# Advanced usage

## Advanced YAML syntax
|
|
|
|
YAML has some advanced syntax features that can be used like variables to reduce duplication in your pipeline config:
|
|
|
|
### Anchors & aliases
|
|
|
|
You can use [YAML anchors & aliases](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/#3222-anchors-and-aliases) as variables in your pipeline config.
|
|
|
|
To convert this:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: test
|
|
image: golang:1.18
|
|
commands: go test ./...
|
|
- name: build
|
|
image: golang:1.18
|
|
commands: build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Just add a new section called **variables** like this:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
+variables:
|
|
+ - &golang_image 'golang:1.18'
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: test
|
|
- image: golang:1.18
|
|
+ image: *golang_image
|
|
commands: go test ./...
|
|
- name: build
|
|
- image: golang:1.18
|
|
+ image: *golang_image
|
|
commands: build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Map merges and overwrites
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
- &base-plugin-settings
|
|
target: dist
|
|
recursive: false
|
|
try: true
|
|
- &special-setting
|
|
special: true
|
|
- &some-plugin codeberg.org/6543/docker-images/print_env
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: develop
|
|
image: *some-plugin
|
|
settings:
|
|
<<: [*base-plugin-settings, *special-setting] # merge two maps into an empty map
|
|
when:
|
|
branch: develop
|
|
|
|
- name: main
|
|
image: *some-plugin
|
|
settings:
|
|
<<: *base-plugin-settings # merge one map and ...
|
|
try: false # ... overwrite original value
|
|
ongoing: false # ... adding a new value
|
|
when:
|
|
branch: main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sequence merges
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
pre_cmds: &pre_cmds
|
|
- echo start
|
|
- whoami
|
|
post_cmds: &post_cmds
|
|
- echo stop
|
|
hello_cmd: &hello_cmd
|
|
- echo hello
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: step1
|
|
image: debian
|
|
commands:
|
|
- <<: *pre_cmds # prepend a sequence
|
|
- echo exec step now do dedicated things
|
|
- <<: *post_cmds # append a sequence
|
|
- name: step2
|
|
image: debian
|
|
commands:
|
|
- <<: [*pre_cmds, *hello_cmd] # prepend two sequences
|
|
- echo echo from second step
|
|
- <<: *post_cmds
|
|
```
|
|

## Persisting environment data between steps
|
|
|
|
One can create a file containing environment variables, and then source it in each step that needs them.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: init
|
|
image: bash
|
|
commands:
|
|
- echo "FOO=hello" >> envvars
|
|
- echo "BAR=world" >> envvars
|
|
|
|
- name: debug
|
|
image: bash
|
|
commands:
|
|
- source envvars
|
|
- echo $FOO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Declaring global variables
|
|
|
|
As described in [Global environment variables](./50-environment.md#global-environment-variables), you can define global variables:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
WOODPECKER_ENVIRONMENT=first_var:value1,second_var:value2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this tightly couples the server and app configurations (where the app is a completely separate application). But this is a good option for truly global variables which should apply to all steps in all pipelines for all apps.
