************************************
Collection Galaxy metadata structure
************************************
A key component of an Ansible collection is the ``galaxy.yml`` file placed in the root directory of a collection. This
file contains the metadata of the collection that is used to generate a collection artifact.
Structure
=========
The ``galaxy.yml`` file must contain the following keys in valid YAML:
.. rst-class:: documentation-table
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: auto
* - Key
- Comment
{%- for entry in options %}
* - .. rst-class:: value-name
@{ entry.key }@ |br|
.. rst-class:: value-type
@{ entry.type | documented_type }@ |_|
{% if entry.get('required', False) -%}
.. rst-class:: value-separator
/ |_|
.. rst-class:: value-required
required
{%- endif %}
- {% for desc in entry.description -%}
@{ desc | trim | rst_ify }@
{% endfor -%}
{%- endfor %}
