Ansible-string-split-filter

A simple Ansible Jinja2 filter to split a string into a list.

Setup

See the plugin documentation.

Usage

split(delimiter)

split_regex(pattern) #regex syntax is identical to Pythons)#

Examples

In a Jinja 2 template:

# hostname = dev.example.com
ldap_server = "dc={{ hostname | split('.') | join(',dc=') }}"

Output:

ldap_server = dc=dev,dc=example,dc=com

The same example, using split_regex:

ldap_server = "dc={{ hostname | split_regex('\.') | join(',dc=') }}"

Contributing

Any improvements are welcome. This is actually my first time publishing reusable code, so any feedback on making open-source code more useful is also appreciated!
