The reference sits in prose inside a module docstring, not in a markdown link or an import, so neither the link lint nor the import resolver saw it when the rest of the paths were followed down. A grep for the old names across md, py, yml and j2 is now empty.
Custom Filter Plugins for Infinito.Nexus
This directory contains custom Ansible filter plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.
When to Use a Filter Plugin
- Transform values: Use filters to transform, extract, reformat, or compute values from existing variables or facts.
- Inline data manipulation: Filters are designed for inline use in Jinja2 expressions (in templates, tasks, vars, etc.).
- No external lookups: Filters only operate on data you explicitly pass to them and cannot access external files, the Ansible inventory, or runtime context.
Examples
{{ role_name | get_entity_name }}
{{ my_list | unique }}
{{ user_email | regex_replace('^(.+)@.*$', '\\1') }}
When not to Use a Filter Plugin
- If you need to load data from an external source (e.g., file, environment, API), use a lookup plugin instead.
- If your logic requires access to inventory, facts, or host-level information that is not passed as a parameter.
