Filter lists by attributes - Ansible

Question

I have a variable "network" registered in Ansible:

{
    "addresses": {
        "private_ext": [
            {
                "type": "fixed",
                "addr": "172.16.2.105"
            }
        ],
        "private_man": [
            {
                "type": "fixed",
                "addr": "172.16.1.105"
            },
            {
                "type": "floating",
                "addr": "10.90.80.11"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Is it possible to get the IP address ("addr") with type="floating"?

Answer 1

Filter the dicts using selectattr_filter in combination with equalto_test. Something like this/:

network.addresses.private_man | selectattr("type", "equalto", "fixed")

This execution requires you to have Jinja2 v2.8 or later
