Add conditional logic to variable files?

[Robert Flaugher]

I've been using Ansible Galaxy roles from Jeff Geerling.  In his Github READMEs he seems to say that you can override variable settings in his default/main.yml and vars/*.yml files by reproducing the desired settings in a <project>/vars/main.yml file and then re-assigning them your desire values.  This works well but there are times when I'd like to use the following logic in that file:

# vars/main.yml
enable_setting: true
...


if enable_setting
   foo: bar
else
   baz: barf

Is this possible?  I didn't see this mentioned in the Ansible docs on Variables and Conditionals.

Thanks.

data files have no logic, but you can use a templated value instead:

foo: "{{ enabled_setting|ternary('bar', '') }}"
baz: "{{ enabled_setting|ternary('', 'barf') }}"
