YAML Tags

`!KeyOf`

Example:

policy: !KeyOf my-policy-id

Resolves to the primary key of the model instance defined by id my-policy-id.

If no matching entry can be found, an error is raised and the blueprint is invalid.

`!Env`

Example:

password: !Env my_env_var

Returns the value of the given environment variable. Can be used as a scalar with !Env my_env_var, default to return a default value.

`!Find`

Examples:

configure_flow: !Find [authentik_flows.flow, [slug, default-password-change]]

configure_flow:
    !Find [
        authentik_flows.flow,
        [!Context property_name, !Context property_value],
    ]

Looks up any model and resolves to the the matches' primary key. First argument is the model to be queried, remaining arguments are expected to be pairs of key=value pairs to query for.

`!Context`

Example:

configure_flow: !Context foo

Find values from the context. Can optionally be called with a default like !Context [foo, default-value].

`!Format`

Example:

name: !Format [my-policy-%s, !Context instance_name]

Format a string using python's % formatting. First argument is the format string, any remaining arguments are used for formatting.

`!If`

Minimal example:

# Short form
# !If [<condition>]
required: !If [true]

# Longer form
# !If [<condition>, <when true>, <when false>]
required: !If [true, true, false]

Full example:

attributes: !If [
        !Condition [...], # Or any valid YAML or custom tag. Evaluated as boolean in Python
        {
            # When condition evaluates to true
            dictionary:
                {
                    with: { keys: "and_values" },
                    and_nested_custom_tags: !Format ["foo-%s", !Context foo],
                },
        },
        [
            # When condition evaluates to false
            list,
            with,
            items,
            !Format ["foo-%s", !Context foo],
        ],
    ]

Conditionally add YAML to a blueprint.

Similar to a one-line if, the first argument is the condition, which can be any valid yaml or custom tag. It will be evaluated as boolean in python. However, keep in mind that dictionaries and lists will always evaluate to true, unless they are empty.

The second argument is used when the condition is true, and the third - when false. The YAML inside both arguments will be fully resolved, thus it is possible to use custom YAML tags and even nest them inside dictionaries and lists.

`!Condition`

Minimal example:

required: !Condition [OR, true]

Full example:

required: !Condition [
    AND, # Valid modes are: AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR
    !Context instance_name,
    !Find [authentik_flows.flow, [slug, default-password-change],
    "My string",
    123
]

Converts one or more arguments to their boolean representations, then merges all representations together. Requires at least one argument after the mode selection.

If only a single argument is provided, its boolean representation will be returned for all normal modes and its negated boolean representation will be returned for all negated modes.

Normally, it should be used to define complex conditions for use with an !If tag or for the conditions attribute of a blueprint entry (see the blueprint file structure). However, this is essentially just a boolean evaluator so it can be used everywhere a boolean representation is required.

`!Enumerate`, `!Index` and `!Value`

These tags collectively make it possible to iterate over objects which support iteration. Any iterable Python object is supported. Such objects are sequences ([]), mappings ({}) and even strings.

!Enumerate tag:

This tag takes 3 arguments:

!Enumerate [<iterable>, <output_object_type>, <single_item_yaml>]

iterable: Any Python iterable or custom tag that resolves to such iterable
output_object_type: SEQ or MAP. Controls whether the returned YAML will be a mapping or a sequence.
single_item_yaml: The YAML to use to create a single entry in the output object

!Index tag:

info

This tag is only valid inside an !Enumerate tag

This tag takes 1 argument:

!Index <depth>

depth: Must be >= 0. A depth of 0 refers to the !Enumerate tag this tag is located in. A depth of 1 refers to one !Enumerate tag above that (to be used when multiple !Enumerate tags are nested inside each other).

Accesses the !Enumerate tag's iterable and resolves to the index of the item currently being iterated (in case !Enumerate is iterating over a sequence), or the mapping key (in case !Enumerate is iterating over a mapping).

For example, given a sequence like this - ["a", "b", "c"], this tag will resolve to 0 on the first !Enumerate tag iteration, 1 on the second and so on. However, if given a mapping like this - {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2", "key3": "value3"}, it will first resolve to key1, then to key2 and so on.

!Value tag:

info

This tag is only valid inside an !Enumerate tag

This tag takes 1 argument:

!Value <depth>

depth: Must be >= 0. A depth of 0 refers to the !Enumerate tag this tag is located in. A depth of 1 refers to one !Enumerate tag above that (to be used when multiple !Enumerate tags are nested inside each other).

Accesses the !Enumerate tag's iterable and resolves to the value of the item currently being iterated.

For example, given a sequence like this - ["a", "b", "c"], this tag will resolve to a on the first !Enumerate tag iteration, b on the second and so on. If given a mapping like this - {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2", "key3": "value3"}, it will first resolve to value1, then to value2 and so on.

Minimal examples:

configuration_stages: !Enumerate [
        !Context map_of_totp_stage_names_and_types,
        SEQ, # Output a sequence
        !Find [
            !Format [
                "authentik_stages_authenticator_%s.authenticator%sstage",
                !Index 0,
                !Index 0,
            ],
            [name, !Value 0],
        ], # The value of each item in the sequence
    ]

The above example will resolve to something like this:

configuration_stages:
    - !Find [
          authentik_stages_authenticator_<stage_type_1>.authenticator<stage_type_1>stage,
          [name, <stage_name_1>],
      ]
    - !Find [
          authentik_stages_authenticator_<stage_type_2>.authenticator<stage_type_2>stage,
          [name, <stage_name_2>],
      ]

Similarly, a mapping can be generated like so:

example: !Enumerate [
        !Context list_of_totp_stage_names,
        MAP, # Output a map
        [
            !Index 0, # The key to assign to each entry
            !Value 0, # The value to assign to each entry
        ],
    ]

The above example will resolve to something like this:

example:
    0: <stage_name_1>
    1: <stage_name_2>

Full example:

caution

Note that an !Enumeration tag's iterable can never be an !Item or !Value tag with a depth of 0. Minimum depth allowed is 1. This is because a depth of 0 refers to the !Enumeration tag the !Item or !Value tag is in, and an !Enumeration tag cannot iterate over itself.

example: !Enumerate [
        !Context sequence, # ["foo", "bar"]
        MAP, # Output a map
        [
            !Index 0, # Use the indexes of the items in the sequence as keys
            !Enumerate [
                # Nested enumeration
                # Iterate over each item of the parent enumerate tag.
                # Notice depth is 1, not 0, since we are inside the nested enumeration tag!
                !Value 1,
                SEQ, # Output a sequence
                !Format [
                    "%s: (index: %d, letter: %s)",
                    !Value 1,
                    !Index 0,
                    !Value 0,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ]

The above example will resolve to something like this:

"0":
    - "foo: (index: 0, letter: f)"
    - "foo: (index: 1, letter: o)"
    - "foo: (index: 2, letter: o)"
"1":
    - "bar: (index: 0, letter: b)"
    - "bar: (index: 1, letter: a)"
    - "bar: (index: 2, letter: r)"
