# Custom Modules (`library/`) for CyMaIS
|
||||
|
||||
This directory contains **custom Ansible modules** developed specifically for the CyMaIS project.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use the `library/` Directory
|
||||
|
||||
- **Place custom Ansible modules here:**
|
||||
Use this directory for any Python modules you have written yourself that are not part of the official Ansible distribution.
|
||||
- **Extend automation capabilities:**
|
||||
Custom modules allow you to implement logic, workflows, or integrations that are not available through built-in Ansible modules or existing community collections.
|
||||
- **Project-specific functionality:**
|
||||
Use for project- or infrastructure-specific tasks, such as managing custom APIs, provisioning special infrastructure resources, or integrating with internal systems.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- Managing a special internal API for your company.
|
||||
- Automating a resource that has no official Ansible module.
|
||||
- Creating a highly customized deployment step for your environment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
In your playbook, call your custom module as you would any other Ansible module:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: Use custom CyMaIS module
|
||||
cymais_my_custom_module:
|
||||
option1: value1
|
||||
option2: value2
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
Ansible automatically looks in the `library/` directory for custom modules during execution.
|
||||
|
||||
## When *not* to Use the `library/` Directory
|
||||
|
||||
* Do **not** place shared utility code here—put that in `module_utils/` for use across multiple modules or plugins.
|
||||
* Do **not** put filter or lookup plugins here—those belong in `filter_plugins/` or `lookup_plugins/` respectively.
|
||||

||||
