What does yaml include.yaml-include mean?


Asked by Ashley Walker on Dec 15, 2021 FAQ



yaml-include. yaml-include. This package provides support custom tags in a YAML document that facilitate inclusion of external .yaml files, or directories of .yaml files. This functionality is of course frowned upon by the YAML core team, but I find YAML too damn useful as a configuration format to not support inclusions.
Also,
For Ansible, nearly every YAML file starts with a list. Each item in the list is a list of key/value pairs, commonly called a “hash” or a “dictionary”. So, we need to know how to write lists and dictionaries in YAML. There’s another small quirk to YAML.
Just so, YAML includes a markup language with important construct, to distinguish data-oriented language with the document markup. The design goals and features of YAML are given below − Matches native data structures of agile methodology and its languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby and JavaScript YAML data is portable between programming languages
Besides,
No, YAML does not include any kind of "import" or "include" statement. Your question does not ask for a Python solution, but here is one using PyYAML. PyYAML allows you to attach custom constructors (such as !include) to the YAML loader.
Accordingly,
The synopsis of YAML basic elements is given here: Comments in YAML begins with the ( #) character. Comments must be separated from other tokens by whitespaces. Indentation of whitespace is used to denote structure. Tabs are not included as indentation for YAML files. List members are denoted by a leading hyphen ( - ).
