Experts Hi, I have a variable file that has a set of flowers, colors, and countries.
# cat vars/DASHBOARD_vars.yaml --- myarch: - name: brown,white,black,green - name: rose,jasmine - name: Japan,Germany,France I wish to create one HTML file each, thus 1 HTML for all colors, 1 HTML file for all flowers and 1 HTML for all countries. Below is what i expect how my colors HTML file should look like. <table bgcolor="sky blue"> <tr> <th></th> <th>brown</th> <th>white</th> <th>black</th> <th >green</th> </tr> <tr> <td>DR</td> <td><img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"></td> <td><img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"></td> <td><img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"></td> <td><img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><a href="http://localhost/sample";> <img src="/tmp/Arrow_red.png"></td> <td><a href="http://localhost/sample";> <img src="/tmp/Arrow_red.png"></td> <td><img src="/tmp/Arrow_blue.png"></td> <td><a href="http://localhost/sample";> <img src="/tmp/Arrow_red.png"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>PROD</td> <td> <img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"> </td> <td> <img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"> </td> <td> <img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"> </td> <td> <img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"> </td> </tr> </table> Likewaise flowers HTML would look like below: <table bgcolor="yellow"> <tr> <th></th> <th>rose</th> <th>jasmine</th> </tr> <tr> <td>DR</td> <td><img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"></td> <td><img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><a href="http://localhost/sample";> <img src="/tmp/Arrow.png"></td> <td><a href="http://localhost/sample";> <img src="/tmp/Arrow.png"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>PROD</td> <td> <img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"> </td> <td> <img src="/tmp/Desktop.png"> </td> </tr> </table> and similarly one HTML for countries. I guess I need to use ansible's template feature to construct these HTML files. Below is my playbook where I was able to read the variable files in order. # cat dashboard.yml - name: Play 1 hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Load a variable file" include_vars: file: "vars/DASHBOARD_vars.yaml" - name: Declare array for IPs include_tasks: "{{ playbook_dir }}/dashboard_inner.yml" loop: "{{ myarch }}" loop_control: loop_var: myresult # cat dashboard_inner.yml --- - name: Declare here include_tasks: "{{ playbook_dir }}/dashboard_inner_inner.yml" loop: "{{ myresult.name.split(',') }}" # cat dashboard_inner_inner.yml --- - block: - template: src: "templates/dashboard_body.html.j2" dest: "dashboard/dashboard_body_{{ item }}.html" - debug: msg: "HERE IS:{{ item }}" When I run it creates HTML files for each component however, I'm not sure how my "templates/dashboard_body.html.j2" should be constructed to get me the desired output? A couple of pointers to consider while construction the HTML is 1. bgcolor: <table bgcolor="sky blue"> bgcolor changes for each table i.e for flowers, colors and countries each will have three different colors. 2. if "white" folder has bad.txt files say /tmp/white/bad.txt returns true then below <td> should be populated <td><a href="http://localhost/sample";> <img src="/tmp/Arrow_red.png"></td> else the below one should be <td><img src="/tmp/Arrow_blue.png"></td> Output of my run: #
