List and Dict combined

[Vishal Chainani]

Hi,

Can a list have a combination of dict and lists? Below is my data and jinja2 template, while running the play book get an error.

snmp:
      location: xyz
      contact: admin
    - community:
        name: public
        access: read-only
        clients:
          - hosts: 8.8.8.8
          - hosts: 10.10.10.10
    - community:
        name: private
        access: read-write
        clients:
          - hosts: 3.3.3.3
          - hosts: 4.4.4.4

snmp {
    location "{{ snmp.location }}"";
    contact "{{ snmp.contact }}";"
    {% for snmp in snmp %}
    community {{ snmp.community.name }} {
        authorization {{ snmp.community.access }};
        clients {
            {% for client in snmp.community.clients %}
            {{ client.hosts }};
            {% endfor %}
        }
    }
    {% endfor %}
}

Not quite, but you can have a dictionary member whose value is a list:

snmp:
location: xyz
contact: admin

community:
- name: public

access: read-only
clients:
- hosts: 8.8.8.8
- hosts: 10.10.10.10

- name: private

access: read-write
clients:
- hosts: 3.3.3.3
- hosts: 4.4.4.4

And here, each element of the 'community' list is a dict.

The only certain way to prevent another 9/11 is via universal calendar reform.

That works, thanks!
