default¶

Note

Always use the FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) arista.avd.default when using this plugin.

Returns input value if defined and is not none. Otherwise, return default value.

Synopsis¶

The arista.avd.default filter can provide the same essential capability as the built-in default filter. It will return the input value only if it's valid and, if not, provide a default value instead. Our custom filter requires a value to be not undefined and not None to pass through. Furthermore, the filter allows multiple default values as arguments, which will undergo the same validation until we find a valid default value. As a last resort, the filter will return None.

Parameters¶

Argument	Type	Required	Default	Value Restrictions	Description
`_input`	any	True	None		Default value to check. Will be returned untouched if `not undefined` and `not None`.
`default_values`	any	optional	None		One or more default values will be tested individually, and the first valid value will be used.

Examples¶

---
myvalue: "{{ variable | arista.avd.default(default_value_1, default_value_2) }}"

Return Values¶

Name	Type	Description
_value	any	Input value if `not undefined` and `not None`. Otherwise, return the first defined default value or `None`.
