DOCUMENTATION: name: product version_added: "historical" short_description: cartesian product of lists description: - Combines two lists into one with each element being the product of the elements of the input lists. - Creates 'nested loops'. Looping over C(listA) and C(listB) is the same as looping over C(listA | product(listB)). notes: - This is a passthrough to Python's C(itertools.product) positional: _input, _additional_lists, repeat options: _input: description: First list. type: list required: true _additional_lists: #TODO: *args, N possible additional lists description: Additional list for the product. type: list required: false repeat: description: Number of times to repeat the product against itself. default: 1 type: int EXAMPLES: | # product => [ [ 1, "a" ], [ 1, "b" ], [ 1, "c" ], [ 2, "a" ], [ 2, "b" ], [ 2, "c" ], [ 3, "a" ], [ 3, "b" ], [ 3, "c" ], [ 4, "a" ], [ 4, "b" ], [ 4, "c" ], [ 5, "a" ], [ 5, "b" ], [ 5, "c" ] ] product: "{{ [1,2,3,4,5] | product(['a', 'b', 'c']) }}" # repeat_original => [ [ 1, 1 ], [ 1, 2 ], [ 2, 1 ], [ 2, 2 ] ] repeat_original: "{{ [1,2] | product(repeat=2) }}" # repeat_product => [ [ 1, "a", 1, "a" ], [ 1, "a", 1, "b" ], [ 1, "a", 2, "a" ], [ 1, "a", 2, "b" ], [ 1, "b", 1, "a" ], [ 1, "b", 1, "b" ], [ 1, "b", 2, "a" ], [ 1, "b", 2, "b" ], [ 2, "a", 1, "a" ], [ 2, "a", 1, "b" ], [ 2, "a", 2, "a" ], [ 2, "a", 2, "b" ], [ 2, "b", 1, "a" ], [ 2, "b", 1, "b" ], [ 2, "b", 2, "a" ], [ 2, "b", 2, "b" ] ] repeat_product: "{{ [1,2] | product(['a', 'b'], repeat=2) }}" # domains => [ 'example.com', 'ansible.com', 'redhat.com' ] domains: "{{ [ 'example', 'ansible', 'redhat'] | product(['com']) | map('join', '.') }}" RETURN: _value: description: List of lists of combined elements from the input lists. type: list elements: list
