/test.yaml state: list key: a.b.c.d.e.f register: yeditout
== Development
As this is a role, just copy it into any roles directory recognized by Ansible. For details, see http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/index.html[Ansible documentation]:
