Apply values

String templates with placeholders can be applied to properties of objects, like packages or targets.

{
    "deploy.reloaded": {
        "values": {
            "sub_directory": "name_of_subdirectory"
        },

        "targets": [
            {
                "name": "My local target",
                "type": "local",

                "applyValuesTo": {
                    "dir": "/path/to/output/${sub_directory}"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

What happens is, that the value of dir property in applyValuesTo object will be handled as template, because it is a string.

The result value (/path/to/output/sub_directory) will be written to dir property of the underlying target (My local target).

These templates are always up-to-date, what means, that always the current values of the including placeholders will be used.
