Grouping
^^^^^^^^
If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
- name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
debug:
var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')
- name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point
debug:
var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('mount')
This produces:
.. code-block:: ansible-output
