salt.serializers.keyvalue¶

New in version 3006.0.

Implements keyvalue serializer which can be used for serializing or deserializing any file which defines keys and values separated by a common set of characters, such environment files, which are in "KEY=value" format.

Options:

param line_ending: String representation of LF or CRLF to be used for serialization to a file. Defaults to \r\n on Windows and \n on other operating systems.
param quoting: Boolean flag to determine if values should be quoted (True) during serialization or dequoted (False) during deserialization. Defaults to None (no action).
param separator: String representing the character(s) used when concatenating or reading key/value pairs. Defaults to =.

A dataset such as:

foo: bar
wang: chung

- [foo, bar]
- [wang, chung]

can be represented as:

foo=bar
wang=chung

exception salt.serializers.keyvalue.DeserializationError(message, line_num=None, buf='', marker=' <======================', trace=None)¶: Raised when stream of string failed to be deserialized

exception salt.serializers.keyvalue.SerializationError(message='')¶: Raised when stream of string failed to be serialized

salt.serializers.keyvalue.dequote(value)¶: Remove extra quotes around a string.

salt.serializers.keyvalue.deserialize(stream_or_string, **options)¶

Deserialize any string or stream like object into a Python data structure.

Parameters

stream_or_string -- stream or string to deserialize.
options -- options given to the function

salt.serializers.keyvalue.quote(txt)¶

Wraps a text around quotes.

{% set my_text = 'my_text' %}
{{ my_text | quote }}

will be rendered as:

'my_text'

salt.serializers.keyvalue.serialize(obj, **options)¶
