.. code-block:: yaml
- name: create a tag dictionary of non-empty tags
set_fact:
tags_dict: "{{ (tags_dict|default({}))|combine({item.key: item.value}) }}"
loop: "{{ tags|dict2items }}"
- name: Using dict2items
debug:
msg: "{{ item.key }} - {{ item.value }}"
loop: "{{ tag_data | dict2items }}"
vars:
tags:
tag_data:
Environment: dev
Application: payment
Another: "{{ doesnotexist|default() }}"
when: item.value != ""
Here, we don't want to set empty tags, so we create a dictionary containing only non-empty tags.
Here, we are iterating over `tag_data` and printing the key and the value from it.
