Context State
Upon flow execution each action handler gets access to shared context.
​EJS template can be used inside options to pass values from shared context. Please refer to plugin documentation if this feature supported and what options are required.
Example:
1
version: 1.0.0
2
pipeline:
3
  plugin:
4
    # Pass "something" from "ctx"
5
    contextValue: <%- ctx.something  %>
6
    # Pass "password" from "secrets"
7
    secretValue: <%- secrets.password %>
Copied!
Available actions:
​ctx - assign values to "ctx"
​secret - assign values to "secret"
​summary - report in the end of fbl execution
Action Handler: Context Values Assignment
Assign non-secret values to context ctx field or its child properties by path. General use case: register shared non-sensitive options that later will be used by actions.
ID: com.fireblink.fbl.context.values
Aliases:
fbl.context.values
context.values
context
ctx
Example 1: Assign values to context root directly:
1
ctx:
2
  # assign to "ctx" directly
3
  '#x27;:
4
    inline:
5
      something: true
6
      else: false
Copied!
Example 2: Assign values from file "vars.yml" to field "vars -> files":
1
ctx:
2
  # create hierarchy of objects: "files" inside "vars" that is inside "ctx"
3
  $.vars:
4
    files:
5
      - vars.yml
Copied!
Example 3: Assign values from file "vars.yml" after inline ones:
1
ctx:
2
  '#x27;:
3
    inline:
4
      test: true
5
    files:
6
      - vars.yml
7
    # specify that files have a priority over inline vars
8
    # if not provided inline vars will have priority over files
9
    priority: 'files'
Copied!
Example 4: Override instead of assigning
1
ctx:
2
  '$.test':
3
    inline:
4
      test: true
5
    # [optional] override everything tha tis inside "test" object with { test: true }
6
    # use with caution
7
    override: true
Copied!
Example 5: Push to array
1
ctx:
2
  '$.test':
3
    inline: 1
4
    # [optional] override everything tha tis inside "test" object with { test: true }
5
    # use with caution
6
    override: true
7
    # [required] if you want to push inline or value(s) from file(s) to targets array
8
    push: true
9
    # [optional] if enambled and value is array its child items will be pushed instead of array itself
10
    children: false
Copied!
Example 6: Find files by mask:
1
ctx:
2
  '#x27;:
3
    files:
4
      - vars/*.yml
Copied!
Action Handler: Secret Values Assignment
Same as above, but for secrets. All the options will me masked in report to prevent any security leakage.
ID: com.fireblink.fbl.secret.values
Aliases:

secret
Example 1: Assign values to secrets root directly:
1
secrets:
2
  '#x27;:
3
    inline:
4
      something: true
5
      else: false
Copied!
Example 2: Assign values from file "vars.yml" to field "vars -> files":
1
secrets:
2
  $.vars:
3
    files:
4
      - vars.yml
Copied!
Example 3: Assign values from file "vars.yml" after inline ones:
1
secrets:
2
  '.':
3
    inline:
4
      test: true
5
    files:
6
      - vars.yml

    # [optional] specify that files have a priority over inline vars
9
    # if not provided inline vars will have priority over files

Example 5: Push to array
1
secrets:
2
  '$.test':
3
    inline: 1
4
    # [optional] override everything tha tis inside "test" object with { test: true }
5
    # use with caution
6
    override: true
7
    # [required] if you want to push inline or value(s) from file(s) to target's array
8
    push: true
9
    # [optional] if enambled and value is array its child items will be pushed instead of array itself
10
    children: false

Action Handler: Summary
Add summary record. All summary records will be printed once the main flow ends.
