- Updated filter_plugins/get_service_name.py: * Default suffix handling: auto-select .service (no '@') or .timer (with '@') * Explicit False disables suffix entirely * Explicit string suffix still supported - Updated sys-systemctl handler to use new filter instead of SYS_SERVICE_SUFFIX - Extended unit tests to cover new suffix behavior Ref: https://chat.openai.com/share/8c2de9e6-daa0-44dd-ae13-d7a7d8d8b6d9
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.
