kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Fable 5 40e553069d refactor(structure): nest prefix-grouped sibling files into subfolders
Move files that share a delimiter-bounded name prefix within a folder (threshold 2) into a subfolder named after the prefix, dropping the prefix from the filename. Covers plugins/filter (docker, generate, has, merge, get/all), env handler subpackages, utils/roles/entity, utils/tests/swarm/write, role SQL/scripts/templates, keycloak/mailu task-includes, shared tasks/utils/load, and CI scripts. Update every import, query_file/script/include_tasks/src/lookup target, compose bind mount, and python -m path to the new locations.

Extend the prefix-grouped-files lint to threshold 2 with dir-level .nocheck and file-head nocheck opt-outs, and skip groups whose shortest member's stem equals the shared prefix. Keep flat only where a loader forbids nesting: WordPress mu-plugins and the docs/requirements namespace. Ansible filter discovery is recursive, so nested filters stay Jinja-resolvable.

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.
