Built-in content.list plugin

[traut]

Design

content.list plugin is a part of the fabric binary.

Specification

• the plugin has no configuration options
• API interface:
  • item_template -- a required string attribute. Defines a template string to be used for rendering a list item.

Behavior

The item_template template is applied to every object in query_result list.

For example,

content list "foo" {
  item_template = "* {{ event_type }}: {{ name }}": 
}

for query_result value

[
  {
    "event_type": "endpoint",
    "name": "Event Name 1"
  },
  {
    "event_type": "firewall",
    "name": "Event Name 2"
  }
]

will produce:

* endpoint: Event Name 1
* firewall: Event Name 2

It is enough to use "1. " at the start of the line (and render every line with "1. ") to get a proper ordered list, according to GitHub Markdown docs.

Deliverables

• new built-in content.list plugin
• the unit tests for the plugin
