[JCasC] can i utilize variables?

Hi!

I am new to this.  I have been trying to figure out a way to utilize variables in the yaml file.

Help.

I don't believe JCasC support variables in the yaml, but in our project we use jsonnet to be able to template or use variables in the creation of the casc.

Hi,

You can use environment variables inside of your JCasC file. If you need something more complicated you can use a Jinja template and https://github.com/kolypto/j2cli to make the transformation to YAML

In case it helps, here is an example that sets the Jenkins URL based on an environment variable set from the script that launches it.

Hi,

Jinja templates are great for such use. However, if you fancy something
more "exotic", go templates are something worth a go.
