salt.renderers.yamlex¶

YAMLEX renderer is a replacement of the YAML renderer. It's 100% YAML with a pinch of Salt magic:

• All mappings are automatically OrderedDict

• All strings are automatically str obj

• data aggregation with !aggregation yaml tag, based on the salt.utils.aggregation module.

• data aggregation over documents for pillar

Instructed aggregation within the !aggregation and the !reset tags:

#!yamlex
foo: !aggregate first
foo: !aggregate second
bar: !aggregate {first: foo}
bar: !aggregate {second: bar}
baz: !aggregate 42
qux: !aggregate default
!reset qux: !aggregate my custom data

is roughly equivalent to

foo: [first, second]
bar: {first: foo, second: bar}
baz: [42]
qux: [my custom data]
