yaml_decode

The yaml_decode function decodes a string representing YAML into an Alloy value. yaml_decode fails if the string argument provided cannot be parsed as YAML.

A common use case of yaml_decode is to decode the output of a local.file component to an Alloy value.

Examples

Copy

> yaml_decode("15")
15
> yaml_decode("[1, 2, 3]")
[1, 2, 3]
> yaml_decode("null")
null
> yaml_decode("key: value")
{
  key = "value",
}
> yaml_decode(local.file.some_file.content)
"Hello, world!"
