Overview

Jinja2 Ansible Filters is a port of the ansible filters provided by Ansible's templating engine.

Renamed filters

Due to naming conflicts with Jinja2 builtin filters, these filters have been prefixed with ans_

• groupby
• random

so:

• ans_groupby
• ans_random

Additionally any filter naming collisions detected at runtime will be renamed to ans_filter and a warning message raised for each.

Several heavy filters have been omitted due to their extensive dependency on ansible core:

Excluded Filters

• combine
• get_encrypted_password
• dict2items
• items2dict
