Usage

The plugin supports two parameters. Choose either or both. If both are provided, the plugin will merge or replace value with the value of merge.key in merge.file.

• value: A string or structure of values to parse with erb
• merge: (optional)
  • file: yaml file to load, defaults to override.yaml
  • key: key in the file to merge with the optional value parameter

merge.file variables can be referenced by inline erb using the builtin variable @dynaml. Key names are symbols.
