Reference: Jinja
Check if an object has the same value as another object.
Example
As per the selectattr( ) page, the Jinja equalto( ) Test, as well as the Ansible match( ) and search( ) Tests all work in a similar fashion.
Using this dictionary:
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars:
network:
addresses:
private_ext:
- type: fixed
addr: 172.16.2.100
private_man:
- type: fixed
addr: 172.16.1.100
- type: floating
addr: 10.90.80.10
We can obtain the “floating” value using any one of following filters:
- debug: msg={{ network.addresses.private_man | selectattr("type", "equalto", "floating") | map(attribute='addr') | list }}
- debug: msg={{ network.addresses.private_man | selectattr("type", "match", "^floating$") | map(attribute='addr') | list }}
- debug: msg={{ network.addresses.private_man | selectattr("type", "search", "^floating$") | map(attribute='addr') | list }}
The above lines result in the following output:
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
"10.90.80.10"
]
}
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
"10.90.80.10"
]
}
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
"10.90.80.10"
]
}
