You should separate the host from the port number. You could have something, like: development: adapter: mysql2 encoding: utf8 database: my_db_name username: root password: my_password host: 127.0.0.1 port: 3306
The & marks an alias for the node (in your example &default aliases the development node as “default”) and the * references the aliased node with the name “default”. The <<: inserts the content of that node. Allow me to quote the YAML spec here: Repeated nodes (objects) are first identified by an anchor (marked … Read more
The database.yml is the file where you set up all the information to connect to the database. It differs depending on the kind of DB you use. You can find more information about this in the Rails Guide or any tutorial explaining how to setup a rails project. The information in the database.yml file is … Read more
A slight revision of @fivetenwill’s answer, which works for me on Spring Boot 1.4.3.RELEASE: foo: “[bar.com]”: a: b “[baz.com]”: a: c You need the brackets to be inside quotes, otherwise the YAML parser basically discards them before they get to Spring, and they don’t make it into the property name.
You can use a repeated node, like this: user_dir: &user_home /home/user user_pics: *user_home I don’t think you can concatenate though, so this wouldn’t work: user_dir: &user_home /home/user user_pics: *user_home/pics
You can use PyYAML’s low-level event interface. Assuming you have an input YAML file and want to write the modifications to an output YAML file, you can write a function that goes through PyYAML’s generated event stream and inserts the requested additional values at the specified locations: import yaml from yaml.events import * class AppendableEvents: … Read more
YAML supports inline comments, but does not support block comments. From Wikipedia: Comments begin with the number sign ( # ), can start anywhere on a line, and continue until the end of the line A comparison with JSON, also from Wikipedia: The syntax differences are subtle and seldom arise in practice: JSON allows extended … Read more
You can use the includes option in the yaml to specify a custom addition to your latex header. The yaml part would look like — output: pdf_document: keep_tex: true includes: in_header: header.tex — and you need to save a separate file called header.tex with the following defining your company logo like so: \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy} \rhead{\includegraphics[width … Read more
The merge key type is probably what you want. It uses a special << mapping key to indicate merges, allowing an alias to a mapping (or a sequence of such aliases) to be used as an initializer to merge into a single mapping. Additionally, you can still explicitly override values, or add more that weren’t … Read more
