yaml-injection

usage

in python

import yaml
from yaml_injection import InjectionLoader

with open(file_path) as in_:
    data = yaml.load(in_, InjectionLoader)

in yaml

The key word is !inject.

There are two types of syntax: simple and extended.

simple syntax

!inject file: path to file in local file system

!inject ref: section subsection 

ref is a keys leading to section separated by space.

* Yep it will works only if keys does not contain spaces.

!inject url: public url with yaml file 

extended syntax

WARNING: A SPACE SYMBOL AFTER !inject AND BEFORE : IS MANDATORY!!

!inject : 
    file: path to file in local file system
    url: public url with yaml file 
    ref: section subsection 

Both simple and extended syntax accept lists in file, url and ref sections.
