From 15f7e25b3c60c405083ac19b8b635511fa23d7e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Botka Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2022 21:20:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Update=20docs=20helper.=20Automate=20generation?= =?UTF-8?q?=20of=20'Merging=20lists=20of=20dictiona=E2=80=A6=20(#4125)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * Update docs helper. Automate generation of 'Merging lists of dictionaries'. * Updated helper/lists_mergeby/playbook.yml, list of examples and templates. See playbook.yml on how to create *.out files, test examples and generate the REST file filter_guide_abstract_informations_merging_lists_of_dictionaries.rst * Generated REST file copied to directory rst * Simplified examples. The common lists are published only once. Only the expressions are published instead of the whole tasks. * To change the content of the section 'Merging lists of dictionaries' update template filter_guide_abstract_informations_merging_lists_of_dictionaries.rst.j2 and run the playbook. * Deleted rst/examples/lists_mergeby. Not needed anymore. * Update docs/docsite/helper/lists_mergeby/filter_guide_abstract_informations_merging_lists_of_dictionaries.rst.j2 Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein * Update docs/docsite/rst/filter_guide_abstract_informations_merging_lists_of_dictionaries.rst Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein --- .../helper/lists_mergeby/default-common.yml | 13 + .../lists_mergeby/default-recursive-true.yml | 19 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-001.yml | 10 + .../example-001_vars/default-common.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-001_vars/list3.yml | 2 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-002.yml | 10 + .../example-002_vars/default-common.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-002_vars/list3.yml | 2 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-003.yml | 10 + .../default-recursive-true.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-003_vars/list3.yml | 3 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-004.yml | 10 + .../default-recursive-true.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-004_vars/list3.yml | 4 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-005.yml | 10 + .../default-recursive-true.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-005_vars/list3.yml | 4 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-006.yml | 10 + .../default-recursive-true.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-006_vars/list3.yml | 4 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-007.yml | 10 + .../default-recursive-true.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-007_vars/list3.yml | 4 + .../helper/lists_mergeby/example-008.yml | 10 + .../default-recursive-true.yml | 1 + .../lists_mergeby/example-008_vars/list3.yml | 4 + .../docsite/helper/lists_mergeby/examples.yml | 24 +- .../{examples.rst.j2 => examples_all.rst.j2} | 2 +- ...tions_merging_lists_of_dictionaries.rst.j2 | 57 ++ .../docsite/helper/lists_mergeby/list3.out.j2 | 2 + .../docsite/helper/lists_mergeby/playbook.yml | 54 +- .../examples/lists_mergeby/example-001.out | 10 -
