keep_keys
"""""""""
Use the filter :ansplugin:`community.general.keep_keys#filter` if you have a list of dictionaries and want to keep certain keys only.
.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ansplugin:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.
Let us use the below list in the following examples:
.. code-block:: yaml
input:
- k0_x0: A0
k1_x1: B0
k2_x2: [C0]
k3_x3: foo
- k0_x0: A1
k1_x1: B1
k2_x2: [C1]
k3_x3: bar
* By default, match keys that equal any of the items in the target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1
target: ['k0_x0', 'k1_x1']
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target) }}"
gives
.. code-block:: yaml
:emphasize-lines: 1-
result:
- {k0_x0: A0, k1_x1: B0}
- {k0_x0: A1, k1_x1: B1}
.. versionadded:: 9.1.0
* The results of the below examples 1-5 are all the same:
.. code-block:: yaml
:emphasize-lines: 1-
result:
- {k0_x0: A0, k1_x1: B0}
- {k0_x0: A1, k1_x1: B1}
1. Match keys that equal any of the items in the target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: equal
target: ['k0_x0', 'k1_x1']
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
2. Match keys that start with any of the items in the target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: starts_with
target: ['k0', 'k1']
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
3. Match keys that end with any of the items in target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: ends_with
target: ['x0', 'x1']
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
4. Match keys by the regex.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: regex
target: ['^.*[01]_x.*$']
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
5. Match keys by the regex.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: regex
target: ^.*[01]_x.*$
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
* The results of the below examples 6-9 are all the same:
.. code-block:: yaml
:emphasize-lines: 1-
result:
- {k0_x0: A0}
- {k0_x0: A1}
6. Match keys that equal the target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: equal
target: k0_x0
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
7. Match keys that start with the target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: starts_with
target: k0
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
8. Match keys that end with the target.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: ends_with
target: x0
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
9. Match keys by the regex.
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
:emphasize-lines: 1,2
mp: regex
target: ^.*0_x.*$
result: "{{ input | community.general.keep_keys(target=target, matching_parameter=mp) }}"
