Variables

Variables can be used within templates, and builtin.debug resources, as well as when statement. They live under the variables folder within the code folder, and are mapped to a specific node, or to a group.

/etc/peekl/code
└── production
    └─ variables
       ├── groups
       └── nodes

Under either of the groups or nodes folder, you'll have to create a folder with the name of the node you want to write variables for, or a folder with the name of the group if it's a group. In those folder, you'll be able to define an unlimited number of .yml files.

As an example let's take the node agent again. With the following structure, the content of both of the .yml file (secrets.yml and applications.yml) will be loaded as variables.

/etc/peekl/code
└── production
    └─ variables
       └── nodes
           └─ agent
              ├── secrets.yml
              └── applications.yml

In a YAML file you can declare variables like so.

my_var: "result"
my_dict:
  key_one: "key_one"
  key_two: "key_two"
my_list:
  - "hello"
  - "bonjour"
  - "hola"
