Use php generator ansible playbook file.

Installation

The recommended approach is to install the project through Composer.

composer require laijim/php-playbook

#Instantiate

//Instantiate
$pb = new \Laijim\Playbook\Playbook(
    new \Laijim\Playbook\Entity\Worker(
        __DIR__ . '/test',
        new \Laijim\Playbook\Entity\LocalHostsFileWriter(),
        new \Laijim\Playbook\Entity\LocalTasksFileWriter(),
        new \Laijim\Playbook\Entity\LocalVariablesFileWriter(),
        new Filesystem()
    )
);

//set host and variables
$pb->setHosts([
    'web' => ['node1', '127.0.0.1'],
    'db' => ['node1', '127.0.0.1'],
])->setVariables([
    'step1' => [
        "var1" => "var1",
        "var2" => "var2"
    ],
    'step2' => [
        "var1" => "var1",
        "var2" => "var2"
    ]
]);

//set tasks
$task1 = new \Laijim\Playbook\Task();
$task1->useHost('web')
    ->useVariables(['step1'])
    ->addTasks([
        ["name" => "debug 1", "debug" => "var=var1"],
        ["name" => "debug 2", "debug" => "var=var2"],
        ["name" => "step 3", "shell" => "echo handlers", "notify" => "step 4"],
    ])->directive('handlers', [
        ["name" => "step 4", "shell" => "echo final"],
    ]);

$task2 = new \Laijim\Playbook\Task();
$task2->useHost('db')
    ->useVariables(['step2'])
    ->addTasks([
        ["name" => "debug 1", "debug" => "var=var1"],
        ["name" => "debug 2", "debug" => "var=var2"],
        ["name" => "step 3", "shell" => "echo handlers", "notify" => "step 4"],
    ])->directive('handlers', [
        ["name" => "step 4", "shell" => "echo final"],
    ]);

//generate playbook files
$pb->register($task1)
->register($task2)
->generate();

It will finally generate this directory structure:

├── hosts
├── playbook.yaml
└── vars
    ├── step1.yaml
    └── step2.yaml

hosts:

[web]
node1
127.0.0.1

[db]
node1
127.0.0.1

playbook.yaml:

        -
        hosts: web
        vars_files:
            - ./vars/step1.yaml
        task:
            -
                name: 'debug 1'
                debug: var=var1
            -
                name: 'debug 2'
                debug: var=var2
            -
                name: 'step 3'
                shell: 'echo handlers'
                notify: 'step 4'
        handlers:
            -
                name: 'step 4'
                shell: 'echo final'
        -
        hosts: db
        vars_files:
            - ./vars/step2.yaml
        task:
            -
                name: 'debug 1'
                debug: var=var1
            -
                name: 'debug 2'
                debug: var=var2
            -
                name: 'step 3'
                shell: 'echo handlers'
                notify: 'step 4'
        handlers:
            -
                name: 'step 4'
                shell: 'echo final'

vars/stepN.yaml:

var1: var1
var2: var2

vars/stepN.yaml:

var1: var1
var2: var2

Let's test it!

ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yaml
