convert dvar
A dvar value is normally a string, which could be a formated yml content, then be converted to an object. This demo shows that you can use a flag: toObj to notate this dvar will be transformed to an object and registered to global runtime
Rules
- you can reference to plain dvar with the string|untemplated value
- you can reference to hiera structure of a object once it is converted
- the new name of the dvar object will be: dvar_object
- the flag keepName makes the dvar keep its original name as is instead of creating dvar_object
- keepName only used and pair to toObj

Main task yaml file
vars:
student:
name: Tom
gender: Male
address:
suburb:
name: sydney
postcode: 2000
CBD: yes
school: Sydney Grammar
dvars:
- name: a_smart_guy
value: |
name: Tom
gender: Male
school: Sydney Grammar
flags: [toObj]
- name: school_address
# expand: 2
desc: |
it can reference to the dvar object a_smart_guy_object has been registered from last step
value: |
address:
suburb:
name: {{.student.address.suburb.name}}
postcode: 2000
CBD: yes
school: {{.student.address.school}}
tom:
name: {{.a_smart_guy_object.name}}
flags: [toObj]
- name: tom
desc: |
in this case, we use keepName flag to make the dvar name the same name we give. So instead we have regitered tom (yml string) and tom_object (object), we now only have tom as registered object
value: |
name: {{.a_smart_guy_object.name}}
gender: Male
