The variables
-----------------
Here is a :term:`structure file` example with only a variable **variable** named `proxy_mode`
A variable can be defined without other informations.
.. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_010/firefox/00-proxy.yml
:language: yaml
:caption: A Rougail structure file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a description.
:name: RougailStructureFirstVariable
..
%YAML 1.2
---
version: 1.1
proxy_mode:
...
But it's better to describe this variable:
.. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_011/firefox/00-proxy.yml
:language: yaml
:caption: A Rougail structure file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a description.
:name: RougailStructureFirstVariableWithDescription
..
%YAML 1.2
---
version: 1.1
proxy_mode: # Configure Proxy Access to the Internet
...
The same with a default value:
.. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_012/firefox/00-proxy.yml
:language: yaml
:caption: A Rougail structure file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a default value.
:name: RougailStructureFirstVariableDefault
..
%YAML 1.2
---
version: 1.1
proxy_mode: No proxy # Configure Proxy Access to the Internet
...
variable
A :term:`variable` is a declaration unit that represents a business domain metaphor,
the most common example is that a variable that represents a configuration option
in a application, but a variable represents something more that a configuration option.
It provides a business domain specific representation unit.
Families of variables
--------------------------
family
A :term:`family` is simply a container of variables and/ore some subfamilies.
Here how a YAML structure file with a family looks like:
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: A :file:`hello.yml` structure sample file
---
version: '1.1'
world:
description: Hello world family container
name:
description: Somebody to say hello
default: rougail
Here, we have a family named `world`.
This family contains a variable named `name`
