Yaml Parser with additional functionality.

Package Exports

  • yaml-boost

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (yaml-boost) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Yaml-Boost

Basic Yaml Loading with additional functionality, i.e. resolve file depedencies, resolve variables, deep merge hierachies.

Useful for loading improved serverless configuration. For yaml loading this package uses js-yaml.

Getting Started

$ npm install --save yaml-boost

Usage

const yaml = require("yaml-boost");

yaml.load("config.yaml");

Variable and File Resolution

Works identical to how this is defined for serverless here.

Extensions

Bake variables when loading files
${file(./path/to/file.yml), key1=value1&key2=value2}
Reference Js files

Reference js instead of yaml files.

${file(./path/to/file.js)}

The reference file needs to export simple object containing configuration

module.exports = {};

Relative File References

Once can reference files relative to the current file by using ^ as a prefix like so

${file(^/subfolder/of/current/file.yml)}

Deep Merge

Analogue to the << yaml syntax we can use <<< to deep merge into the current nesting level. This is helpful when merging files into already existing hierarchies.

Example:

data:
  - list entry one

<<<:
  - data:
      - list entry two
  - other: things

results in

data:
  - list entry one
  - list entry two
other: things

Serverless Example

Define serverless.js as

const path = require("path");
const optimist = require('optimist');
const yaml = require("yaml-boost");

module.exports = yaml.load(path.join(__dirname, "serverless.core.yml"), optimist.argv);

Then instead of defining serverless.yml, define your config in serverless.core.yml.
